Who This Author Is

Apuleius has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 4 catalog-linked books across 1983 to 2004, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Classics & Literary Fiction.

Best for readers who want a dependable place to start before opening the full catalog list. If you want the easiest first click, start with The Golden Ass (Penguin Classics) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1983 to 2004; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Farrar, Straus, Giroux and Harvard Univ Pr.
