Fascinating Greece. Stories about Ancient Greek Culture

The name of Academician Gasparov represents an entire era in the study of antiquity: numerous studies, translations of Greek and Roman poets and writers, and finally, "Fascinating Greece. Stories about Ancient Greek Culture," which became a bestseller, a staple book in every reading family. Mikhail Leonovich was intelligent, but not overly so, able to write "fascinatingly," interestingly for both adults and children. This book is a kind of encyclopedia of ancient Greek culture, from which all modern European and Russian culture has grown. The six parts of the book (from the 9th to the 2nd century BC) cover politics, everyday life, military art, philosophy, theater, and poetry - all in an inseparable connection with each other and with the era. The style of presentation continues the tradition of ancient books about the "memorable words and deeds" of great people.
