Five Scrolls for All Times: Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther
ISBN: 9781635280210 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. I love digging into parts of the Bible that are underexplored. As an archaeological excavation can uncover layer upon layer of ancient civilizations hiding just beneath the earth's surface, so the trowel of careful study and exegesis can unearth layers of meaning that have long been overlooked. So it is with the five brief biblical books we will study in this volume. The book of Ruth is familiar to many Christians as a story of love and devotion--but not for its deeper significance. Esther is a lesser known heroine whose story is more convoluted and troubling than it appears. The... I love digging into parts of the Bible that are underexplored.

Thermopylae: The Battle That Changed the World
ISBN: 9781400079186 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 480 B.C., the mighty Persian king Xerxes led a massive force to the narrow mountain pass called Thermopylae, anticipating no significant resistance in his bid to conquer Greece. But the Greeks, led by Leonidas and a small army of Spartan warriors, took the battle to the Persians and nearly halted their advance. Paul Cartledge's riveting, authoritative account of King Leonidas and the legendary 300 illuminates this valiant endeavor that changed the way future generations would think about combat, courage, and death.

After Thermopylae: The Oath of Plataea and the End of the Graeco-Persian Wars
ISBN: 9780199747320 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Battle of Plataea in 479 BCE is one of world history's unjustly neglected events. It decisively ended the threat of a Persian conquest of Greece. It involved tens of thousands of combatants, including the largest number of Greeks ever brought together in a common cause. For the Spartans, the driving force behind the Greek victory, the battle was sweet vengeance for their defeat at Thermopylae the year before. Why has this pivotal battle been so overlooked?
In After Thermopylae, Paul Cartledge masterfully reopens one of the great puzzles of ancient Greece to discover, as much... The Battle of Plataea in 479 BCE is one of world history's unjustly neglected events. It decisively ended the threat of a Persian conquest of Greece. ...

Ancient Greek Political Thought in Practice
ISBN: 9780521455954 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ancient Greece was a place of tremendous political experiment and innovation, and it was here too that the first serious political thinkers emerged. Using carefully selected case-studies, in this book Professor Cartledge investigates the dynamic interaction between ancient Greek political thought and practice from early historic times to the early Roman Empire. Of concern throughout are three major issues: first, the relationship of political thought and practice; second, the relevance of class and status to explaining political behaviour and thinking; third, democracy - its invention,...

ISBN: 9780415510554 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The cultural wealth of the classical Greek world was matched by its material wealth, and there is abundant textual and archaeological evidence for both.

Money, Labour and Land reflects the current explosion in ideas and research by assembling case-studies from an international selection of renowned US, British and...

Nomos: Essays in Athenian Law, Politics and Society
ISBN: 9780521522090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The relationship between law, politics and society in democratic Athens is a central but neglected aspect of ancient Greek history that is beginning to attract increasing interest. Nomos brings together ten essays by a group of British and American scholars who aim to explore ways in which Athenian legal texts can be read in their social and cultural context. The focus is on classical Athens, since that is where the evidence is fullest, but the range of sources examined is broad, including the whole spectrum of literary and epigraphical texts, with special reference to the corpus of Athenian...
