'Lucina was the ward of a Greek philosopher who called his estate near Athens, "Elysium." She was too human not to be a highly disturbing influence on the exclusively masculine society in which she grew up; too clear-sighted to accept the rigid materialism in which she was educated; too romantic to remain content with the power she gained as the founder of a cult in young Rome; too intelligent not to grow bored with her idyll in the Tuscan hills. ***So she returned to Elysium after crossing the Styx. There is no cloudy unreality about these later scenes, but the same robust characterisation, the same vividness of description which makes the story of Lucina as challenging to the reader as she was to her contemporaries.' (Quote from inside of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition in its original fragile dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
