A History of Greece: From the Time of Solon to 403 BC 1st Edition by George Grote (PDF)

Description

Grote’s History of Greece is one of the classic works of historical interpretation and scholarship. George Grote – banker, MP and a founder of London University – was the first historian to give a high value to the Greek creation of democracy, and this aspect of his work is closely relevant to current debates about democracy in our times. This abridgement of the original twelve volume work, which was made in the early years of the century and published by George Routledge and sons, is now available again and makes accessible the essential Grote.In a new and original introduction, based on the latest research into Grote and into Greek history, Paul Cartledge places Grote’s history in its intellectual context, discusses its salient features and traces its subsequent reception over the past century and a half.

⭐One of the great histories of Greece – old but still valuable – only problem is that this direct reprint preserves the tiny type making it more difficult to read than if they could have enlarged it to fill the page

⭐Péssima cópia digital. Não recomendo a compra.Interesting to read
