WHELER, George Esq.
A Journey Into Greece, By George Wheler Esq.; In Company of Dr. Spon of Lyons...
In -4°, pp. (14), 4 tavv., 483, b, cb., numerose illustrazioni nel testo e 1 tav. ripiegata ft che raduna tre illustrazioni da separare e inserire (a cura del legatore) nelle pagine di riferimento. Manca la carta del viaggio ripiegata. Mezza pelle e carta marmorizzata. Nel testo le incisioni sono di carattere botanico, storico, artistico, zoologico e topografico. Il libro di Wheler, per molti anni, rimase l’opera inglese di riferimento per i viaggi in Grecia, sebbene curiosamente non sia mai stato ristampato. The folding map is missing, for the rest a nice copy of this book that was for years the english reference guide for travellers to Greece.

STYLE AND SOCIETY IN DARK AGE GREECE The Changing Face of a Pre-literate Society 1100-700 BC
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0521373832 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; In this innovative study James Whitley examines the relationship between the development of pot style and social changes in the Dark Age of Greece 1100-700 BC. He focuses on Athens where the Protogeometric and Geometric styles first appeared. He considers pot shape and painted decoration primarily in relation to the other relevant features - metal artefacts grave architecture funerary rites and the age and sex of the deceased - and also takes into account different contexts in which these shapes and decorations appear. A computer analysis of grave assemblages supports his view that pot style is an integral part of the collective representations of Early Athenian society. It is a lens through which we can focus on the changing social circumstances of Dark Age Greece. Dr Whitley's approach to the study of style challenges many of the assumptions which have underpinned more traditional studies of Early Greek art. ; New Studies in Archaeology; 10.25 x 1 x 7.5 Inches; 245 pages .

Black Amber
New York: Fawcett Crest 1964 Novel of romantic suspense set in Istanbul Turkey "To Tracy Hubbard at home in New York a masquerade had seemed the only possible way to track down the answer to a tragedy for which she felt partly responsible. But now that she was in Istanbul an impostor in the exotic household of Sylvana Erim Tracy was baffled and alarmed by a series of mystifying events and drawn in spite of herself into a whirlpool of conspiracy and intrigue.In the abandoned ruins of a palace she overhears a heated argument in Turkish-the only word she can understand is her own name. She watches a small unlighted boat pay a nocturnal visit to the dock of the villa's garden. Unknown hands mark a disturbing passage in a book with a string of black amber beads. She has come here as an assistant to Miles Radburn the well-known artist. Radburn appears to hold the answers to several life or death questions. Is he suffering grief over the death of his young wife or is he responsible for some loathsome secret that lies hidden in the past Tracy finds it requires all her own stubborn defiance to resist this violent man who can at times be so strangely tender. There is no one she can trust in the hostile and enigmatic household. Suddenly Tracy realizes that she knows too much and that her very life is in danger. Reprint. Pbk. Good. Fawcett Crest paperback

Whitney,Phyllis
Seven Tears for Apollo
The setting is the Greek island of Rhodes, to which Dorcas Brandt flees in hope of escaping the strange incidents that have beset her since the death of her husband, Gino, in an airplane crash. She suspects that those who worked with Gino in his mysterious and illicit art dealings believe her to possess some knowledge which they must acquire at all costs. In Rhodes, with its ancient Greek ruins and medieval fortresses, Dorcas feels that she and her small daughter will surely find safety. Her hopes are frustrated, for on the island singular happenings dog her steps. The strange woman who comes to care for the child watches Dorcas with hostile eyes. Marks of warning are scrawled on a balcony. The symbol of an owl surprises her in circumstances that terrify. The promise of new love is threatened. As imminent danger to the little girl becomes apparent, Dorcas's very sanity seems to hang in the balance. On the acropolis of Lindos, where sheer cliffs plunge to the Aegean, the unknown comes into the open, and the forces of good and evil are meshed in final dramatic struggle.Fine except for remainder maek Book

Greek and Roman slavery
There has not been any previous collection of relevant ancient sources in a form suitable for students or specialists in disciplines such as Modern or Social and Economic History unfamiliar with the classical languages - indeed, there does not even exist such a collection for specialists in Classics. -- This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modern scholarship constantly refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. -- Cross-references, Bibliography, and a detailed Index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject, and the author s interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages. 283p, map incdex Book
