Recenzje

Rich and rewarding...Informed throughout by a striking unity of method and outlook...A remarkably delicate ear for recurring themes and ideas, far beyond mere verbal echoes, distinguishes the entire book, as does a passionate concern with ethics....Here is the finest exegete of classical literature of his generation....This splendid collection will serve...as an inspiration far beyond the circle of those who knew and loved its author.
