Who wouldn&rsquo;t want to read a book titled &ldquo;The Golden Ass&rdquo;?</p> <p><strong>Summary</strong></p> <p>The main character Lucius is obsessed with magic. Through a series of events he ends up accidentally being transformed into an ass. Evidently, this is the only entire novel that has survived from ancient Rome. The style is that of a main story with many short stories injected by various devices such as someone retelling a rumor, campfire stories etc.</p>
