"De verlieude ezel" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book blends elements of adventure and fantasy, following the character Charmides, a young son of a wealthy merchant who finds himself embroiled in peculiar happenings, including transformations and enchantments, as he travels through ancient landscapes. The story delves into themes of love and metamorphosis interspersed with a playful tone reminiscent of classical tales. The opening of the novel introduces Charmides, who is tasked by his father to embark on a trading journey to Thessaly. This journey is not merely a business venture; Charmides is deeply enamored with the notion of love and is thus distracted by romantic thoughts, which leads him to encounters with enchanting figures. Through his adventures, he comes across warnings about witches and magical transformations, ultimately culminating in a comic curse that transforms him into a donkey due to his incessant infatuations. The vivid descriptions of ancient locales, whimsical characters, and Charmides' romantic aspirations set the stage for a fantastical tale steeped in humor and mythological references.
