Strassler, Acknowledgments, Chronological Outline of Text Keyed to Book-Chapter-Section, Key to Maps, 16 Appendices by Leading Contemporary Scholars, Translator's Notes, Cross-Reference Table of Related Passages in Xenophon's 'Hellenika', Diodorus' 'Histories' & the 'Hellenica Oxyrhynchia', Glossary, Ancient Sources Cited in this Edition of Xenophon's 'Hellenika', Bibliography for the General Reader, Figure Credits, Index, Reference Maps & Directory * ABOUT THE BOOK: From the editor of the widely praised 'The Landmark Thucydides' & 'The Landmark Herodotus', here is a new edition of 'Xenophon's Hellenika', the primary source for the events of the final 7 years & aftermath of the Peloponnesian War. 'Hellenika' covers the years between 411 & 362 B.C, a particularly dramatic period during which the alliances among Athens, Sparta, Thebes, & Persia were in constant flux. Together w/ the volumes of Herodotus & Thucydides, it completes an ancient narrative of the military & political history of classical Greece. Xenophon was an Athenian who participated in the expedition of Cyrus the Younger against Cyrus' brother, the Persian King Artaxerces II. Later Xenophon joined the Spartan army & hence was exiled from Athens. In addition to the 'Hellenika', a number of his essays have survived, including one on his memories of his teacher, Socrates. Beautifully illustrated, heavily annotated, & filled w/ detailed, clear maps, this edition gives us a new, authoritative, & completely accessible translation by John Marincola, a comprehensive introduction by David Thomas, 16 appendices written by leading classics scholars, & an extensive time-line-chronology to clarify this otherwise confusing period. Unlike any other edition of the 'Hellenika', it also includes the relevant texts of Diodorus Siculus & the Oxyrhynchus Historian, w/ explanatory footnotes & a table that correlates passages of the three works, which is perhaps crucial to an assessment of Xenophon's reliability & quality as a historian. Like the two Landmark editions that precede it, 'The Landmark Xenophon's Hellenika' is the most readable & comprehensive edition available of an essential history. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: ROBERT B. STRASSLER is an unaffiliated scholar who holds an honorary Doctorate of Humanities & Letters from Bard College & is chairman of the Aston Magna Foundation for Music & the Humanities. He lives in Brookline, Massachusetts. JOHN MARINCOLA is the Leon Golden Professor of Classics at Florida State University. He is the author & editor of many books about Greek & Roman historiography & has translated a number of classical texts. He lives in Florida. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee of $16.00 & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted below-cost rates. …

These 5 narratives present a comprehensive picture of military & political developments leading to the collapse of the Roman republic & the advent of the Roman Empire. THE GALLIC WAR is Caesar's own account of his 2 invasions of Britain & of conquering most of what is today France, Belgium, & Switzerland. THE CIVIL WAR describes the conflict in the following year which, after the death of his chief rival, Pompey, & the defeat of Pompey's heirs & supporters, resulted in Caesar's emergence as the sole power in Rome. Accompanying Caesar's own commentaries are 3 short but essential additional works, known to us as THE ALEXANDRIAN WAR, THE AFRICAN WAR, & THE SPANISH WAR. These were written by 3 unknown authors who were clearly eyewitnesses & probably Roman officers. Caesar's clear & direct prose provides a riveting depiction of ancient warfare & not incidentally a persuasive portrait for the Roman people (and for us) of Caesar himself as a brilliant, moderate, & effective leader—an image that was key to his final success. KURT A. RAAFLAUB's masterful translation skillfully brings out the clarity & elegance of Caesar's style & this together w/ such LANDMARK features as maps, detailed annotations, appendices, & illustrations provide every reader from lay person to scholar w/ a richly rewarding experience. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Stunning .

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. The Little Bookroom's reprint of the 1949 Harper & Bros. edition, With a New Introduction by Roger Angell, in a later printing. 56pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "In the summer of 1948, E. B. White sat in a New York City hotel room and, sweltering in the summer heat, wrote a remarkable, pristine essay, HERE IS NEW YORK. Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, the author's stroll around Manhattan--with the reader arm-in-arm--remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America's foremost literary figures. Like most of White's prose (his essays, his 'Talk of the Town' columns, The Elements of Style), this book is of modest length. Yet, like Charlotte's Web, it speaks more eloquently about what lasts and what really matters than other, more expansive pieces. The New York Times has chosen HERE IS NEW YORK as one of the ten best books ever written about the grand metropolis. The New Yorker calls it 'the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city.' This edition of HERE IS NEW YORK marks the 100th anniversary of E. B. White's birth, and appears with a new introduction by Roger Angell." [jacket copy] "Just to dip into this miraculous essay--to experience the wonderful lightness and momentum of its prose, its supremely casual air and surprisingly tight knit--is to find oneself going ahead and rereading it all. White's homage feels as fresh now as fifty years ago."--John Updike. "HERE IS NEW YORK, a lovely evocation of the spirit of the city, is even more a startlingly vivid picture of a particular time. You sweat with White in his un-air-conditioned hotel room and walk down the streets of 1948. The ride is a great one; the writing is good enough to bottle."--Lucy Sante. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a handsome, intact jacket. Quite presentable.…
