A TREASURE: SUPERB: COLLECTIBLE: METACLASSIC: INDISPENSABLE: NEW hardcover, unstated First Edition (unstated 1st issue, a probable First but otherwise certainly a very early printing), NEW mylar-protected jacket w/ NEW gloss-laminated finish in fresh state & w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, NEW silk-finish black linen-over-boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners & titles elegantly silver-stamped on spine w/ the motif of a woman's funerary diadem (discovered in Schliemann's grave circle) platinum-stamped on front panel, immaculate text-bock exterior w/ smooth-cut top & bottom edges & cut-page-style side-edging, NEW sewn binding w/ tight signatures & red & gold cloth bands at spine-caps, superb unblemished oxblood-red on black swirl-wave-pattern end-papers on heavy stock, pristine interior beautifully printed on superb unblemished cream-white paper w/ line nos. shown at intervals of five at outside left & right margins * 7.36" x 9.24" x 1.36", 0.84 kg, viii+344 (352) pp. * CONTENTS: Foreword (v-vi), A Reading of the Oresteia: The Serpent & the Eagle (1-86), Aeschylus: The Oresteia: Agamemnon (pp. 87-172), The Libation Bearers (pp. 173-236), The Eumenides (pp. 237-293), The Genealogy of Orestes (294), Notes (pp. 295-338), Glossary (339-351) * Aeschylus' "Oresteia" (composed of 'Agamemnon', 'The Libation Bearers', & 'The Eumenides') is the only complete trilogy in Greek drama that has come down to us from antiquity, & its spirit of struggle & regeneration is eternal. Moving from darkness to light, from murder to justice, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to perfected institution, the "Oresteia" is nothing less than "our rite of passage from savagery to civilization." A truly modern translation of this masterpiece is presented in this splendidly produced edition w/ an eloquent extended introductory essay & notes by the translator Robert Fagles & W.B. Stanford. In his superb rendering of the text Robert Fagles has recreated the headlong, exhilarating power of Aeschylus' language & has vividly restored his vision: to be true to his belief that we will all triumph only if we recognize the Furies within ourselves &, by embracing them w/ compassion, transform them into a force that can invigorate society & benefit humanity. This translation of the "Oresteia" continues to be a cause of celebration for the common reader, the student, the specialist, & the actor. Here the work of Aeschylus comes to life as both drama & poetry in a version that can be studied, performed & experienced, a version that permits our generation to feel as close to the mind & splendors of 5th-century Athens as contemporary scholarship, poetic sensibility & passionate homage to one of literature's greatest geniuses can carry us. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "I have been reading the Fagles 'Oresteia' gratefully, with excited rummaging in the Greek text. The translation is in living English, & actable, but close to Aeschylus & never free, I feel, but in his behalf. One has the sweep of the trilogy interpreted in a consistent style, high but easy, folding in the colloquial where appropriate, rising to the occasion in visionary passages. The analyses, conjectures, & insights of the introduction are worthy of their subject. All in all, it's an impressive work." -Robert Fitzgerald; "The best translations, it strikes me, are like trees: they have their roots down deep in the original culture, but their tops glisten with the sun & rain of our own speech. This translation obviously belongs to that rare class." -Maynard Mack. N� de r�f. du vendeur 009334
