Ovid's sensuous and witty poetry brings together a dazzling array of mythological tales, ingeniously linked by the idea of transformation - often as a result of love or lust - where men and women find themselves magically changed into new and sometimes extraordinary beings. Beginning with the creation of the world and ending with the deification of Augustus, Ovid interweaves many of the best-known myths and legends of Ancient Greece and Rome, including Daedalus and Icarus, Pyramus and Thisbe, Pygmalion, Perseus and Andromeda, and the fall of Troy.

The Metamorphoses by Publius Ovidius Naso (43 B.C. - A.D. 17) has, over the centuries, been the most popular and influential work from our classical tradition. This extraordinary collection of some 250 Greek and Roman myths and folk tales has always been a popular favorite, and has decisively shaped western art and literature from the moment it was completed in A.D. 8. The stories are particularly vivid when read by David Horovitch, in this new lively verse translation by Ian Johnston.

Ovid’s Metamorphoses is an epic poem, but one that upturns almost every convention. There is no main hero, no central conflict, and no sustained objective. What it is about (power, defiance, art, love, abuse, grief, rape, war, beauty, and so on) is as changeable as the beings that inhabit its chapters. The sustained thread is power and how it transforms us, both those of us who have it and those of us who do not.

In the vast and silent library of antiquity, where countless works have turned to dust, a singular voice endures, vibrant and mischievous. That voice belongs to Lucius, the insatiably curious protagonist of The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, a work more commonly known as The Golden Ass. This novel stands as a remarkable artifact—the only complete ancient Roman novel in Latin to have survived the ravages of time, where similar works, like Petronius’s Satyricon, exist only in tantalizing fragments. This scarcity makes Apuleius’s work an invaluable window into the literary and cultural life ...

An undeniable masterpiece of Western Civilization, The Metamorphoses is a continuous narrative that covers all the Olympian legends, seamlessly moving from one story to another in a splendid panorama of savage beauty, charm, and wit. All of the gods and heroes familiar to us are represented. Such familiar legends as Hercules, Perseus and Medusa, Daedelus and Icarus, Diana and Actaeon, and many others, are breathtakingly recreated.

Lorsque Gregor Samsa aperçoit son corps recouvert d'une carapace et constate que des pattes lui ont poussé dans la nuit, il croit à un mauvais rêve et ne s'inquiète pas outre mesure. Pourtant, la métamorphose est bien réelle.

In 2024, one hundred years after his death at the age of forty, customers all over the world will reach for the works of Franz Kafka. Many of them will want to learn more about the enigmatic man behind the classic books. Who, exactly, was Franz Kafka? Karolina Watroba, the first Germanist ever elected as a fellow of Oxford's All Souls College, will tell Kafka's story beyond the boundaries of language, time, and space, traveling from the Prague of Kafka's birth through the work of contemporary writers in East Asia, whose award-winning novels are, in part, homages to the great man himself.

In the Metamorphoses Ovid retells stories from the Greek myths, arranging them in roughly chronological order, from the origins of the world to his own times. His charming and graceful versions, full of life and interest, express his humanist approach, his feeling for pathos, and his endless curiosity and delight in human affairs. Each tale involves a transformation of some kind, and the whole collection provided a potent source of motifs and images for later art, especially the paintings, sculpture, and verse of the Renaissance.

Plongez au cœur de l'océan et de ses légendes. La perspective de passer ce qui pourrait être son dernier été loin de chez elle n'enchante pas vraiment Perséphone. La jeune fille, atteinte d'une mystérieuse maladie qui l'affaiblit de jour en jour, se retrouve coincée dans le Finistère, chez une tante excentrique dont elle ignore tout. Elle qui n'avait jamais fait face à l'Océan se sent irrésistiblement attirée par cette immense étendue d'eau... Mais l'Océan regorge d'êtres mystiques tous plus dangereux les uns que les autres.

This tale of a man who, when tinkering with magic, becomes changed into an ass is one of the most entertaining and remarkable stories from classic Latin literature. It is funny, bawdy and completely approachable - but also shows life from the point of view of a beast of burden in the Roman Empire of the second century CE.

Vor etwa 2.000 Jahren starb Ovid. Wie kaum ein anderer prägte er die abendländische Kultur. In seinen "Metamorphosen" erzählt er von der Entstehung der Welt und des Menschen. In rund 250 Verwandlungssagen führt er durch die antike Mythologie bis in die Gegenwart des antiken Lesers. Es sind mythische Geschichten von Menschen oder Halbgöttern, die zu Pflanzen, Tieren und Sternbildern werden. Seine "Metamorphosen", geschrieben in Versen und in über 15 Stunden gelesen von Burgschauspieler Peter Simonischek, sind so fantasievoll wie fantastisch und regen immer wieder zu neuen Deutungen an.

La Métamorphose révèle une vérité méconnue, les conventions disparaissent, les masques tombent. Ce récit est un des plus pathétiques et des plus violents que Kafka ait écrits ; les effets en sont soulignés à l'encre rouge, les péripéties ébranlent les nerfs du lecteur. C'est l'histoire, excessivement répugnante, dit l'auteur, d'un homme qui se réveille changé en cancrelat. Cette transformation est un châtiment imaginaire que Kafka s'inflige.
