Classics in the Age of Indiscretion

Maurizio Bettini

Synopsis:
In the tradition of those authors such as David Denbys who have stressed the value of reading and returning to the classics, this book offers insightful observations on our conception of fame and its intersections with our lives, public and private. From the prespective of our millenial change--and with an interesting digression on our preocupation with such temporal markers--this text shows what it means to be modern through the eyes of the ancients.
