Adams Mark
Meet Me in Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City
New York: Dutton 2015 A few years ago Mark Adams made a strange discovery: Far from alien conspiracy theories and other pop culture myths everything we know about the legendary lost city of Atlantis comes from the work of one man the Greek philosopher Plato. Stranger still: Adams learned there is an entire global sub-culture of amateur explorers who are still actively and obsessively searching for this sunken city based entirely on Plato's detailed clues. What Adams didn't realize was that Atlantis is kind of like a virus and he'd been exposed. In Meet Me in Atlantis Adams racks up frequent-flier miles tracking down these Atlantis obsessives trying to determine why they believe it's possible to find the world's most famous lost cityand whether any of their theories could prove or disprove its existence. The result is a classic quest that takes readers to fascinating locations to meet irresistible characters; and a deep often humorous look at the human longing to rediscover a lost world. 306p. bibliography. index. 1st US Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Dutton hardcover

Alan Aldridgeborn in AylesburyBuckinghamshireand active from c.1967.Attended Romford Technical College but left at 15 and supported himself with an assortment of jobs including insurance clerkrepertory actordock hand and barrow boy.In 1963he took a short evening course in commercial graphics. Soon he had achieved spectacular success with designs for postersbook coversrecord sleevescar furniture and body paintingas well as magazine and book illustration.In 1966he was appointed art director of Penguin Booksbut left in 1968 to set up his own studioInkwhich received commissions from many of the leading pop groups and glossy magazines of the dayincluding the Beatle's ill-fated Apple Corps.As Aldridge's career embodied many of the aspirations of the 'swinging sixties'so his drawings epitomised the graphic idiom of the decade.His use of brilliant 'psychedelic' colours in combination with ebulliently decorative draughtsmanship gave his work the vigorous popular appeal of fairground art;but he used this apparently unsophisticated language to convey ideas of almost surrealistic complexityabounding in visual ambiguitiesallusions and jokes.Stylistically his most influential innovation was his use of the airbrush for fine colour gradation and shading over much of the picture surfacegiving the illusion of undulating movement within the crisp contours.As his draughtsmanship developedhe increasingly incorporated graphic references to cultural traditions as diverse as oriental painting and pre-Columbian artwhile his imagery continued to invite closer and more intense scrutiny.After disbanding InkAldridge continued to work freelancefinding a regular publisher in Jonathan Cape.In 1974he won the Children's Book of the Year Award with 'Butterfly Ball'; more recently he has designed animated films.He has also illustrated periodicals as diverse as Harper's Nova The Queen The Sunday Times Vogue and Woman's Mirror.

Aeschylus; Mark Griffith Ed.
AESCHYLUS: PROMETHEUS BOUND
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1983. Softcover. 0521270111 . Spine creased. Textblock foxed. Pages lightly tanned. Light foxing to endpapers. Laminate lifting to top edge of front wrap. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 328 pages; The myth of fire stolen from the gods appears in many pre-industrial societies. In Greek culture Prometheus the fire-stealer figures prominently in the poems of Hesiod but in Prometheus Bound Hesiod's morality tale has been transformed into a drama of tragic tone and proportions. In the introduction Mark Griffith examines how the dramatist has achieved this transformation looking at the play from all angles - plot and characters dramatic technique style and metre. He includes a short section on the production of the play and on the questions of authenticity and date. The commentary guides the reader through problems of language metre and content. An important feature of this volume is the appendix which gathers together the existing fragments of the other two plays in the supposed Prometheus trilogy quoting them in full in the original language and in translation with short accompanying commentary. This is suitable for undergraduates and students in the upper forms of schools. It also deserves the serious attention of scholars. The introduction requires no knowledge of Greek and will interest students of drama and literature in other cultures too. . Cambridge University Press paperback

Aesop; Phadrus, Gaius Julius
PHAEDRI AUGUSTI LIBETI FABULAE. Ad Manuscriptos Codices & optimam quamque Editionem emendavit, Steph. And. Philippe. Accesserunt Notae ad calcem.
pp. xlviij, 305 + Engraved Frontis. Fine headpieces and tail pieces engraved by Fessard, Sornique, and others. Foxed. 12mo. Disbound. All edges gold gilt. Brunet V/1788; Cohen 798. Gaius Julius Phadrus (1st century), was a Thracian slave who translated Aesop's fables into Latin verse. He was certainly more than a reproducer of Aesop, and can be credited with adding many fables of his own. A brief history of the Barbou Classics is given by Schweiger (II 1269). In 1742 Lenglet de Fresnoy persuaded Coustelier to start a series which was meant to be a French rival to the Elzeviers - even surpassing them in terms of scholarship and typography. Though this effort soon exhausted itself, it was revived by Jean Joseph Barbou in 1753. Seven of these attractive little books appeared in 1753-1755, and though there were more issued in the next decade, there was not enough market interest to support a sustained publishing program. They still stand as a monument to French scholarship and typography. This copy is priced low enough to allow for a nice new binding. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 5

Albertson Fred C.
MARS AND RHEA SILVIA IN ROMAN ART
Latomus. Fine. 2012. Softcover. 2870312776 . Among the stories surrounding the legendary foundation of the city of Rome by the twins Romulus and Remus previous scholarly attention has focused primarily on one scene � the depiction of the she-wolf nursing the twins following their miraculous salvation from the floodwaters of the Tiber. This book examines another event in the cycle the conception of the twins in which the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia is visited in her sleep and raped by the god Mars. Some fifty-one examples of the encounter of Mars and Rhea Silvia are analyzed drawn from coins relief sculpture gems wall painting mosaics and pottery covering a time frame from the motif�s origin in the early 1st century B. C. To its disappearance in the late 4th century A. D. An analysis of the scene's iconographical evolution and its documented periods of popularity both in the public and private sphere are associated with contemporary trends in Roman literature religion and art. This monograph on the representation of Mars and Rhea Silvia is not simply a self-contained study of a single motif over a specific time frame. Within the realm of Roman art the book discusses larger issues concerning the relationship between art myth and religion and political propaganda drawing from methodologies of appropriation Kopienkritik word and image semiotics and memory culture. As such the book constitutes a case study whose conclusions may serve as guidelines for the study of Roman art in general. ; Collection Latomus Volume 336; 241 pages . Latomus paperback

'The Arabian Nights' is a classic collection of popular stories from ArabiaIndia and Persia.They recreate a fabulous and fanciful world of sorcererssages and Jinnisbut also of ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations. In this selection Brian Alderson strips the stories of their archaic prose andin the best tradition of European folk tales reveals an intimate and colloquial version of the tales.It is a classic retelling which includes the most famous and delightful of Sheherezade's enduring stories: 'Sinbad the Sailor''Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' and 'Aladdin'. Faithful to their Eastern originsthe author presents them in a form ideally suited for reading aloud. Michael Foreman's stunning illustrations and embellishments retain all the excitement and mysticism of the original tales.

Rabe Fuchs Und Lowe
Germany: Ehrenwirth 1965. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Uncertain. Handsome straight copy medium yellow boards are vivid. Text and publication data in German so little I can say. Charming illustrations throughout seems to be of a fable/folklore/fairytale type. White jacket is crisp and bright with the odd short tear in mylar wrapper. We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. We assure the buyer that books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described using the strict traditional standards. Ehrenwirth Hardcover
