The Roman Villa. An Historical Introduction. The key to Roman civilization was urban life, but Rome's remarkable succes in implanting her culture in distant Barbarian provinces also depended on the villa. Drawing on the full range of literary and artics as well as archaeological evidence, this pioneering work charts the origins and development of these country houses and their estates; in particular, it examines the villa as an institution, as a social and economic unit and as a part of the life and history of the Roman world.

Store description

En 1974 fundó Abelardo Linares, en el Barrio de Santa Cruz de Sevilla, Renacimiento, librería de libros viejos y antiguos, especializada desde un principio en literatura española e hispanoamericana y en primeras ediciones de las generaciones del 98 y del 27. El fondo se incrementó notablemente con la compra, en 1995, de la librería neoyorquina de Eliseo Torres, de más de un millón de volúmenes (literatura española e hispanoamericana, crítica literaria, exilio español, historia, arte, Galicia, etc.). Tras esta compra, y cerrada la tienda sevillana de Mateos Gago, 27, la sede de la librería se traslada a su almacén: una nave industrial de las afueras. Hasta el momento han aparecido más de 300 catálogos temáticos y variados, así como dos catálogos generales de literatura española e hispanoamericana, el segundo de ellos de más de 13.000 ítems.
