The Golden Ass (Machiavelli)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
L'asino (also called L'asino d'oro; English: The Golden Ass) is a satirical poem of eight chapters written by the Italian political scientist and writer Niccolò Machiavelli in 1517. A modernized version of Apuleius' The Golden Ass (rather than a translation of it), it is written in terza rima. It also concerns the theme of metamorphosis, and contains autobiographical, grotesque, and allegorical episodes.
