Description
A sharp and often surprising view of the classical world is presented in this book by Frederic Raphael. After more than sixty years of writing, Raphael draws upon his erudition to create a vivid mosaic of Western civilization's complexities and contradictions.
The author tackles a broad range of topics, from democracy to gay rights movements, offering an often daringly heterodox perspective on the Greek and Roman world. He explores how fiction and reality, rhetorical aspiration and practical cunning, are intertwined in modern culture.
