Caves and the Ancient Greek Mind analyses techniques of searching for ultimate wisdom in ancient Greece.

A prime question explored is the extent to which these disparate sources complement or contradict each other. State-imposed transactions were often recorded with an ideological bias, much dependent on whether the donors and recipients were viewed as in- or outsiders. The present...

ISBN: 9780521862813 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Asceticism deploys abstention, self-control, and self-denial, to order oneself or a community in relation to the divine. Both its practices and the cultural ideals they expressed were important to pagans, Jews, Christians of different kinds, and Manichees. Richard Finn presents for the first time a combined study of the major ascetic traditions, which have been previously misunderstood by being studied separately. He examines how people abstained from food, drink, sexual relations, sleep, and wealth; what they meant by their behaviour; and how they influenced others in the Graeco-Roman world....

Saddling the Dogs : Journeys Through Egypt and the Near East
ISBN: 9781842173671 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The majority of the papers collected here were delivered at ASTENE's VII Biennial Conference, held at the University of Southampton in July 2007. They cover a range of journeys in Egypt, Greece and east as far as Persia and are linked by the light they shed on the experience of travel in these regions from the 17th to the early 20th century. It is not so much what was seen that is assessed here but how one got there and how one got around once arrived; the vicissitudes and travails, both expected and strange, that characterized the passage.
