A propos de cet article

Farrar Straus Giroux, 2005. Trade Paperback As New. Jacket art: Warrior (detail) from the sea off Riace, c. 360-450 b.c.e., bronze. Glossy, clean, unmarked wrappers; tight, solid, square binding. Internals pristine. Content: "Songs on Bronze originated from the desire to fashion a single, organic narrative of as much Greek mythology as most people might want or need to know. his means a less than comprehensive work. Not every tale of the ancient Greek repertoire has been included here. Some stories ? such as the saga of the Seven Against Thebes ? are much abbreviated. I wanted this book to be a fluent read, not an unrelenting inventory of names, places, and atrocious events . As for pursuing any historical 'reality' behind the war at Troy, or plotting the precise route taken by the Argonauts, I have gone no further than to weave in some incidental details derived from Bronze Age archaeology. If myths were bound by time and place, then they would not be myths. Nevertheless, I have tried above all to visualize how legends were formed, to convey the marvelous immediacy of these ancient story lines." 8vo. 255 pages. 2005, Farrar Straus Giroux.…

Books have been one of the major loves of my life so to develop a home online bookshop when my children are all grown and with families that extend our whole family, seemed the natural thing for me to do. My BookShop has many, many selections of all kinds, with emphasis on history, literature, classical works, modern classic fiction,biography and unique books. Also look in my shop for children's books, books about the sciences, art, spirituality, religion--look for whatever you want! I love books and reading and I hope you do too. Your reading enjoyment is my goal.…
