Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 3rd edition ( ) As indicated in its title, this book is a comprehensive overview of the history of Greece prior to Alexander. The author is thorough and clearly an excellent historian. However, one should be warned that the writing style reflects the book's age (written over a century ago), hence sometimes seems tedious. In addition, as with all summaries of ancient Greece, the sheer complexity of material requires real effort of the reader's behalf. All in all, recommended reading for those with a background in this area, however for the novice I suggest other books which are easier reads with less dense factual material. Livro encadernado em capa dura, em bom estado de conservação, apresentando alguns carimbos de coleção particular dos antigos proprietários. Contém algumas ilustrações, o mapa dobrável entre as páginas 770 e 771 está íntegro, encadernação firme, apresentando algumas marcas normais do uso, todas as páginas firmes e amareladas pelo tempo. Obra muito bonita. http://www.estantevirtual.com.br/LivrosAngrense || Contatos pelo e-mail: l i v r o s @ a n g r e n s e . c o m nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This book, originally published in 1900, was the major work of the classical historian J. B. Bury. It became a standard textbook on the topic of ancient Greek history to the death of Alexander the Great for almost a century, and in its updated form is still studied today. Bury had studied philosophy as well as classics at Trinity College, Dublin, and had travelled widely in Greece, but until the publication of this work was better known for his two-volume History of the Later Roman Empire (also reissued in this series), and many of his other works also deal with the Byzantine period. He describes in the preface his decision to limit the extent of his history: 'compression into a single volume often produces a more useful book'. This magisterial and very readable synthesis of political and military history encompasses nearly three millennia and the whole of the Mediterranean and Near East.
