书籍简介

24小时漫步古代城市系列：古希腊（平装） 24 Hours in Ancient Athens : A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There

雅典，公元前416年。一个脆弱的和平得以维持。这个城邦的政治和军事力量令整个古代世界畏惧；在这个时代，它推动了社会、文学和哲学实验的发展，它的人均天才数量比人类历史上任何时候都要多。然而，即使是天才也会去上厕所，与他们的配偶争吵，与朋友喝酒。

不过，这个城市的其他居民很少能享受到这样一个文明社会的好处——尽管雅典可能是多元文化和进步的，但许多人被禁止入籍。不，对于普通人来说，生活就是为了维持生计，无论是卖鱼、守卫神庙还是走私利润丰厚的希腊无花果。

在一天的时间里，我们遇到了24个来自社会各阶层的雅典人——从花瓶画家到海军指挥官，从家庭主妇到跳水运动员--并通过与他们相处一小时来了解真正的雅典是什么样的。我们每一章都会遇到不同的人物，每一章都构成了古城生活中的一个小时。我们还可以通过普通人的眼睛窥探知名的雅典人的日常行为，因为这座城市正徘徊在毁灭其黄金时代的致命战争的边缘。

Athens, 416 BC. A tenuous peace holds. The city-state's political and military might are feared throughout the ancient world; it pushes the boundaries of social, literary and philosophical experimentation in an era when it has a greater concentration of geniuses per capita than at any other time in human history. Yet even geniuses go to the bathroom, argue with their spouse and enjoy a drink with friends.

Few of the city's other inhabitants enjoy the benefits of such a civilized society, though - as multicultural and progressive as Athens can be, many are barred from citizenship. No, for the average person, life is about making ends meet, whether that be selling fish, guarding the temple or smuggling lucrative Greek figs.

During the course of a day we meet 24 Athenians from all strata of society - from the slave-girl to the councilman, the vase painter to the naval commander, the housewife to the hoplite - and get to know what the real Athens was like by spending an hour in their company. We encounter a different one of these characters every chapter, with each chapter forming an hour in the life of the ancient city. We also get to spy on the daily doings of notable Athenians through the eyes of regular people as the city hovers on the brink of the fateful war that will destroy its golden age.

书籍简介

24小时漫步古代城市系列：古埃及（平装） 24 Hours in Ancient Egypt : A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There

古埃及并非只有金字塔、狮身人面像和黄金石棺。对于普通的埃及人来说，生活是艰难的，工作是艰苦的，在太阳神拉的灼热目光下进行。

在埃及底比斯古城（今卢克索）的一天里，我们见到了来自社会各阶层的24名埃及人——从国王到面包师，从女祭司到渔夫，从士兵到助产士——并通过与他们相处一小时来了解真实的埃及是什么样的。我们在每一小时和每一章中都会遇到不同的人物，通过他们的眼睛看到古埃及普通的一天到底是什么样子。

Ancient Egypt wasn't all pyramids, sphinxes and gold sarcophagi. For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra.

During the course of a day in the ancient city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor), Egypt's religious capital, we meet 24 Egyptians from all strata of society - from the king to the bread-maker, the priestess to the fisherman, the soldier to the midwife - and get to know what the real Egypt was like by spending an hour in their company. We encounter a different one of these characters every hour and in every chapter, and through their eyes see what an average day in ancient Egypt was really like.
