The Greek experience
by Cecil Maurice Bowra
Category: Cililization, Homeric

A magnificent evocation of the Greeks from Homer to the fall of Athens in 404bc. 'With a kind of brilliant imaginative sympathy and knowledge, he evokes the life, the thought, the ideals, the philosophy, the virtues and the faults of these extraordinary people.' Rose Macaulay 'One has the compelling impression, on closing the book, of having finished a masterpiece.' Patrick Leigh Fermor
