Sumptuously illustrated in colour and packed with fascinating information, The Cambridge Illustrated History of Ancient Greece is now available for the first time in a revised paperback edition. Offering fresh interpretations of classical Greek culture, the book devotes as much attention to social, economic, sexual and intellectual aspects as to politics and war. Paul Cartledge and his team ask what it was like for an ordinary person to partake in 'the glory that was Greece'. They examine the influences of the environment and economy; the effect of interstate tensions; the implications of sexuality; the experience of workers, soldiers, slaves, peasants and women; and the roles of myth and religion, art and culture, and science and education. This is a cultural history which reveals the far-reaching linguistic, literary, artistic and political legacy of ancient Greece, and seeks justification for Shelley's claim that 'we are all Greeks'.… (more)

Síte do livro: http://www.greciaantigaolivro.com.br

Suponhamos que pudéssemos reservar uma passagem na máquina do tempo que nos transportasse para a Grécia antiga no século V a.C. Ali, só em Atenas, poderíamos ter encontrado Ésquilo, Alcibíades, Aristófanes, Heródoto, Platão, Sócrates, Sófocles, Tucídides e Xenofonte, para citar alguns. Todos eles contribuíram de algum modo para a enorme energia liberada por esse pequeno caldeirão de cultura e política que gerou os alicerces políticos, artísticos, culturais, educacionais, filosóficos e científicos em que se baseia boa parte da civilização e da cultura do Ocidente. Dos primeiros democratas à primeira pessoa a propor a teoria dos átomos (há cerca de 2.500 anos), o impacto da Grécia antiga foi profundo.

Mas, para uma pessoa comum, o que representa participar da “glória que foi a Grécia”? Assistir à construção do Partenon? Trabalhar nas minas, no comércio ou em manufaturas? Este livro não só examina a grandeza da Grécia antiga, mas indaga o que significava ser um cidadão grego plenamente emancipado em uma democracia; ou ser a esposa não emancipada deste cidadão; ou ser um escravo não grego; ou, ainda, um agricultor, ou um negociante. É uma fascinante viagem ao passado, aos primórdios da civilização.

Ricamente ilustrado e escrito por nove especialistas da Grã-Bretanha e da América do Norte, este livro oferece novas interpretações da cultura grega clássica, devotando a mesma atenção aos aspectos sociais, econômicos e intelectuais que à política e à guerra. É uma história cultural do início ao fim, que almeja situar a grandeza da Grécia em seu contexto mais amplo, avaliando as influências do meio ambiente e da economia, o efeito das tensões entre estados, as implicações da sexualidade, a experiência de trabalhadores, soldados, escravos, camponeses e mulheres, bem como os papéis do mito e da religião, da arte e da cultura, da ciência e da educação. Nesse contexto, Paul Cartledge e sua equipe examinam o vasto legado linguístico, literário, artístico e político da Grécia antiga.

“De fato, tudo o que é moderno em nossas vidas devemos aos gregos. Tudo o que é anacrônico deve-se ao medievalismo.”
Oscar Wilde ( )
