Download or read book Introducing the Ancient Greeks From Bronze Age Seafarers to Navigators of the Western Mind written by Edith Hall and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wonderful…a thoughtful discussion of what made [the Greeks] so important, in their own time and in ours." —Natalie Haynes, Independent The ancient Greeks invented democracy, theater, rational science, and philosophy. They built the Parthenon and the Library of Alexandria. Yet this accomplished people never formed a single unified social or political identity. In Introducing the Ancient Greeks, acclaimed classics scholar Edith Hall offers a bold synthesis of the full 2,000 years of Hellenic history to show how the ancient Greeks were the right people, at the right time, to take up the baton of human progress. Hall portrays a uniquely rebellious, inquisitive, individualistic people whose ideas and creations continue to enthrall thinkers centuries after the Greek world was conquered by Rome. These are the Greeks as you’ve never seen them before.

Book excerpt: The Glorious Foods of Greece is the magnum opus of Greek cuisine, the first book that takes the reader on a long and fascinating journey beyond the familiar Greece of blue-and-white postcard images and ubiquitous grilled fish and moussaka into the country's many different regions, where local customs and foodways have remaained intact for eons. The journey is both personal and inviting. Diane Kochilas spent nearly a decade crisscrossing Greece's Pristine mountains, mainland, and islands, visiting cooks, bakers, farmers, shepherds, fishermen, artisan producers of cheeses, charcuterie, olives, olive oil, and more, in order to document the country's formidable culinary traditions. The result is a paean to the hitherto uncharted glories of local Greek cooking and regional lore that takes you from mountain villages to urban tables to seaside tavernas and island gardens. In beautiful prose and with more than four hundred unusual recipes -- many of them never before recorded --invites us to a Greece few visitors ever get to see. Along the way she serves up feast after feast of food, history, and culture from a land where the three have been intertwined since time immemorial. In an informed introduction, she sets the historic framework of the cuisine, so that we clearly see the differences among the earthy mountain cookery, the sparse, ingenious island table, and the sophisticated aromaticcooking traditions of the Greeks in diaspora. In each chapter she takes stock of the local pantry and cooking customs. From the olive-laden Peloponnesos, she brings us such unusual dishes as One-Pot Chicken Simmered with Artichokes and served with Tomato-Egg-Lemon Sauce and Vine Leaves Stuffed with Salt Cod. From the Venetian-influenced Ionian islands, she offers up such delights asPastry-Cloaked Pasta from Corfu filled with cheese and charcuterie and delicious Bread Pudding from Ithaca with zabaglione. Her mainland recipes, as well as those that hail from Greece's impenetrable northwestern mountains, offer an enticing array of dozens of delicious savory pies, unusual greens dishes, and succulent meat preparations such as Lamb with Garlic and Cheese Baked in Paper. In Macedonia she documents the complex, perfumed, urbane cuisine that defines that region. In the Aegean islands, she serves up a wonderful repertory of exotic yet simple foods, reminding us how accessible -- and healthful -- is the Greek fegional table. The result is a cookbook unlike any other that has ever been written on Greek cuisine, one that brims with the author's love and knowledge of her subject, a tribute to the vibrant, multifaceted continuum of Greek cooking, both highly informed and ever inviting. The Glorious Foods of Greece is an important work, one that contributes generously to the culinary literature and is sure to become the definitive book of Greek cuisine and culture for future generations of food lovers -- Greek and non-Greek alike.

Download or read book The Glory of Athens written by James Taris and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Taris was only nine when he fantasised about becoming an actor, but life got in the way and nothing happened for nearly forty years. By chance he saw an amateur theatre play and was so inspired to turn his childhood fantasy into reality that within six weeks he had written The Glory of Athens, a play that he performed twenty-nine times over the next twelve months - in nine countries, on five continents - while on a 400-day world tour. In this book, James goes into great detail explaining all the stages he went through to write, promote, produce and perform The Glory of Athens, his first ever play writing effort. It is an inspirational journey that will be enjoyed by budding writers and readers alike.About the Author James Taris is an accomplished author, poet, playwright, actor and public speaker. He has travelled to nineteen countries over the past three years, thus earning himself the title of a modern-day globetrotting Odysseus. He lives the life he advocates, sharing happiness and hope with audiences all over the world. An evening with James Taris can be a life-changing experience. This book reinforces his philosophy and attitude to life.Performance History I wrote The Glory of Athens in June 2003, while I was in Shanghai, China, at the beginning of my 400-Day World Tour. And I've since given quite a number of readings and performances - in theatres, halls, offices and homes - to the public and groups that have hosted me all over the world.James TarisSYNOPSIS The Glory of Athens is a comedy on overcoming adversity that has six Ancient Greek geniuses come back to life and display the characteristics which made them so successful. The six characters are Pericles, Archimedes, Socrates, Demosthenes, Homer and Odysseus. The play has some hilarious monologues from these six characters and Demi, a modern-day accountant, who is burdened with a seemingly impossible task. In a desperate bid for help, Demi prays to God, who sends the Ancient Greek goddess Athena to his aid. Athena gives Demi a bag of magical items which enable him to go back into time, around 440 BC, when the Parthenon was being built, and see these Ancient Greek masters in action, though not exactly how he'd imagined them to be. Pericles teaches him how to tackle problems by soliciting the help of the best minds available. Unfortunately, Pericles' army suffers huge losses in a recent battle, so he's now confronted with a much bigger crisis than Demi's: saving the glory of Athens. So, the focus then turns to finding someone to help Pericles solve his seemingly impossible task. Archimedes is self-centred and obsessed with his own genius, getting excited about even his smallest achievements. Socrates has just been practising and toning up his repertoire of clever arguments to confuse his opponents. Demosthenes is a smooth talker who has overcome a speech impediment by practising with a mouth full of marbles. Homer is very inspiring, and he shares, in verse, how, even though blind, he was able to use persistence and perseverance to realise his dreams. Odysseus is Pericles' last hope and in a flash of enlightenment, comes to the conclusion that we can have eternal glory by becoming the best we can be. But although each character is placed in ridiculously funny situations, they are all presented as strong role models for Demi, who gleans a little from each one on his journey to tackling he has been burdened him with. And the play builds to a very powerful conclusion, as we find out if Pericles can save The Glory of Athens, and if Demi can solve his own problem too.
