ISBN: 9780299232849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The charismatic Alexander the Great of Macedon (356-323 B.C.E.) was one of the most successful military commanders in history, conquering Asia Minor, Egypt, Persia, central Asia, and the lands beyond as far as Pakistan and India.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The text of this inaugural lecture proposes that the newly established A. G. Leventis Professorship of Greek Culture is a new kind of chair: a chair not only for research but also for outreach, for the advancement of the public understanding of ancient Greek culture. After explaining its origins, and pondering the possible meanings of the Professorship's title, it seeks to explore four 'myths' about the ancient Greeks and their culture (or cultures), myths deliberately chosen to illustrate the huge range of the Hellenic tradition that is still actively at work in our own culture. These are:...

The Greeks: A Portrait of Self and Others
ISBN: 9780192803887 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Who were the Classical Greeks? This book provides an original and challenging answer by exploring how Greeks (adult, male, citizen) defined themselves in opposition to a whole series of others (non-Greeks, women, slaves, non-citizens, and gods) as presented by supposedly objective historians of the time such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon. Cartledge looks at the achievements and legacy of the Greeks - history, democracy, philosophy and theatre - and the mental and material contexts of these inventions which are often deeply alien to our own way of thinking and acting. This new edition...

Kosmos: Essays in Order, Conflict and Community in Classical Athens
ISBN: 9780521570817 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines how the various groups of people of which the polis of Classical Athens was composed got on together--or failed to do so. The authors collectively bring out what was distinctive about life in an ancient Greek city that was unusual both in its size and social complexity and in the extent of the democracy it practiced. The emphasis is broadly on the great success of the Athenians' communal experiment but tensions and fissures arising from religious, sexual, economic and political differences are not elided or glossed over.

Nomos: Essays in Athenian Law, Politics and Society
ISBN: 9780521522090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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...

In this new edition, Paul Cartledge and Antony Spawforth have taken account of recent finds and scholarship to revise and update their authoritative overview of later Spartan history, and of the social, political, economic and cultural changes in the Spartan community.

The book's focus on a frequently overlooked period makes it important not only for those interested specifically in...

Democracy: A Life
ISBN: 9780199837458 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ancient Greece first coined the concept of "democracy," yet almost every major ancient Greek thinker-from Plato and Aristotle onwards- was ambivalent towards or even hostile to democracy in any form. The explanation for this is quite simple: the elite perceived majority power as tantamount to a dictatorship of the proletariat. In ancient Greece there can be traced not only the rudiments of modern democratic society but the entire Western tradition of anti-democratic thought. In Democracy, Paul Cartledge provides a detailed history of this ancient political system. In addition, by...

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,...

The cultural wealth of the classical Greek world was matched by its material wealth, and there is abundant textual and archaeological evidence for both. However, radically different theoretical and methodological approaches have been used to interpret this evidence, and conflicts continue to rage as these different starting points produce clashing views on the significance and distribution of money, labour and land.
