Was ist Gotik? Eine Analyse der gotischen Kirchen in Frankreich, England und Deutschland 1140-1350. Mit Farbfotos von Uwe Dettmar.
Sehr gutes Ex. - ... Der Autor bietet eine umfassende und durchwegs angemessene Beurteilung der Bauleistung jener Zeit, denn er beschreibt die architektonischen Kunstwerke nicht nur formal und stilistisch, sondern bezieht auch die geistesgeschichtlichen, politischen, ökonomischen und technischen Grundlagen in seine Überlegungen mit ein. So wird deutlich, wie erst das Zusammenwirken einer Vielzahl untrennbar miteinander verbundener Faktoren ein bestimmtes, individuell gestaltetes Bauwerk entstehen läßt. ...

Birley Anthony
HADRIAN The Restless Emperor
Routledge. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 041516544X . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Roman Imperial Biographies; 1.23 x 9.54 x 6.45 Inches; 399 pages; In Hadrian Anthony R. Birley brilliantly uses new evidence to chronicle the fascinating life of a man who while broken and hated at his death nevertheless left an indelible stamp on the Roman Empire. Birley shows how Hadrian brazenly abandoned his predecessor Trajan's eastern conquests constructed new demarcation lines in Germany North Africa and most famously Hadrian's Wall in Britain to limit the expansion of the Empire. Hadrian portrayed himself as a second Augustus and unlike most Roman emperors acted rather than reacted. He promoted the "Greek Renaissance" extravagantly but his attempt to Hellenize the Jews had disastrous consequences. Birley also explores Hadrian's dramatic personal life including his tragic love affair with the young Antinous whose death in the Nile caused speculation of suicide and even sacrifice. .
