Classici lettori di classici non è una tautologia. Chi si occupa di Fortleben sa bene che le letture non sono mai operazioni neutre, soprattutto quando sono compiute da personaggi di eccezione, destinati a loro volta a rientrare nel novero dei “classici”. Ogni lettore, inevitabilmente, è portatore della sua storia e del suo vissuto: rispecchia l’esegesi corrente al proprio tempo (non necessariamente in posizione di acquiescenza, talora anche in chiave critica) e, accanto al patrimonio erudito che dimostra di conoscere e utilizzare (edizioni critiche, testi scientifici di corredo, elementi che in realtà sono spesso ben poco “neutri”) , trasfonde nella sua lettura anche un sistema valoriale che lo induce a compiere delle selezioni. Inevitabilmente, alcuni elementi sono posti in maggior risalto a scapito di altri: questi ultimi finiscono per essere sottaciuti, dimenticati, ma forse anche destinati, in un altro momento (e in diverso contesto) , a essere ripresi in considerazione. Nasce così una nuova interpretazione che si somma alle altre, anche quando pretende di sostituirle, tenuto conto dell’inesistenza, per fortuna, di esegesi “definitive”. ; ECHO 8; 312 pages

Crease to front wrap. ; Roland Auguet examines the Roman taste for blood and considers what the games, that strange combination of Cruelty and Civilization, reveal about the Roman mentality. He shows how the great spectacles became a part of city life - they were awaited with impatience, everyone discussed them, some applauded the action in the arena, while others booed frantically. This book provides an exciting history of gladiators, chariot racing and other games as well as an investigation of their function and significance within society. It is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the Romans' violent form of entertainment. ; 222 pages
In "French Odysseys", Olga Augustinos offers a comprehensive treatment of French travel literature about Greece - from the mid-16th-century arrival of the first French travellers to the outbreak of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The result not only provides a composite portrait of Greece over two and a half centuries but also offers a revealing look at the evolving values and perceptual framework of the travellers themselves. Augustinos begins by exploring the dramatic differences between French travel writing of the early modern era and previous accounts of medieval religious pilgrimages. In place of otherworldly invocations of the grace of divine providence came emphasis on visual perception and precise observation as a means of understanding the physical universe. After 1750, in keeping with developments in European literature, travelogues became infused with sentimental musings, picturesque portrayals of natural sites and monuments, and lyrical effusions that injected a personal, subjective note into what had previously been factual narratives. Yet European travel literature on Greece, Augustinos explains, also has a unique dimension.The legacy of the classical past - real or imagined - made the country seem closer to the West, while its state of subjugation placed it in the penumbra between East and West. Confronted with the discrepancy between classical ideal and contemporary reality, travellers increasingly attempted to impose their preconceptions of what "Greece" ought to be, a process that culminated in the emergence of philhellenism in the late-18th century. 345 p.plates bibliography.index Book
