Sobre este artículo
University of California Press, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. FINE/FINE. First Edition, first printing with complete number line. 970 pp. Large 8vo, sewn binding in black buckram cloth, gilt spine lettering. A pristine copy, entirely clean and sharp in crisp, bright DJ, now wrapped in mylar. Green's career has been incredibly prolific and wide-ranging. After building his literary reputation with historical novels and literary criticism, he came to greater renown with his popular biography, *Alexander of Macedon.* His study of the Hellenistic age eventually resulted in this compendious and ground-breaking study which has not gone out of print in over 30 years. 'This monumental work ... breaks with the traditional practice of dividing the Hellenistic world into discrete, repetitious studies of Seleucids, Ptolemies, Antigonids, and Attalids. He instead treats these successor kingdoms as a single, evolving, interrelated continuum. The result clarifies the political picture as never before. With the help of over 200 illustrations, Green surveys every significant aspect of Hellenistic cultural development, from mathematics to medicine, from philosophy to religion, from literature to the visual arts,' from the DJ flap.
