History of Greek Culture

This remarkable work is the first truly realistic approach to the civilization of the ancient Greeks. Burckhardt stripped the subject of all superficial trappings, preconception and sentimentality, and pierced it with a searching eye. The present volume is the translation of a recent abridged edition, which omits sections of interest to specialists alone. Profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions and wood engravings, it also contains a glossary and an index. Price clipped on front flap. Wraps in overall good+, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Item #31036
