The Ionian Islands: Aspects of Their History and Culture
ISBN: 9781443858250 / Angielski / Twarda / 477 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Ionian Islands stretch south from the Adriatic, where Corfu's Pantokrator mountain overlooks Albania across narrow straits, along the western coast of mainland Greece through Paxi, Kephalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada and Zakynthos, to Kythira, midway between Athens and Crete. Three crucial sea-battles were fought here - Sybota (the first recorded), Actium and Lepanto - an indication of the Ionians' role as an East-West crossroads, between Western Christendom and the Orthodox and Islamic East.Ruled by Venice in her Stato da Mar (sea-empire), the islands became an independent state, as the...

The Muslim Bonaparte: Diplomacy and Orientalism in Ali Pasha's Greece
ISBN: 9780691601823 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ali Pasha of Ioannina (?1750-1822), the Ottoman-appointed governor of the northern mainland of Greece, was a towering figure in Ottoman, Greek, and European history. Based on an array of literatures, paintings, and musical scores, this is the first English-language critical biography about him in recent decades. K. E. Fleming shows that the British and French diplomatic experience of Ali was at odds with the "orientalist" literatures that he inspired. Dubbed by Byron the "Muslim Bonaparte," Ali enjoyed a position of diplomatic strength in the eastern Adriatic; in his attempt to secede from...

ISBN: 9781500500184 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In March 1947, the United States established an economic and military assistance program to bolster the nationalist Greek government against a communist insurgency.

The Franks in the Aegean: 1204-1500
ISBN: 9781138836327 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the enormous literature on the crusades, the Frankish states in the Aegean (set up in the wake of the Fourth Crusade in 1204) have been seriously neglected by modern historians. Yet their history is both compelling in itself - these were the last crusader states to be set up in the eastern Mediterranean and among the last to fall to the Turks - and also valuable for the case study they offer in medieval colonialism. Peter Lock surveys the social, economic, religious and cultural aspects of the region within a broad political framework, and explores the clash of cultures between the...

The Greek Civil War
ISBN: 9781138836426 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Greek Civil War (1943--50) was a major conflict in its own right, developing out of the rivalry between communist and conservative partisans for control of Greece as the Axis forces retreated at the end of the Second World War. Spanning the transition from World War to Cold War, it also had major international consequences in keeping Greece (alone of all the Balkan nations) out of the Communist bloc and stopping the Soviets reaching the Mediterranean. Yet it has received less attention than it deserves from historians. In this striking and original study, David Close does justice to both...

Late Antiquity on the Eve of Islam
ISBN: 9781409400707 / Angielski / Twarda / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume reflects the huge upsurge of interest in the Near East and early Islam currently taking place among historians of late antiquity. At the same time, Islamicists and Qur'anic scholars are also increasingly seeking to place the life of Muhammad and the Qur'an in a late antique background. Averil Cameron, herself one of the leading scholars of late antiquity and Byzantium, has chosen eleven key articles that together give a rounded picture of the most important trends in late antique scholarship over the last decades, and provide a coherent context for the emergence of the new...

Les Perses
ISBN: 9782930718590 / Francuski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cette tragedie fut ecrite apres les victoires grecques de Salamine et de Platee (Eschyle ayant participe a la premiere).
Si ces echecs militaires n'atteignaient pas reellement l'Empire perse, l'annee 480 av. J.-C. fut vecue par les Grecs comme la victoire d'un peuple moins nombreux, mais libre, contre un grand empire; de l' Occident hellenique contre le barbare oriental. Il s'agit de la seule tragedie grecque a sujet historique qui ait subsiste." Cette tragedie fut ecrite apres les victoires grecques de Salamine et de Platee (Eschyle ayant participe a la premiere).

Dreaming in Byzantium and Beyond
ISBN: 9781409400554 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the actual dreaming experience of the Byzantines lies beyond our reach, the remarkable number of dream narratives in the surviving sources of the period attests to the cardinal function of dreams as vehicles of meaning, and thus affords modern scholars access to the wider cultural fabric of symbolic representations of the Byzantine world. Whether recounting real or invented dreams, the narratives serve various purposes, such as political and religious agendas, personal aspirations or simply an author s display of literary skill. It is only in recent years that Byzantine dreaming has...

Alexander the Great: The Dissolution of the Persian Naval Supremacy 334-331 B.C.
ISBN: 9781500122973 / Grecki / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book deals with the naval battles between the Persian fleet and Alexander the Great and his Macedonians in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean between 334-331 BC. It covers the siege of Tyre and in addition the failed efforts by the Persians and King Agis III of Sparta to create turmoil at the rear of Alexander's army. This very important aspect of Alexander's campaign to the East did not receive as yet the coverage it deserves mainly because of the limited personal involvement of Alexander himself. Nevertheless should the Persians being successful and cut Alexander's resupply routes...

The Emperor Theophilos and the East, 829-842: Court and Frontier in Byzantium During the Last Phase of Iconoclasm
ISBN: 9780754664895 / Angielski / Twarda / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern historiography has become accustomed to portraying the emperor Theophilos of Byzantium (829-842) in a favourable light, taking at face value the legendary account that makes of him a righteous and learned ruler, and excusing as ill fortune his apparent military failures against the Muslims. The present book considers events of the period that are crucial to our understanding of the reign and argues for a more balanced assessment of it. The focus lies on the impact of Oriental politics on the reign of Theophilos, the last iconoclast emperor. After introductory chapters, setting out the...

The period of Ottoman rule in Greek history has undergone a dramatic reassessment in recent years. Long reviled as four hundred years of unrelieved slavery and barbarity under 'the Turkish yoke', a new generation of scholars, based mainly but not exclusively in Greece, is rejecting this monochromatic view in favour of a more nuanced picture of the Greek experience in the Ottoman Empire.
This volume considers this new scholarship, most of it in Greek, and makes it accessible for the first time to a wider audience. Molly Greene also discusses the changing views of the Ottoman Empire more... The period of Ottoman rule in Greek history has undergone a dramatic reassessment in recent years.
