2004"Four well-known classicists have taken the traditional chronology of Greek history texts and written a much-needed overview for modern students. By means of a chapter structure that is well designed and logical, they take us through each period of Greek history . Each chapter begins with a discussion of the sources for that period and includes annotated endnotes that deal extensively with recent scholarship. Unlike many other histories, the book goes into depth on the Hellenistic period, as well as the Bronze and Dark Ages. Although the Spartans and Athenians naturally dominate, the authors consider Sparta before Athens, reflecting the order in which the moderns have admired them. An appropriate balance is found between political, social, and cultural history, and the authors display no outlandish prejudices to derail this noble effort" 512p. illus. bibliography.index Text clean and neat, but some minor scuffing to paper wraps Book

1991Experiences of a Norwegian-American girl living in a small Greek village in the Peloponnese Book
1987Set amid the arid landscape and stony resentments of Greece in the aftermath of its bloody civil war, this electrifying novel unfolds a series of interconnecting modern-day fables about childhood and family, love and betrayal. God's Snake is the story of the inventive, courageous Anna, a young girl who has inherited both the skepticism of classical Athens and the fierce stoicism of Sparta. It is also the story of Anna's parents: her mother, a woman as remote as she is seductive, and her father, a misogynist army officer who, when Anna cries, tells her, "we are not born to be comforted." As Anna picks her way through this emotional minefield, she encounters people and animals that possess the revelatory powers of figures in a dream: the snakes her father's adjutant kills as emissaries of the Devil, a poetry-loving general; a haunted girl whose mother dies of tuberculosis; a frozen crow that miraculously comes back to life, God's Snake is a work filled with passion, magic, and terror, conceived by a novelist of visionary authority 252p.

2014br. Nell'era post-ideologica della globalizzazione - tra crisi dell'economia e nodi irrisolti della rappresentanza politica - molti spettri continuano ad aggirarsi ai margini e negli interstizi della cultura europea. Fantasmi e relitti di età recente depositati nell'archivio delle grandi narrazioni declinanti. Ma anche spettri di età più remota: voci, figure e storie che vengono dalla Grecia classica. Che cosa fanno intendere questi spettri antichi? Come possono essere consapevolmente evocati perché agiscano segnando l'apertura di un contro-tempo e di un controdiscorso nello scenario della crisi, perché producano una modificazione dello sguardo? Partecipazione politica, natura della legge, distribuzione della ricchezza, modelli educativi, conflitto tra generazioni, donne e soggetti alternativi, linguaggi della comunicazione e del potere, strategie del rapporto tra governanti e governati, costruzione di un centro condiviso in cui riconoscersi sono i temi che qui si intrecciano nel confronto con i testi e gli autori della cultura greca, da Solone a Tucidide, da Eschilo a Aristofane, da Eraclito a Platone. Dal desiderio della democrazia ai sentieri della sapienza iniziatica, la traiettoria dell'evocazione costringe a riflettere sui modi e sul senso di abitare la polis.
2014Helena: an Odyssey is an absorbing saga of myth and obsession, of a family haunted by their illustrious Byzantine past and a compulsion to redeem it. Bittersweet love stories are set against wars, forced population exchanges and confusion about ethnic identity. Woven throughout lies the power and symbolism of hair. Helena's daughter Georgia, narrating the tale, begins in 1908 when her great grandparent the Greek Yiannis Kouvalis and two sons set out on an epic journey from a poor Turkish village to glittering Smyrna on the Aegean Coast. Eventually succeeding as prosperous merchants, the sons marry and have children. But the Young Turks are rising, and the ensuing Greco-Turkish wars culminate in the fiery destruction of Smyrna. Ethnic cleansing follows. Surviving remnants of the Kouvalis family are reduced once more to poverty and forced into what, to them, is an alien Greece. The burden of redemption passes down the generations to fall, finally, on the unlikely Helena who longs only to create beautiful hair and through it, achieve international fame. But she is distracted by her intense love for local boy Stephan. Thwarted in her attempts to follow him when he leaves for the coal mines of Australia, she travels instead to her sister in Toronto. It is here where her real heartaches begin.[Only 2 copies in WorldCat, NONE in Canada] Book
