The Ass of the Gods: Apuleius' Golden Ass, the Onos Attributed to Lucian, and Graeco-Roman Metamorphosis Literature
Apuleius’ Golden Ass and the Lucianic Loukios, or the Ass depend on and play with readers’ familiarity with the clear patterns of Greek and Roman stories of metamorphosis. The formulaic nature of these stories suggests that the appearance of a god at the end of the Golden Ass is unsurprising and that the end of the Loukios is more innovative. This context also sheds new light on the function of the Cupid and Psyche story, the meaning of these works’ titles, and the lost Metamorphoseis on which they are both based and of which the Golden Ass is a translation.

Os Órfãos do Führer
Numa área industrial da cidade de Munique, durante a guerra, 27 crianças sozinhas, esfomeadas e amedrontadas escondem-se da Gestapo. Os pais foram mandados para campos de concentração e elas não têm para onde ir. Claudia Kellner, uma professora, descobre o grupo numa altura em que abriga em sua casa duas vítimas do regime que não têm para onde ir, arriscando a própria segurança para as proteger. Entretanto, Peter Chesham, um espião britânico, consegue introduzir-se no território do Terceiro Reich com uma missão ultrassecreta. No entanto, esta missão é posta em risco quando ele próprio descobre o lugar onde se escondem os órfãos. Se não abdicar da sua missão, esta acabará por ter consequências fatais para todos os que o rodeiam, mas se o fizer a Alemanha nazi poderá ganhar a guerra. Peter enfrenta por isso um dilema dilacerante: obedecer às ordens ou salvar as crianças. Acabará Peter por dirigir a operação de salvamento ou levará a cabo a missão com que saiu de Inglaterra? O que escolher poderá decidir o futuro da Europa.
