Letters from the Desert: The Correspondence of Flinders and Hilda Petrie
edited by Margaret Drower
Flinders Petrie began his long association with ancient Egypt and the Near East when he went to Giza to survey the pyramids in 1880. He continued to dig almost until his death in Jerusalem in 1942. During his long career he revolutionised Egyptian archaeology and indeed can be said to have founded modern scientific archaeology. But this book is not concerned with his scientific work, except tangentially, as Petrie had an admirable practice of ...

Albuquerque: Caesar of the East
Edited and Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Tom Earle and John Villiers
Selected Texts by Afonso de Albuquerque and his son.

Greek Orators IV: Andocides
Introduction, translation and commentary by M. Edwards~
Rational persuasion and appeal to an audience's emotions are elements of most literature, but they are found in their purest form in oratory. The speeches written by the Greek Orators for delivery in law-courts, deliberative councils and assemblies enjoyed an honoured literary status, and rightly so, for the best of them have great vitality. There is no crude, primitive stage of development: the earliest speeches are perfect in form and highly ...

Plato: Republic I and II (-368c)~
edited by C Emlyn-Jones~
Republic, Plato's best known and most frequently read
dialogue, although receiving a flood of translations and
philosophical analysis over the last 100 years, has in recent
times been quite short of detailed commentaries. In particular, a
full edition of the introductory sections of the dialogue,
representing, probably, a single papyrus roll in the original
text (the division into our 'Books' came later), has ...

Tirso de Molina: Jealous of Herself
translated with an introduction by Harley Erdman
Tirso de Molina's Jealous of Herself (c. 1622-23) is an ingenious comedy of disguise and deception set in the streets, plazas, and fashionable apartments of early 17th- century Madrid. Nearly forgotten for almost 400 years, the play is starting to gain attention today for its very modern perspective on male desire and the difficult situation placed on women who must live up to an ideal fantasy projected onto them. Much like another product ...
