A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

One thing long lacking in the English–speaking world has been the in–depth, full political narrative .This is what Errington′s book provides. The author has a sharp eye for intrigue, a gift for interpreting recalcitrant inscriptions, and a clear, brisk prose style. His command of the sources and the by now vast scholarship is masterly. As a result, his text will be equally invaluable a rare achievement–for students and fellow scholars. Highly recommended. ( Choice Reviews , December 2008) "The author, emeritus professor of ancient history at the University of Marburg, highlights the relationships between Greek city–states and Macedonian monarchies." ( Times Higher Education Supplement )

Quatrième de couverture :

A History of the Hellenistic World provides a new, authoritative account of the period following the reign of Alexander the Great. With clear narration and extensive documentation, the book explains the highly complex political history of the Hellenistic period.

The text thoroughly explores each region of the Hellenistic world, emphasizing the political metamorphosis of Greek society under the impact of Macedonian expansion. It highlights the evolving relationship between Greek city–states and the new monarchies, and traces the Macedonian roots of the creation of the Hellenistic world while examining the development of new non–Macedonian monarchies in Asia Minor.
