Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Volume V of the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History encompasses the first classic age of European civilization--the fifth century B.C. This was the first and last period before the Romans in which great political and military power was located in the same place as cultural importance. This volume, therefore, is more narrowly focused geographically than its predecessors and successors, and hardly strays beyond Greece. Athens is at the center of the picture, both politically and culturally, but events and achievements elsewhere are assessed as carefully as the nature of our sources allows. Two series of narrative chapters, one on the growth of the Athenian empire and the development of Athenian democracy, the other on the Peloponnesian War that brought them down, are divided by a series of studies in which the artistic and literary achievements of the fifth century are described.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a profound glimpse into the remarkable lives and unwavering loyalty of Japanese women during the feudal era of Japan. Set against the backdrop of a rigidly defined social hierarchy, the stories delve into the inner lives of women from various social strata, showcasing their courage, sacrifice, and resilience in the face of adversity. The author painstakingly weaves together historical accounts and anecdotes, shedding light on the complex roles women played in shaping the political and social landscape of their time. By exploring the lives of women like Matsuda Sukehachi's daughter, Fuji-ko, and Nomura Moto-ko, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted nature of female experience in pre-industrial Japan. Ultimately, it highlights the enduring power of women's agency and their contributions to history, reminding us of their indomitable spirit and the timeless values of loyalty and selflessness.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Second Revised Edition. Very small ink markings to about 2 pages. Some minor pencilling.; The first section of this volume examines the Persian empire, the regions it comprised, and its expansion under Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes. In Greece, Sparta attained maturity as the leader of a military coalition and Athens passed through a period of enlightened tyranny to a moderate democracy of dynamic energy and intelligence. Given the contrast between Greek idealism and Persian absolutism a clash between the two empires was inevitable. Important chapters deal with the revolt of Ionian Greeks against the Persians, and the two Persian invasions of Greece including epic battles at Marathon, Tthermopylae, and Salamis.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Volume VI of the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History begins with Sparta attempting to consolidate its leadership of mainland Greece and ends with the death of Alexander the Great after he had conquered the Persian Empire and marched far into India. It is correspondingly wide-ranging in its treatment of the politics and economy, not only of old Greece, but of the Near East and the western Mediterranean. The century also saw the continued development of Classical Greek art and the moulding of Greek prose as an uniquely flexible means of expression. The formation of the great philosophical schools assured to Athens in her political decline a long future as a cultural centre, and established patterns of thought which dominated western civilization for two thousand years. This volume covers years which include the rise of Macedon and the campaigns of Alexander the Great. It treats the politics and economy not only of old Greece but also of the Near East and the western Mediterranean.
