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.

impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book consists of nearly 200 anecdotal sayings taken from a range of ancient Greek authors, many of whom are not commonly taught in schools. These are not literal translations, and the author has sought to present each example concisely, in some instances even abbreviating the originals, in order to convey the essence of each saying in as few words as possible. The author's intention is to present a collection of entertaining and instructive stories that illuminate Greek wit, which the author characterizes as being allied to satire, and often cutting in nature. The reader is likely to find the sayings consistently humorous and thought-provoking, and the collection provides insights into the nature of ancient Greek humor, satire, and didactic storytelling. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334143403_0
