书籍简介

玛丽·比尔德是世界上最著名的古典主义者之一，她是一位才华横溢的学者，拥有通过电视节目和书籍与广大观众交流的罕见天赋。

在一系列精彩的文章中，她探索了我们丰富的古典遗产——从希腊戏剧到罗马笑话，介绍了一些古典历史上的传奇人物，如亚历山大大帝、尼禄和布迪卡。她邀请你到希腊人和罗马人生活和死亡的地方，从克诺索斯的宫殿到克利奥帕特拉的亚历山大港，并揭示经常隐藏的奴隶世界。从金色的大树枝到阿斯特里克斯，她以全新的视角审视了学术界的争论和对古代世界的流行解释。

三十多年的古典学术成果，直面经典，以智慧、神韵和学术专长抓住了古代世界及其现代意义。

Mary Beard is one of the world's best-known classicists - a brilliant academic, with a rare gift for communicating with a wide audience both though her TV presenting and her books.

In a series of sparkling essays, she explores our rich classical heritage - from Greek drama to Roman jokes, introducing some larger-than-life characters of classical history, such as Alexander the Great, Nero and Boudicca. She invites you into the places where Greeks and Romans lived and died, from the palace at Knossos to Cleopatra's Alexandria - and reveals the often hidden world of slaves. She takes a fresh look at both scholarly controversies and popular interpretations of the ancient world, from The Golden Bough to Asterix.

The fruit of over thirty years in the world of classical scholarship, Confronting the Classics captures the world of antiquity and its modern significance with wit, verve and scholarly expertise.
