| Popis: | One of a series addressing different countries, this article presents a ‘Top Ten’ choice of books about Greece plus forty or so supplementary titles. ‘Greece’ is conceptualized as including not only the modern nation state but also the broader Greek oikoumene spanning 5000 years of history. Continuities through history are emphasized to avoid a polarized perspective of ‘ancient’ and ‘modern’ Greece. The books selected cover: history, myth and folklore, biography, fiction, poetry, art, travel, society and environment, philosophy, and current affairs. Together they convey not only the distinctiveness and complexity of Greek civilization but also its perennial international significance. |
