The Epic Gaze: Vision, Gender and Narrative in Ancient Epic
ISBN: 9781107016118 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The epic genre has at its heart fascination and horror at viewing death.

In Search of the Argonauts: The Remarkable History of Jason and the Golden Fleece
ISBN: 9781848857148 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Few classical stories are as romantic as that of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The stirring tale of an adventurer who was also a disenfranchised king's son and daring sea-captain has resonated through the ages, rumbling and echoing like the clashing rocks which almost pulverised the doughty Argo to splinters. The themes of the legend are perennial, and endlessly engaging. For even while it tells of a quest to the ends of the earth, of the villainous usurper King Pelias, of dragons' teeth, of the doom of Hylas (beloved friend to Heracles), ravished to his end by nymphs who greatly desired him...

ISBN: 9781350122215 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reception studies have transformed the classics.
