Evans, J. A. S.
HERODOTUS, EXPLORER OF THE PAST Three Essays
DJ has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 184 pages; Why does a power expand and become an empire? Writing in the early years of the Peloponnesian War, Herodotus gave Athens full credit for saving Greece from Persia, but also identified the city's expansion as a new manifestation of imperialist aggression. In this skillful analysis of Herodotus' intellectual world, J.A.S. Evans combines historical, anthropological, and literary techniques to show how the war affected not only the great thinker's view of Persian aggression and of the people involved in it but also the shape of the Histories themselves. The first essay discusses Herodotus' investigation of imperialism, and the second finds the beginnings of biography in his descriptions of individuals, particularly in his well-crafted portrait of Cyrus. The third essay describes the "Father of History" as a collector and evaluator of local oral stories, sources for the written work that was destined by its scope and unifying plan to introduce a new genre. Evans draws analogies between Herodotus' methods and those of oral historians in other cultures, particularly in precolonial Africa. He also explores comparisons between Herodotus in Egypt and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European ethnologists in the Americas.

A PLATO PRIMER
Book is fine. ; Ix, 163pp. A Plato Primer introduces students and general readers to the main theses, concepts, and arguments in Plato's philosophy. Plato's thought? Subtle, versatile, and multifaceted? Extends over many decades of composition and many philosophical topics, making it difficult to distill. J. D. G. Evans overcomes this challenge by starting from the premise that there is a core to Plato's philosophy that can be traced through the spectrum of his writings. ; 163 pages

CIVIC RITES Democracy and Religion in Ancient Athens
Bottom edge stamped "Review Copy Not for Resale," else Fine. ; This book makes a strong case for the importance of religious practices in Classical Athens, showing how thoroughly ritual was integrated into the city's democratic institutions and civic life. To this end Nancy Evans takes an in depth look at the cults of Athena, Demeter and Dionysus and the festivals and games associated with them. Writing for the general reader as well as the scholar, she reconstructs the rhythms of Athenian life and the omnipresence of ritual, sacrifice and incantation in both public and private spheres. Building on this picture of the broad institutional importance of religion, she goes on to provide detail of the religious backdrop to many of the key events of the Athenian Classical age, including Alcibiades' profaning of the Eleusinian Mysteries, and most notoriously, the trial of Socrates. ; 272 pages

Ari : The Life and Times of Aristotle Onassis
Detailed and well researched biography of Aristotle Onassis. Peopled with movie stars and dictators, tycoons and royalty, Ari tells of bitter family feuds and tenuous alliances, international scandals, lawsuits, passionate affairs, and chicanery in the world of the very rich. No one was richer, more powerful, more publicized, or more outrageous than Aristotle Onassis. Combining shrewd cunning, extraordinary energy, and amoral charm, the Green Onassis rose from the brutal back streets of Smyrna, Turkey, to run an international business empire. He controlled one of the world's largest shipping lines, owned an international airline, bought and sold the bank of Monte Carlo, and made a reputation as one of the most ruthless deal-makers of his aHC. 359p.

GAIUS MARIUS A Political Biography
Dustjacket has minor edgewear. ; Though he may not have realised it, Gaius Marius caused through his political ambition the beginnings of the fall of the Roman Republic. Presenting this view, Evans traces here Marius' rise to pre-eminence, his contribution to legislation and his involvement with other politicians. It was other politicians, this work argues, that emulated or even exceeded a dangerous precedent Marius had set. ; 247 pages

Evans, Richard J.
QUESTIONING REPUTATIONS Essays on Nine Roman Republican Politicians
Contents: Section 1: The Great Men. I. The Military Reputation of Gaius Marius; II. Pompey in the 70s; III. Caesar's use of tribuni plebis; A comparision of Marius Pompey and Caesar. Section 2: The Lesser Figures. IV. Saturninus and Glaucia: a quest for power; V. The Characters of Drusus and Sulpicia; VI. Clodius and Milo: more equals than opposites; A comparison of Saturninus and Glaucia, Drusus and Sulpicius, Clodius and Milo. ; 221 pages; The reputations of a great many figures in history have been established by chance and opportunity: a single victory on the battlefield, a political triumph in domestic affairs. This statement is equally applicable for that century between 146 and 31 BC, which today is usually designated the Late Roman Republic. On the basis of often rather meagre facts, reputations have been constructed and, as a result, whole careers became mythologised by later writers even in antiquity. The main aim of this volume is to question certain reputations in order to place into a more realistic historical context the subjects under discussion.

The Cookery of Lefkada: TASTES NARRATIVES AND CUSTOMS IN THE CYCLE OF THE SEASONS
<p>In English. Soft cover 19x21 cm 208 pp.</p><p>A book about cooking as well as about the people of Leucas written by a Leucadian author for this land of azure light of the olive tree and cypress of emerald seas. Evi Voutsina returns to her roots in writing this book after having roamed around the whole of Greece for at least twelve years researching and recording the country's gastronomic culture. Her search does not stop at writing down recipes. She is interested in the techniques of food preparation the conditions of life the human aspect and all the 'little touches' that give each dish its particular taste: everything that constitutes the ethos of food. In the end result while collecting recipes and listening to the stories around them Evi Voutsina's work is also folklore: the axis of her books is the turning seasons the rhythms and harmony of nature; the leading role is the essence of Greek cooking and more broadly Mediterranean cuisine which is the measure of it all. Pre-eminently however the protagonists are the people those who are willing to share their memories with us who will tell their charming stories of the past with which in simplicity yesterday is bridged to today.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>==================================================================</p><p><b>IMPORTANT: The shipping cost is an important parameter of this order; it is NOT included in the price and depends on the actual weight and destination; you will have to approve it after the confirmation of the order.
