Waterfield, Robin - Creators, Conquerors & Citizens - A History of Ancient Greece (Published in by The Folio Society in 2018. Bound in blocked cloth. Set in Bembo Book with Stockholm display. 568 pages. Black & white title-page spread, plus a further 42 integrated images. 32 pages of colour plates. 17 maps. Blocked slipcase. 10? x 6.75?. Spanning 700 years, Creators, Conquerors & Citizens is classical scholar Robin Waterfield's complete, commanding history of Ancient Greece, augmented with vibrant colour illustrations in this large-format Folio Society edition. Covering more than seven centuries, from the emergence of the first Greek city-states to the Roman conquest in 30-BCE, Creators, Conquerors & Citizens is an all-embracing history of an extraordinary civilisation. Renowned scholar Robin Waterfield explains how and why a mosaic of skirmishing city-states became the cradle of Western civilisation, imprinting their common culture on vast swathes of Europe and the Middle East. In part, it is a story of empires, statecraft and war, peopled by such figures as Pericles, Alexander the Great, Plato, Aristophanes and Cleopatra. But Waterfield is also an accomplished social historian, exploring ideas on social class, public morality, slavery and the rights of women. This lavish Folio Society edition incorporates 42 black-and-white integrated illustrations and 32 pages of full-colour images. With 17 maps and a comprehensive chronology and glossary, Waterfield's acclaimed history is as accessible as it is authoritative. )
