The Greeks: An Introduction to Their Culture (Peoples of the Ancient World)
by Robin Sowerby Brad CookThis fully revised, new edition of The Greeks is a concise but wide-ranging introduction to the culture of ancient Greece, providing a comprehensive survey that covers all the key elements of ancient Greek civilisation from the age of Homer to the Hellenistic period.It opens with an overview of ancient historical sources and their authors and perspectives before delving into early history, legends and excavations, and the famed age of classical Greece. Chapters follow on politics, religion, daily life, literature, philosophy, and art and architecture, with a concluding chapter on the Greek world following the death of Alexander the Great and during the Roman era. This new edition features: greater discussion of underrepresented groups, especially women and slaves; a chapter on ancient politics that provides a comparison of an ancient aristocracy, democracy, and monarchy in Sparta, Athens, and Macedon; new and revised images, all now with detailed captions to merge the artefacts and texts more fully and bring the narrative to life for every reader; and new translations of all ancient passages revised for accuracy and clarity. Clearly written, with generous references to original source material, The Greeks places ancient Greek culture firmly in its political, social, and historical context.The fourth edition of The Greeks remains an invaluable introduction for all students of Classics and an indispensable guide for students of other disciplines who require grounding in ancient Greek civilisation and history.

Greeks Bearing Gifts: Bernie Gunther Thriller 13 (Bernie Gunther #13)
by Philip KerrBernie Gunther returns in the thirteenth book in the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling series, perfect for fans of John le Carre and Robert Harris.'One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written' LEE CHILD'Kerr leads us through the facts of history and the vagaries of human nature' TOM HANKS'One of the greatest master story-tellers in English' ALAN FURST1957, Munich. Bernie Gunther's latest move in a string of varied careers sees him working for an insurance company. It makes a kind of sense: both cops and insurance companies have a vested interest in figuring out when people are lying to them, and Bernie has a lifetime of experience to call on.Sent to Athens to investigate a claim from a fellow German for a sunken ship, Bernie takes an instant dislike to the claimant. When he discovers the ship in question once belonged to a Greek Jew deported to Auschwitz, he is convinced the sinking was no accident but an act of vengeance. And so Bernie is once again drawn inexorably back to the dark history of the Second World War, and the deportation of the Jews of Salonika - now Thessaloniki. As Europe prepares to move on to a more united future with Germany as a partner rather than an enemy, at least one person in Greece is ready neither to forgive nor forget. And, deep down, Bernie thinks they may have a point.
