Superior
23 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
Maurice Bowra devoted his life to examining the Greeks and then produced a masterpiece.His erudition is more than a match for Greek philosophy,science,history and especially, the art he so respectfully observed; his scholarship also lent him the ability to narrate the appearance of the Greeks with a sense that is both astonished and intimate. Thousands of books have been written about the civilization of Greece and many more will appear.This will remain superior.
