A propos de cet article

With 78 monochrome plates and 14 in colour. ***Near fine in colour-illustrated thin card wrappers. No inscriptions. Paper slightly tanned. Pages clean. No tears. Very light reading crease to the spine. Spine tight. 196mm x 112mm. 187 pages with an Appendix, Notes, Index and Publisher's Catalogue at the rear. ***Contents: Preface by Sir Mortimer Wheeler, Introduction, 1. Plato's account of Atlantis, 2. Atlantis and Minoan Crete, 3. Thera and its Volcano, 4. Excavations on Thera, 5. After-effects and memories of the Thera eruption. ***'In the fifteenth century BC, a volcanic eruption of exceptional violence occurred on the island of Thera (Santorin), 75 miles north of Crete. ***Did this mark the destruction of Atlantis, the story of which Plato gave to the world eleven centuries later? ***Was there ever, in fact, such an island as he described, the home of an advanced culture and the centre of a great empire? ***If so, where was it, when did its civilization flourish, and why did it disappear? Mr Luce, with the help of archaeologists, volcanologists, seismologists, and oceanographers, suggests the real truth. It is a double story - of a legend, Atlantis; and of a cataclysm.' (Quote from rear wrapper blurb). A nice copy of this well produced and illustrated first paperback edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
