Immerse yourself in the hilarious and daring story of Lucius with 'The Golden Ass', a classic of Latin literature adapted by Peter Singer. This tale follows the misadventures of a young man who, after experimenting with magic, transforms into a donkey. Through his experiences as an animal, the novel reveals a crude reality full of humor, sex, and supernatural elements. This beautifully illustrated edition presents the central core of the story, omitting digressions from the original text and adding reflections on the cultural context and ethical significance of the work today.
Peter Albert David Singer is an Australian moral philosopher who is Emeritus Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. Singer's work specialises in applied ethics, approaching the subject from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He wrote the book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues for vegetarianism, and the essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", which argues the moral imperative of donating to help the poor around the world. For most of his career he was a preference utilitarian. He revealed in The Point of View of the Universe (2014), co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian.
