Krátky popis
The Parthenon Marbles (formerly known as the Elgin Marbles),
designed and executed by Pheidias to adorn the Parthenon, are
perhaps the greatest of all classical sculptures. In 1801, Lord
Elgin, then ambassador to the Turkish government, had chunks of the
frieze sawn off and shipped to England, where they were
subsequently seized by Parliament and sold to the British Museum to
help pay off his debts. This scandal, exacerbated by the inept
handling of the sculptures by their self-appointed guardians,
remains unresolved to this day.In his fierce, eloquent account of a
shameful piece of British imperial history, Christopher Hitchens
makes the moral, artistic, legal and political case for re-unifying
the Parthenon frieze in Athens. The opening of the New Acropolis
Museum emphatically trumps the British Museum's long-standing (if
always questionable) objection that there is nowhere in Athens to
house the Parthenon Marbles. With contributions by Nadine Gordimer
and Professor Charalambos Bouras, The Parthenon Marbles will surely
end all arguments about where these great treasures belong, and
help bring a two-centuries-old disgrace to a just conclusion.
