Krátky popis
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF EMPEROR OF ROME AND SPQR'The rock
star scholar of Ancient Rome' FINANCIAL TIMES 'The reigning Queen
of Classics' SPECTATORWhat's exciting about a piece of bread 4,000
years old? Or some pots of paint abandoned in the eruption at
Pompeii? Why should we be bothered with the distant past anyway?
What's the point?The life, art and literature of ancient Greece and
Rome have something to offer everyone. They are not the property of
wealthy white men only. They make us wonder how to make sense of
people who lived long ago (from angry landlords to giggling
senators) - and to think harder about our own world, to look at it
differently.In Talking Classics, Mary Beard points to the
surprising connections between antiquity and the present. From
revolutionaries to dictators, Bob Dylan to Beyoncé, she joins
forces with the varied modern characters who have been transfixed
by the ancient world. It's not compulsory, she argues, to be
excited by antiquity, but it's a shame not to be.After half a
century teaching and studying classics, she fills the book with
lively stories, curious facts and some good gossip. Talking
Classics explains why the deep past does really affect us all.
