A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The ship in five minutes crosses the waters where a century ago was fought the battle ofT rafalger, which changed the destinies of Europe; and on a spot scarcely large enough for a garden the Greeks atM arathon won a victory which saved the liberties of Europe for all time. In this little book we are to sketch the panorama of the rise and evolution of a little land, the impress of whose institutions, literature, and art is to be found in every part of the civilized world. The world has special need to read to-day the story of this wonderful land, lest in these times of material glory we forget forget that the statue, the poem, and the things of the higher life shall outlast factories and fortunes. This is a little land, and so small as not to be considered by the concert of nations but the vigor and grace of its imperishable monuments compel all nations to sit at its feet. No liberal education is ever complete without knowing this land and absorbing from its culture. When planning for theB ay View students to spend a part of a year in Greece, wide search was made for a book that brought the past and the present in brief and delightful review, but none could be found.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
