About This Item
London, England: Faber & Faber. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2005. Hardcover. 0571215416 . Black hardcovers with a solid binding and a clean, unmarked text. An ex-library book, no pocket, but there are stamps to the top and bottom page edges. The DJ is unclipped and is protected by a clear plastic. "Songs on Bronze is the first major retelling of Greek mythology in half a century; a set of lively, racy, dramatic versions of the great myths, which, in a multicultural society, are recognized more than ever as stories without equal. Most of us would like to know the Greek myths better than we do, and the power of ancient texts still retain their power to enchant and enthral. And yet the modern translations of the Greek myths have sought to instruct, to edify, or to impart a personal philosophy. Songs on Bronze is different. With this book, Nigel Spivey - a young Cambridge classicist and rising broadcaster - gives us the Greek myths as the spellbinding stories they are. "; 9.21 X 5.67 X 1.18 inches; 304 pages .
