8vo, br. ed. 292pp. L'avvento di Traiano al potere (98-117 d.C.) inaugurò uno dei periodi più felici della Storia di Roma, che sarebbe poi continuato con gli imperatori Antonini per quasi tutto il II secolo d.C., e ciò gli valse l'appellativo di Optimus Princeps, conferito per la prima volta dal senato a un imperatore per i suoi meriti. Scelto da Nerva con il beneplacito del senato, Traiano fu il primo imperatore adottivo e il primo nato in una delle province più romanizzate dell'Impero, la Spagna. Il suo principato per certi aspetti continuò nella direzione tracciata dai Flavi, in modo particolare nella politica estera, in quanto portò a compimento le operazioni militari avviate da Domiziano, volte a rafforzare i confini dell'Impero romano. Traiano fu così protagonista di memorabili successi militari, come la conquista della Dacia del re Decebalo, tanto da essere paragonato ad Alessandro Magno per aver esteso fino ad Oriente i confini dell'Impero con l'annessione dell'Arabia, dell'Armenia, dell'Assiria e della Mesopotamia. Fu anche un abile politico e un sagace amministratore, distinguendosi per i suoi provvedimenti in campo politico, economico e sociale, come l'istituzione degli alimenta, nonché un grande "costruttore", come testimoniano i suoi numerosi interventi sul piano urbanistico e monumentale, che abbellirono Roma e tante altre città dell'Impero, consentendoci ancor oggi di poter ammirare opere di straordinaria importanza, monumentalità e bellezza, come la Colonna Traiana, il Foro e i Mercati di Traiano, che ci raccontano la storia di un grande imperatore e di un'età tra le più felici della Storia di Roma.

The scene is Paris, sometime after the 1967 military coup in Greece. Eleni, together with a group of her friends and fellow political exiles, finds herself working as an extra in a French film: The Horror Train. It is not the first time Eleni has been caught up in a deadly drama, nor is it her first ride on a "horror train." As the director waves his arms, shouting directions and re-shouting the sequence, Eleni's mind wanders to her first train ride: "Athens-Piraeus. My first big trip by train. - You're Eleni? I'm Achilles. They don't ask which Achilles. One name is enough." For the rest of her life, Eleni will be "Achilles' Fiancee," fiancee of the guerilla leader, the brave, handsome kapetanios whose code-name is Achilles. In the demonstrations against the German occupiers of Greece, in prison where she waits for a death sentence during the post-war persecution of suspected leftists, in exile in Tashkent where the exiled Greek communists fight amongst themselves, and finally in Paris. But somewhere along the way Eleni becomes an indepentent character with a mind of her own. As she begins to doubt the slogans that she fought for when she was a blind follower of leaders like her fiance. Eleni involves us in her own private world of self-discovery. It is a woman's world, where human warmth and friendships matter more than abstract ideals. The Greek word for a novel is mythistorema, a word that combines "myth" and "history." In her story of a young woman's struggle to survive through an extraordinary period of Greek history Alki Zei has woven the threads of her own quasi-mythical life into the stuff of history. The result is a compelling and beautiful novel that opens a new window on modern Greek history.374p. Book

Carta geografica, antica ed originale, in coloritura coeva raffigurante: Grecia, Creta, Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia, Romania
Carta geografica tratta dall’Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Stampato in quattro volumi da Antonio Zatta tra il 1779 ed il 1785. Atlante fra i più belli e completi mai pubblicati in Italia nel XVIII secolo, l'opera più famosa dello Zatta. L’Atlante Novissimo, come si specifica anche nel titolo, è “accresciuto sulle osservazioni scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi”. Tra le novità più significative vi è la comparsa delle nuove isole scoperte nell'Oceano Pacifico da James Cook e la prima carta italiana della Nuova Zelanda. Le illustrazioni furono ideate e disegnate dai suoi collaboratori Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli ed incise da Giuliano Zuliani. Il primo tomo dell’atlante è introdotto da un breve saggio di geografia generale dove l’autore definisce in modo sintetico e preciso gli elementi che compongono i reticoli eclittico ed equatoriale usati nelle tavole. Interessante la sezione dove si sofferma a descrivere il fenomeno della precessione degli equinozi e quello della variazione ciclica dell'obliquità dell'eclittica. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni. Map from the Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Printed in four volumes by Antonio Zatta between 1779 and 1785. Atlas among the most beautiful and complete ever published in Italy in the eighteenth century, the most famous work of Zatta. The Atlante Novissimo, as also specified in the title, is “increased on the observations made by the most famous and most recent geographers”. Among the most significant innovations there is the appearance of the new islands discovered in the Pacific Ocean by James Cook and the first Italian map of New Zealand. The illustrations were designed and drawn by his collaborators Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli and engraved by Giuliano Zuliani. The first volume of the atlas is introduced by a brief essay of general geography where the author defines in a concise and precise way the elements that make up the ecliptic and equatorial grids used in the tables. Interesting is the section where he pauses to describe the phenomenon of precession of the equinoxes and the cyclical variation of the obliquity of the ecliptic. Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, contemporary outline coloring, in good condition.
