Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. Chaironeia, 2012. Texto en neerlandés. Holandés. 472 pp. 24 x 15. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados. Perfecto estado de conservación. ISBN: 9789076792200. Tijdens de grote volksverhuizingen van het tweede millennium v.C. kwamen volkeren uit West-Europa, Achaeërs of Zeevolken genaamd, naar het Middellandse-Zeegebied om zich er vreedzaam te vestigen of het land te plunderen en plat te branden. Zij zorgden voor de ondergang van talrijke beschavingen, met name van de paleisculturen in Griekenland. Herodotus vertelt dat lang voor zijn tijd Pelasgen (=Zeevolken) zich in Griekenland hadden gevestigd, veel plaatsen andere namen hadden gegeven en onder andere ook Athene hadden gesticht. Homero. La Ilíada. La Odisea. Met de Achaeërs kwamen hun goden en hun mondelinge overlevering in dichtvorm mee, waaronder de Ilias en de Odyssee, die rond 750 v.C. in de voertaal, het Grieks, werden opgeschreven. Gedurende de eeuwen daarvoor hadden de nieuwkomers steden, rivieren en bergen de hun bekende namen van het oude vaderland gegeven. Dat gaf de Grieken het idee dat de verhalen van Homerus zich in hun regio hadden afgespeeld, dat de Achaeërs Grieken waren geweest en Troje ook in deze regio te vinden moest zijn. Zo is de oorsprong van de Trojanen en Grieken in vergetelheid geraakt en de wereld achter de teksten van Homerus verloren gegaan. De bedoeling van dit boek is deze verloren wereld terug te vinden, de wereld van de epische verhalen van Homerus.

Classic cover design w/bold white titles over wrap-around midnight blue shot of large stone cross along ruddy rolling pathway by Brian Skilton. The fascinating revelation of one of ancient history's greatest mysteries. Arguing that the events described in The Iliad and The Odyssey happened not in the Eastern Mediterranean, but in North-West Europe and the North Atlantic, Iman Wilkens goes further than merely tracing connections between Britain and Troy. The Homeric tales, Wilkins claims, do not fit the topography, geology, climate or oceanic tidal patterns of the Eastern Mediterranean. The book argues that the Aegean/Mediterranean place-names, like the European names in North America (Washington, Troy, Cambridge, Briton, etc) were established much later. By examining the texts in detail, Iman Wilkens, identifies over 400 place-names in western Europe and concludes that the original oral version was composed by Homer several hundred years before it was written down. Wilkins reveals that the Trojan War was fought on a far larger scale than previously thought, by Celts from regions as far apart as Scaninavia and Spain, and that the Odyssey provided an oral map for Celtic seafarers. An extraordinary and enlightening journey into prehistory as exciting as the voyage of Odysseus. Many of the puzzling aspects of Homer's epic fall into place and enable the reader to grasp the meaning and significance of Europe's oldest literary masterpieces. Appendices, bibliography, index. 365 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition with complete number line and "First U.S. Edition: July 1991" on the copyright page. Reputedly, one of the sources of inspiration for Clive Cussler's "Trojan Gold." "At last Troy and the Trojan War has been found and its battlefield completely reconstructed from the scattered but very detailed information given in Homer's Iliad. Troy in England is, however unbelievable at first sight, fully explained in this amazing work which provides detailed arguments of all sorts including geographic and linguistic evidence as well as countless archaeological finds. Although the Iliad was written in ancient Greek, the war was not waged by Greeks and not caused by the abduction of Helen. The real cause was access to tin in Britain, a precious metal which was essential for the production of bronze. During the second millenium BC, the tales of the greatest war of prehistory were orally transmitted by Sea Peoples migrating from western Europe to the Mediterranean. This is why traces of the war could not be found near Hissarlik in Turkey, the site previously believed to be that of Homer's Troy. --From the Troy in England. NF/NF in crisp black paper-covered boards stamped brightly in gilt on the spine. Virtually as new and unread. In a crisp, striking dustjacket with the original price of $24.95 on the inside front flap. A superb, collectible copy. First Edition with complete number line and "First U.S. Edition: July 1991" on the copyright page.
