8vo, br. ed. 311pp. La diffusione dell'epicureismo nel mondo antico trova in Lucrezio uno degli interpreti più originali. La filosofia presentata nel "De rerum natura", scompaginando l'ordine costituito, mette la conoscenza della natura a fondamento della felicità dell'uomo e della liberazione dalle sue paure: solo attraverso un'indagine spregiudicata dei fenomeni naturali e delle cause recondite del loro manifestarsi diviene possibile assegnare all'uomo un'etica capace di renderlo libero nelle sue azioni e, contemporaneamente, di farlo vivere in sintonia con le leggi dell'universo. La scienza della natura viene dunque posta a base dell'etica, della cultura e addirittura della politica. Da allora, mai alla scienza è stato tributato un più alto valore culturale.

2015A compilation of late-19th-century travel writings (with an archaeological/ethnographical bias) centred on the Greek Dodecanese islands (including Rhodes, Nissiros, Tilos, Karpathos, Patmos, and Astypalea). The authors are the British explorer J. Theodore Bent (1852-1897), devotedly supported by his wife Mabel Virginia Anna (1847-1929). Theodore Bent's first successful monograph was based on two winters spent in the Cycladic isles (1882/3 and 1883/4). " The Cyclades, or Life Among the Insular Greeks" was published in 1885 and has been rarely out of print since. It remains one of the most delightful accounts in English of the region, and few serious travellers and tourists to these islands fail to discover it.The Bents moved a little east and explored the islands now commonly referred to as the Greek Dodecanese. Theodore's Dodecanesian output was channelled ... into a wide range of articles, while Mabel completed three volumes of her personal Chronicles on their daily travels and travails. Now, 130 years later, his The Dodecanese can appear for the first time: a collection of reminiscences and studies on these sunny, blue-surrounded, and delightful islands. Preface' by Marc Dubin. Introduction by Gerald Brisch. 195p. Fully illustrated with maps and photographs. Book
2006rif. 044235Oxford: Archaeopress 2006 Book. New. Soft cover. First Thus. On August 2nd 1877 the English explorer and archaeologist James Theodore Bent married an extraordinary Irishwoman Mabel Virginia Anna Hall-Dare .and within a few months they had embarked on their pattern of annual travels that continued until his early death in 1897. Their trips began fairly close to home visiting northern Italy but by 1883 they were in the Eastern Mediterranean in modern Greece and Turkey searching out the antiquities landscapes and lifestyles of a region that was to captivate them for the next fifteen years. Their researches led to a number of highly regarded monographs papers and articles such as Theodores 'The Cyclades or Life Among the Insular Greeks' 1885 and the many publications of their various discoveries in locations such as Rugged Cilicia the island of Thassos and elsewhere that were to place the couple securely amongst the foremost British travellers of the latter half of the 19th century. The publication therefore of Mabel Bents personal notebooks from the archive of the Joint Library of the Hellenic and Roman Societies London represents the discovery of a lost and notable milestone for scholars and travel enthusiasts of all kinds. This series of volumes begins with Mabels account of the couples adventures around the Aegean and beyond extracted from her fifteen-year sequence of notebooks and presented chronologically. Specifically we follow Mabel and Theodore to the Greek mainland and the islands known now as the Cyclades and the Dodecanese as well as the northern Aegean islands; their journeys along the Turkish littoral lead them from bustling Istanbul to provincial Mersin in the far south-west.363p. illus maps index.
