Responses to Oliver Stoneas Alexander: Film, History, and Cultural Studies
ISBN: 9780299232849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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. Alexander has been, over the course of two millennia since his death at the age of thirty-two, the central figure in histories, legends, songs, novels, biographies, and, most recently, films. In 2004 director Oliver Stone's epic film Alexander generated a renewed interest in Alexander the Great and his companions, surroundings, and accomplishments, but the critical...

ISBN: 9780521121729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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:...

Democracy: A Life
ISBN: 9780199837458 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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.

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. ...

Kosmos: Essays in Order, Conflict and Community in Classical Athens
ISBN: 9780521525930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 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.

Hellenistic and Roman Sparta: A Tale of Two Cities
ISBN: 9780415262774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this revised edition, Paul Cartledge and Antony Spawforth have taken account of contemporary 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. This attempts to challenge the conventional misperception of Spartan decline after the loss of her status as a great power on the battlefield in 371 BC. The book's focus on a frequently overlooked period should make it important not only for those interested specifically in Sparta, but also for all those concerned...
