1960. The world is dancing on the edge of revolution, and nowhere more so than on the Greek island of Hydra, where a circle of poets, painters and musicians live tangled lives, ruled by the writers Charmian Clift and George Johnston, troubled king and queen of bohemia. Forming within this circle is a triangle: its points the magnetic, destructive writer Axel Jensen, his dazzling wife Marianne Ihlen, and a young Canadian poet named Leonard Cohen. Into their midst arrives teenage Erica, with little more than a bundle of blank notebooks and her grief for her mother. Settling on the periphery of this circle, she watches, entranced and disquieted, as a paradise unravels.

Mythology is common to all cultures, and every attempt to trace the pattern of human development has to take it into account. It is the expression of humanity's early efforts to find an explanation for the world they lived in, for the forces that governed their life--and their need to ascribe to them the good or evil things that befell them. When man gave names to these forces he started on the path that led to the formalizing of belief, and so to religion...Here is the world's mythology presented in a highly attractive form, introduced by Jacquetta Hawkes, the celebrated anthropologist and archaeologist, and illustrated with reproductions of paintings, sculptures, textiles and books. This is an ideal introduction to a fascinating world which contains the explanation of so much of man's behavior, his fears, his superstitions and taboos, many of which, while seeming recent in time, are as old as man himself. 350p.ills.

8vo, hardcover in dj, xviii-401pp. The World of the Fullo takes a detailed look at the fullers, craftsmen who dealt with high-quality garments, of Roman Italy. Analyzing the social and economic worlds in which the fullers lived and worked, it tells the story of their economic circumstances, the way they organized their workshops, the places where they worked in the city, and their everyday lives on the shop floor and beyond. Through focusing on the lower segments of society, Flohr uses everyday work as the major organizing principle of the narrative: the volume discusses the decisions taken by those responsible for the organization of work, and how these decisions subsequently had an impact on the social lives of people carrying out the work. It emphasizes how socio-economic differences between cities resulted in fundamentally different working lives for many of their people, and that not only were economic activities shaped by Roman society, they in turn played a key role in shaping it. Using an in-depth and qualitative analysis of material remains related to economic activities, with a combined study of epigraphic and literary records, this volume portrays an insightful view of the socio-economic history of urban communities in the Roman world.
