Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Mary Beard is one of the world's best-known classicists - a brilliant academic, with a rare gift for communicating with a wide audience both though her TV presenting and her books. In a series of sparkling essays, she explores our rich classical heritage - from Greek drama to Roman jokes, introducing some larger-than-life characters of classical history, such as Alexander the Great, Nero and Boudicca. She invites you into the places where Greeks and Romans lived and died, from the palace at Knossos to Cleopatra's Alexandria - and reveals the often hidden world of slaves. She takes a fresh look at both scholarly controversies and popular interpretations of the ancient world, from The Golden Bough to Asterix. The fruit of over thirty years in the world of classical scholarship, Confronting the Classics captures the world of antiquity and its modern significance with wit, verve and scholarly expertise. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Illustrierter Pappeinband mit Rücken- und Deckeltitel und farbigen Vorsätzen. Der Seitenschnitt und die entsprechenden Seitenränder ebd. mit winziger Druckstelle, ca. die Hälfte der Seiten mit kleinem dezentem Knick am unteren Rand, ansonsten sehr guter Erhaltungszustand, das Buch wurde lediglich zu Prüfzwecken aus der Originalfolie genommen. "Die Autoren dieses Bandes berichten sehr unterhaltsam, unterstützt durch Abbildungen und Cartoons, von dem Entdeckerspaß der Altertumswissenschaftler, aber auch von den Problemen, vor die sie sich bei ihrer Forschung gestellt sehen. Dabei geht es um Kunstraub genauso wie um große Theorien, um moderne Techniken wie um das Beherrschen der alten Sprachen, um das Puzzlespiel der Rekonstruktion wie um das Bild des Altertums im Wandel der Jahrhunderte. Ausgangspunkt sind vereinzelte Stücke eines antiken griechischen Tempels - des Tempels von Bassai -, ausgestellt im Britischen Museum, im Herzen des modernen London." (Verlagstext) Dame Winifred Mary Beard, DBE, FSA, FBA (geboren 1. Januar 1955 in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, England) ist eine englische Althistorikerin und Frauenrechtlerin. Beard ist Professor of Classics an der University of Cambridge sowie Fellow des dortigen Newnham College. Sie gibt den Bereich Altertumswissenschaften für das Times Literary Supplement heraus und führt das Blog A Don?s Life in Times Online (das gleichzeitig als Kolumne in The Times erscheint). Zahlreiche Medienauftritte, umstrittene Äußerungen zu den Ursachen der Terroranschläge am 11. September 2001 und die Veröffentlichung der Geschichte ihrer eigenen Vergewaltigung während einer Italienreise im Jahr 1978 haben sie allgemein bekannt gemacht. Beard arbeitet zu verschiedenen Aspekten der antiken römischen, aber auch griechischen Geschichte und Kultur wie Sozialgeschichte, Religion, Sexualität und Gender und zur Kunst- und Literaturgeschichte sowie zur Rezeptions- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Dabei berücksichtigt sie auch Hilfs- und Randdisziplinen wie die Epigraphik und die Museumsgeschichte. Seit ihrer Jugend hegt sie ein besonderes Interesse an der Stadt Pompeji. Der Kölner Althistoriker Karl-Joachim Hölkeskamp schrieb über ihre Publikationen: ?In elegantem Duktus, aber mit spitzer Feder und erbarmungsloser Schärfe will sie sich erklärtermaßen daranmachen, die gesamte bisherige Forschung souverän-kritisch auseinanderzunehmen und das Dickicht aus trügerischen Sicherheiten und verstaubten Vorurteilen, hergebrachten Handbuchweisheiten und verbohrten Orthodoxien zu lichten.?[ Zu den schwindenden Wissensvoraussetzungen für die antike Geschichte äußerte sie 2022, dass ?viele Kunstwerke zunächst nicht viel bedeuten, wenn man weder mit der Bibel noch der Mythologie oder den römischen Kaisern vertraut ist. Warum sind die Impressionisten so beliebt? Weil man nichts wissen muss, um sie zu genießen.? . ?Vor hundert Jahren gab es ein paar Kerle, die verdammt gut waren, aber auch viele, die es nicht waren. Im neunzehnten Jahrhundert hat der Fakultätsvorstand das Niveau der Studenten beklagt. Dabei waren die Prüfungen in Latein und Griechisch sehr einfach. Das ganze Gerede über Verdummung ist übertrieben." (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 168 pages. 8° (128 x 195mm).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. First Edition thus. Confronting the Classics Traditions, Adventures and Innovations Special Collection by Mary Beard. Published by Liveright Publishing Corporation in 2013. Hardcover. Mary Beard, drawing on thirty years of teaching and writing about Greek and Roman history, provides a panoramic portrait of the classical world, a book in which we encounter not only Cleopatra and Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Hannibal, but also the common people-the millions of inhabitants of the Roman Empire, the slaves, soldiers, and women. How did they live? Where did they go if their marriage was in trouble or if they were broke? Or, perhaps just as important, how did they clean their. Collectible item in very fine condition.
