Paperback. Etat : Good. Behold: democracy in sandals. City of Sokrates ? An Introduction to Classical Athens (1998), by J. W. Roberts, published by Routledge (ISBN: 9780415167789), is your guided tour to a civilisation that invented philosophy, theatre, geometry ? and the peculiar habit of voting to ostracise people they found mildly annoying. This is Athens before it became a GCSE bullet point. Before marble ruins were airbrushed onto tote bags. Before Socrates was reduced to a quote on a motivational poster. Roberts takes you back to the noisy, argumentative, occasionally chaotic city-state where politics was a spectator sport and drama festivals were practically civic duty. Want to understand how a society that gave us Plato also sentenced Socrates to death? This is your book. Curious how democracy functioned when ?the people? did not include quite a lot of people? Also in here. Wondering how many festivals, sacrifices, lawsuits and public debates one city can cram into a calendar year? Strap in. Roberts writes with clarity and academic calm, guiding you through the Agora, the Assembly, the law courts, the temples and the back alleys of Classical Athens without making you feel like you need to recite Homer in the original Greek to keep up. It?s scholarly, yes ? Routledge does not deal in frivolity ? but it?s refreshingly readable. This is history that feels lived-in, not embalmed. Condition: Good. Which in academic terms means it has likely survived at least one undergraduate term. Perhaps a few pencilled notes in the margins (the modern equivalent of a Socratic dialogue). Possibly the faint echo of coffee-fuelled revision sessions. Structurally sound. Philosophically intact. There?s something quietly satisfying about a late-90s Routledge paperback. Solid spine. Serious typography. The reassuring sense that knowledge was still printed on paper with the expectation that you would turn actual pages rather than scroll abstractly through enlightenment. If you?re building a small library of civilisation ? or simply want to understand why Western political discourse has been argumentative for roughly 2,500 years ? this is a fine place to start. Available now from Crappy Old Books, where democracy thrives, philosophers are safe (mostly), and the only ostracism we practise is occasionally shelving things slightly out of order. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING.
