Late Antique Corinth was on the frontline of the radical religious, political and economic transformations that swept the Mediterranean world from the second to sixth centuries after Christ.

Yet during that era, Corinth was always considered a city-a...

Symposium
ISBN: 9781539897446 / Angielski / Miękka / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Symposium is a philosophical text by Plato dated c. 385-370 BC. It concerns itself at one level with the genesis, purpose and nature of love, and (in latter-day interpretations) is the origin of the concept of Platonic love. Love is examined in a sequence of speeches by men attending a symposium, or drinking party. Each man must deliver an encomium, a speech in praise of Love (Eros). The party takes place at the house of the tragedian Agathon in Athens. Socrates in his speech asserts that the highest purpose of love is to become a philosopher or, literally, a lover of wisdom. Commonly...

ISBN: 9781540741288 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The oracle of Delphi, the sacred abode of the raving prophetess, the Pythia, was for centuries one of the most celebrated and influential religious centers in the ancient Greek world. There, the magnificent temple of Apollo was not only gilded in riches of gold and bronze but also in the jewels of everlasting wisdom: the Delphic Admonitions. These were brief "catchphrases" conveying moral, philosophical and even practical teachings, inscribed on pillars around the temple. They were attributed to the Seven Sages of antiquity, a group of philosophers who laid the cornerstone in the edifice of...

Le brigandage en Grèce
ISBN: 9781540769671 / Francuski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " Le drame de Marathon a provoque en Europe et surtout en Angleterre un tel mouvement d'horreur, une explosion de sentiments si violents et si contradictoires, qu'il importe de presenter au public une appreciation equitable et raisonnee des faits. Plus interesse que personne a distinguer le vrai du faux dans cette question, je me suis efforce de l'etudier avec calme, sans parti-pris. J'ai cherche principalement a me placer au-dessus des opinions passionnees que les circonstances ont fait naitre, et qu'elles semblaient ne justifier que trop. Il s'agit moins aujourd'hui de tirer vengeance du...

Mycènes et ses trésors
ISBN: 9781541008953 / Francuski / Miękka / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " ... Il y a quelques annees, lorsque nous avons visite Mycenes, les fouilles de M. Schliemann n'en avaient pas encore popularise le nom; mais les touristes amateurs de l'antiquite n'auraient pas voulu passer en Grece sans y faire un pelerinage. La voie de mer est celle que l'on suit habituellement pour aller d'Athenes en Argolide. On s'embarque au Piree, ou mouillent, parmi les tartanes et les sacoleves, quelques steamers de la compagnie hellenique de navigation. Celui qui ne connait que l'Atlantique ou la Manche, aux horizons brumeux et ternes, aux rives pales de sable ou de craie, ne peut...

From Pyrrhus to Cyprus Forgotten and Remembered Hellenic Kingdoms, Territories, Entities & a Fiefdom

One of the world's leading radical philosophers analyses the failure of the Syriza experience in Greece In a series of seven trenchant interventions Alain Badiou analyses the decisive developments in Greece since 2011. Badiou considers this Mediterranean country "a sort of open-air political lesson," with much to tell us about the wider situation.

Notwithstanding...

Trojan Horse: How the Greeks Won the Trojan War
ISBN: 9781530661282 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of the Trojan War, fought between Greeks and the defenders of the city of Troy in Anatolia sometime in the late Bronze Age, has grabbed the imagination for millennia. A conflict between Mycenaeans and Hittites may well have occurred, but its representation in epic literature such as Homer's Iliad is almost certainly more myth than reality. Nevertheless, it has defined and shaped the way ancient Greek culture has been viewed right up to the 21st century CE. The story of gods and heroic warriors is perhaps one of the richest single surviving sources from antiquity and offers insights...

ISBN: 9781522715702 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ancient Greeks believed there were a great number of gods and goddesses. These gods had control over many different aspects of life on earth. In many ways they were very human. They could be kind or mean, angry or pleasant, cruel or loving.

Greece in Crisis: The Cultural Politics of Austerity
ISBN: 9781784538453 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 2010 Greece has been experiencing the longest period of austerity and economic downturn in its recent history. Economic changes may be happening more rapidly and be more visible than the cultural effects of the crisis which are likely to take longer to become visible, however in in recent times, both at home and abroad, the Greek arts scene has been discussed mainly in terms of the crisis. While there is no shortage of accounts of Greece's economic crisis by financial and political analysts, the cultural impact of austerity has yet to be properly addressed. This book analyses hitherto...
