Blood and Tears: Greece 1940-1949: a Story of War and Love

2005réf. 36482Washington: American Hellenic Institute Foundation 2005 Book. New Book from Publisher. Hardcover. 1st US Ed. A powerful autobiography set in the turbulent decade of 1940s Greece. Through the eyes of an impressionable and intelligent young man who came of age in a time of world war foreign occupation resistance and civil war we witness the tragedy and trauma suffered by Greece. While uniquely personal this is also the story of young Greeks cast unwillingly into the ambivalences and horrors of WWII.The authors descriptions are vivid and convincing. Against a rigorously researched backdrop of the key historical events we see youthful idealism being forcibly reconciled to the realities of hunger brutality dissension and death. With a keen eye for detail and reflecting on the mundane as well as the profound we watch as Greece patriotically fends off foreign invasion and survives years of harsh occupation but gullibly and disastrously succumbs to the blandishments of utopians.

The Parthenon Enigma: A New Understanding of The West's Most Iconic Building and the People Who Made it

2014réf. 33780New York: A.A.Knopf 2014 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st US Edition. Built in the fifth century b.c. the Parthenon has been venerated for more than two millennia as the West's ultimate paragon of beauty and proportion. Since the Enlightenment it has also come to represent our political ideals the lavish temple to the goddess Athena serving as the model for our most hallowed civic architecture. But how much do the values of those who built the Parthenon truly correspond with our own And apart from the significance with which we have invested it what exactly did this marvel of human hands mean to those who made it In this revolutionary book Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations she re-creates the development of the Acropolis -the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state- from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme. In particular she probes the Parthenon's legendary frieze: the 525-foot-long relief sculpture that originally encircled the upper reaches before it was partially destroyed by Venetian cannon fire in the seventeenth century. . The frieze's vast enigmatic procession -a dazzling pageant of cavalrymen and elders musicians and maidens - has for more than two hundred years been thought to represent a scene of annual civic celebration in the birthplace of democracy. But thanks to a once-lost play by Euripides the discovery of which in the wrappings of a Hellenistic Egyptian mummy is only one of this book's intriguing adventures Connelly has uncovered a long-buried meaning a story of human sacrifice set during the city's mythic founding. In a society startlingly preoccupied with cult ritual this story was at the core of what it meant to be Athenian. Connelly reveals a world that beggars our popular notions of Athens as a city of staid philosophers rationalists and rhetoricians a world in which our modern secular conception of democracy would have been simply incomprehensible. The Parthenon's full significance has been obscured until now owing in no small part Connelly argues to the frieze's dismemberment. And so her investigation concludes with a call to reunite the pieces in order that what is perhaps the greatest single work of art surviving from antiquity may be viewed more nearly as its makers intended. Marshalling a breathtaking range of textual and visual evidence full of fresh insights woven into a thrilling narrative that brings the distant past to life The Parthenon Enigma is sure to become a landmark in our understanding of the civilization from which we claim cultural descent. 512p. illus some col bibliographyindex Remainder mark else new .

Classical Spies is the first insiders account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean the network drew on scholars personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain.

2000réf. 32313London: Palgrave Macmillan 2000 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. The explorations of eighteenth-century travellers to the 'European frontiers' were often geared to define the cultural political and historical boundaries of 'European civilization.' In an age when political revolutions shocked nations into reassessing what separated the civilised from the barbaric how did literary travellers contemplate the characteristics of their continental neighbours Focusing on the writings of British travellers we see how a new view of Europe was created one that juxtaposed the customs and living conditions of populations in an attempt to define 'modern' Europe against a 'yet unenlightened' Europe.

When Archbishop Makarios was toppled as President of Cyprus in a 1974 coup and Turkish forces invaded the island few saw Cyprus as part of the incipient drive to create a new Europe. Yet as the authors reveal here behind the rhetoric of the politicians there is a growing view among Greek and Turkish Cypriots that the solution to Cyprus problems lies within the gift of Europe. They argue that the intercommunal stand-off can only be diffused and ultimately resolved by firmly embedding Cyprus within Europe. 150p.index. I.b.tauris hardcover
