Um þessa rafbók
Apuleius (auch Apuleius von Madauros oder Apuleius von Madaura; * um 123 in Madauros, der heutigen Ortschaft M'Daourouch im Nordosten Algeriens; † wohl nach 170) war ein antiker Schriftsteller, Redner und Philosoph (Mittelplatoniker). Seinen andauernden Ruhm verdankt er seinem Hauptwerk, dem lateinischen Roman Metamorphosen, auch bekannt als Der goldene Esel, der zur Weltliteratur gezählt wird. Die Interpretation des Romans, der wegen seiner Vielschichtigkeit zahlreiche Rätsel aufgibt, gehört zu den schwierigsten Aufgaben der Klassischen Philologie. Die raffinierte Erzähltechnik und die geschickte Verhüllung der Absichten des Autors hat in der Forschung zu einer Fülle von konkurrierenden Deutungsansätzen geführt. Die in den Roman eingefügte Erzählung von Amor und Psyche hat seit der Renaissance das Lesepublikum fasziniert und eine außerordentliche Breitenwirkung entfaltet. Ihr mythologischer Stoff, die Liebesbeziehung zwischen dem Gott Amor und der Königstochter Psyche, hat Hunderten von Dichtern, Schriftstellern, Malern, Bildhauern, Komponisten und Choreografen Motive geliefert. An der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion über die Erzählung haben sich neben den Altertumswissenschaftlern und Literaturtheoretikern auch eine Reihe von Psychoanalytikern beteiligt.

Um höfundinn
Apuleius, a multifaceted figure of the 2nd century CE, was a Romanized Berber from Madaurus, a province in North Africa. Born around 124 CE, he was a philosopher, rhetorician, and author, whose life and works offer a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and intellectual currents of the Roman Empire. Educated in Carthage and Athens, Apuleius was deeply influenced by Platonic philosophy, which permeates much of his writing.His life was not without controversy. Apuleius famously defended himself in a legal case known as the "Apology" or "De Magia," where he was accused of using magic to win the affections and wealth of a wealthy widow, Pudentilla. This defense speech is a masterful blend of rhetoric and wit, showcasing his eloquence and intellectual prowess.Apuleius' literary contributions extend beyond his legal defenses. He wrote on a variety of subjects, including philosophy, natural history, and religion. His works reflect a deep engagement with the mystical and the metaphysical, often exploring themes of transformation and the divine.His influence on contemporary writers and later literary traditions is profound. Apuleius' exploration of the human psyche and the supernatural can be seen as a precursor to the magical realism genre. His blending of the mundane with the mystical has inspired countless authors, from the medieval period through to modern times.Championing revolutionary ideas, Apuleius delved into the nature of the soul, the power of the divine, and the potential for personal transformation. His works challenge readers to look beyond the surface of reality and consider the deeper, often hidden, forces at play in the world. In doing so, Apuleius remains a timeless figure whose writings continue to captivate and inspire.
