Description
WE ARE WHAT WE KNOW. COSMOPOLITANS OF THE CLASSICAL WORLD (FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATED BOOK)
Through the tunnel of time, our ancestors pass on what they did down to us. We are what we know. Only by knowing where we came from will we know who we are. The Classical World emerges subtly over the course of the pages of this book, filled with images that speak for themselves. In this masterful work, the renowned international expert in classical culture Bárbara Pastor brings the best of the classical legacy back to life through a keen-eyed analysis of the present day. Over the course of the book, the author demonstrates how the classical world makes its presence felt in the reality that surrounds us, doing so in the form of an in-depth analysis of language, while also training her gaze on movies, novels, architecture and works of art. A thorough work illustrated throughout with photos. An educational, entertaining and comprehensive approach, suitable for both the most demanding of readers and the general public.
