What and who he was attend a while, and you shall understand that it was even I, the writer of mine own Metamorphosie and strange alteration of figure. Hymettus, Athens, Isthmia, Ephire Tenaros, and Sparta, being fat and fertile soiles (as I pray you give credit to the bookes of more everlasting fame) be places where myne antient progeny and linage did sometime flourish: there I say, in Athens, when I was yong, I went first to schoole. Soone after (as a stranger) I arrived at Rome, whereas by great industry, and without instruction of any schoolmaster, I attained to the full perfection of the Latine tongue. Behold, I first crave and beg your pardon, lest I should happen to displease or offend any of you by the rude and rusticke utterance of this strange and forrein language. And verily this new alteration of speech doth correspond to the enterprised matter whereof I purpose to entreat, I will set forth unto you a pleasant Grecian feast. Whereunto gentle Reader if thou wilt give attendant eare, it will minister unto thee such delectable matter as thou shalt be contented withall.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Funny & Engaging By S. Browne Loved this book! The anecdotes are pretty crazy, but because of that they stand out and remain in your mind for a while. It's not that there are spelling "mistakes", but this is an older translation, so sometimes strange words are used (like in one of my favorite lines: "the Moone to purge his skimme upon herbes and trees to serve for sorceries"; skimme being sperm? I think...) or spelled differently. Anyway, it seems intelligible enough, and a worthwhile read. :)
14 of 19 people found the following review helpful. not a good version By H. Wang dont buy it, they converted from PDF to text file, and did not correct mistakes made by machines. You will never understand this story if you read this version.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good Book By History Lover It has the original novel in full and in text only format, which is fine as the original was text only. Worth downloading if you want to read it, but you may want to instead purchase/download one of the "The Complete Works of..." type collections, if one exists for Lucius Apuleius. Perhaps a collection of classic works…? They usually are less than $5.00 in digital format, especially for older novels/stories that are now in the public domain. An annotated version of this book would also be a much better choice for most readers as having been written 1,000's of years ago it can be rather difficult to follow at times.
