Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Xenophons Anabasis has engaged and entertained readers from antiquity to the present day. Through his telling of the story of Cyrus the Youngers attempt on the Persian throne and its aftermath, Xenophon integrates many of the prominent themes and concerns in his writings, including leadership, panhellenism, Sparta and apologia. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, Brennan offers a fresh reading of the text which originates in a broad-ranging consideration of Xenophons aims in writing the book some thirty years after the event. The central argument brings the presence of Socrates into relief and demonstrates how the author, representing himself in the story as a model pupil of the philosopher, perpetuates Socratic teachings and values through Xenophons leadership. Ultimately, Anabasis is revealed to be a Socratic history, a narrative rooted in a historical event or period and in which the author embeds a reflection of the philosopher and his values. Offers a novel reading of one of the ancient worlds most famous and celebrated texts. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

The central argument brings the presence of Socrates into relief and demonstrates how the author, representing himself in the story as a model pupil of the philosopher, perpetuates Socratic teachings and values through 'Xenophon's' leadership.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. One of the greatest true-life adventure stories ever recorded, this ancient classic-also known as The March of the Ten Thousand or The March Up Country-is now brought to life in a newly translated, definitive edition that features copious illuminating annotations, maps, and illustrationsThe Landmark Xenophon's Anabasis is the definitive edition of the ancient classic-also known as The March of the Ten Thousand or The March Up-Country-which chronicles one of the greatest true-life adventures ever recorded.As Xenophon's narrative opens, the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger is marshaling an army to usurp the throne from his brother Artaxerxes the King. When Cyrus is killed in battle, ten thousand Greek soldiers he had hired find themselves stranded deep in enemy territory, surrounded by forces of a hostile Persian king. When their top generals are arrested, the Greeks have to elect new leaders, one of whom is Xenophon, a resourceful and courageous Athenian who leads by persuasion and vote. What follows is his vivid account of the Greeks' harrowing journey through extremes of territory and climate, inhabited by unfriendly tribes who often oppose their passage. Despite formidable obstacles, they navigate their way to the Black Sea coast and make their way back to Greece.This masterful new translation by David Thomas gives color and depth to a story long studied as a classic of military history and practical philosophy. Edited by Shane Brennan and David Thomas, the text is supported with numerous detailed maps, annotations, appendices, and illustrations.

Soft cover. Condition: New. BRENNAN, SHANE On Binler'in izinde. Adim adim Turkiye, Suriye ve Irak. Istanbul: Arkeoloji ve Sanat Yayinlari, 2020. 8vo., 440 p., b/w ills. Paperback. New ISBN: 9786053965176 CATALOG: Middle East KEYWORDS: Travel Anatolia Syria Iraq Brennan'in kitabini onemli kilan birincil etken, yolculugunu Irak savasi baslamadan kisa sure once, 2000 - 2001 yillarinda gerceklestirmis olusudur. Ksenophon'un yolculuguna taniklik etmis anitlarin, kentlerin ve yeryuzu sekillerinin bircogu, savas suresince yok edilecektir. Oturdugumuz yerden bizi yolculuga cikaran bu kitap, gezi edebiyatinin benzersiz bir ornegini olusturmaktadir. Son yillarda patlamaya hazir bir cografyaya donusen bolgede, okuyuculari Ksenophon'un izinden guvenle gezdirir. Gecmisin ve gunumuzun anlatildigi oykuler birbiriyle oyle dengeli harmanlanmistir ki, okuyucu hem eglenir hem de tarihe yonelik akademik bilgiler edinir. Brennan, durust ve acik anlatimiyla, yolculugun getirdigi mutluluklari ve zorluklari tum yalinligiyla betimlemesiyle ve hem cografyaya hem kulturlere hem de kimisi dost canlisi, kimisi dusmanca davranan yerli halka dair gozlemleriyle, okuyucuyu kitabin icine cekip, yolculuga cikan okuyucunun kendisiymis gibi hissettiriyor. Prof. Jonathan Burgess (Toronto Universitesi) Icinde yasadigimiz kirli dunyayla tarihi tek bir kitapta kaynastirmak kolay bir is degildir. Bilge Brennan'in yazdigi kitabin zenginligi iste burada yatar. Times Literary Supplement Pers tahtina oturma hevesindeki Genc Kyros ile askerlerinin izinden, Turkiye, Suriye ve Irak boyunca surukleyici bir yolculuk. Edebi ve tarihi boyutlariyla tekrar tekrar okunacak bir kitap. Stevenson'un gezi yazilarini cok kisi bilir ve okur ama Brennan'in bu ozeti olmasaydi, 2500 yil once yasanmis bir seferin anlatildigi Ksenophon'un Anabasis'ini bilen fazla insan olmazdi.
