2019ill., br. Da Ulisse impariamo che l'uomo greco è simbolo della cultura vincitrice e Polifemo è la barbarie dell'Occidente, ingannata e sconfitta. Dall'Odissea apprendiamo non ricette o di modi di preparare i cibi e i vini ma come la civiltà greca identificava se stessa nel mangiare e nel bere. Il diverso era inferiore e mostruoso. Ulisse era davvero così buono? I Greci così civili? I popoli dell'Italia così terribili? Coloro che non parlavano greco erano davvero cannibali che non mangiavano pane e bevevano vino? Omero ci racconta così. I Greci, portatori di cultura e civiltà, erano generosi e pacifici? Quando arrivarono in Occidente erano già maestri di democrazia? I Greci decisero che il popolo dell'Italia Meridionale andava dominato per rieducarlo, portando con sé un nuovo modello di vita che includeva cibi e vini diversi. Fu così che si tentò la cancellazione del precedente. Così nacque la Magna Grecia, la vittoria della cultura sulla barbarie. Leggendo questo libro forse vedrete con occhi diversi Ulisse e Polifemo e capirete un po' di più ciò che mangiamo e ciò che beviamo...

2009Kineas, the Athenian cavalry commander, has come a long way since being dismissed from the army of Alexander and vengefully exiled by his own city. Together, his mercenary force and their Scythian allies have defeated a mighty Macedonian army at the Ford of the River God, and his adopted city of Olbia is now free once more. But his destiny will not allow him to enjoy the fruits of victory for long. Far to the east, at the farthest edge of the Sea of Grass, Alexander is threatening to crush the Scythian hordes once and for all. The Lady Srayanka of the Cruel Hands, the Scythian warrior-princess who spurned a king's love to be at Kineas's side, is pledged to take her tribe east to help stop 'the monster' - and Kineas knows he has no choice but to follow, even if it means embracing the violent death in battle that he has seen prefigured in countless dreams. But long before he can confront the might of Alexander's army alongside his beloved Srayanka, he must undertake an epic journey, of breathtaking daring, taking an army through hundreds of miles of hostile terrain - towards his own appointment with fate.

8Vo, hardcover in dj, pp.368. What does the face of power look like? Who gets commemorated in art and why? And how do we react to statues of politicians we deplore? In this book—against a background of today’s “sculpture wars”—Mary Beard tells the story of how for more than two millennia portraits of the rich, powerful, and famous in the western world have been shaped by the image of Roman emperors, especially the “Twelve Caesars,” from the ruthless Julius Caesar to the fly-torturing Domitian. Twelve Caesars asks why these murderous autocrats have loomed so large in art from antiquity and the Renaissance to today, when hapless leaders are still caricatured as Neros fiddling while Rome burns. Beginning with the importance of imperial portraits in Roman politics, this richly illustrated book offers a tour through 2,000 years of art and cultural history, presenting a fresh look at works by artists from Memling and Mantegna to the nineteenth-century American sculptor Edmonia Lewis, as well as by generations of weavers, cabinetmakers, silversmiths, printers, and ceramicists. Rather than a story of a simple repetition of stable, blandly conservative images of imperial men and women, Twelve Caesars is an unexpected tale of changing identities, clueless or deliberate misidentifications, fakes, and often ambivalent representations of authority. From Beard’s reconstruction of Titian’s extraordinary lost Room of the Emperors to her reinterpretation of Henry VIII’s famous Caesarian tapestries, Twelve Caesars includes fascinating detective work and offers a gripping story of some of the most challenging and disturbing portraits of power ever created.
