Sobre este artículo
New York: Mentor Books, 1960. First published 1932. This Mentor edition first printing, 1957. Third printing, July 1960. Classic cover art in subdued hues of scene in ancient city with what appears to a senator, centurion and citiens beneath arch and statue of soldier on horse in b.g.. Moderate cover, corner, edge wear. Pages very good; few w/neat underscore. Interestingly, stylishly signed adjacent title page: "William P. Young Jr., 12, June, 71, Athens, Greece." Bind good, square. Near very good early printing with classic cover design. Edith Hamilton, the noted classicist interprets Roman life through the eyes of their great writers and literature. Presented here is an overview of the great Roman literature and its high impact on western civilization and the world. A brilliant and accessible interpretation of the legacy and influence of ancient Roman literature and art, and the glory that was Rome. Hamilton was fluent in both ancient Greek and Latin and read both in the original languages for her study, enjoyment and writing. Hamilton examines how the consciousness of Rome was expanded from the rudimentary necessities of existance most prevelant for most or all in prior civilizations, to the elevated and exploratory thought of greater ways, ideas, perspectives and forms of living. Includes a chronology of Roman ancient history, references for this volume, and a page of other Mentor titles on the ancient world. 159 pages. Insured post.. First Mentor Edition . Paperback.
