Críticas
A beautiful little jewel [of a book]... which impressively manages to pack in an immense amount of evidence and issues, presented in a lucid and stimulating way. (Kostas Vlassopoulos, Greece & Rome)
A fine entry-level study of the Hellenistic Age ... Highly recommended. (Choice)
A thoroughly enjoyable short book and serves as an excellent introduction to the Hellenistic age. (Conor P. Trainor, Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
Those looking to find a concise and stimulating introduction to the Hellenistic world need look no further than this excellent pocket-sized volume. (Mark Thorne, The Classical Journal)
Peter Thonemann's short, straightforward, but sharply written introductory volume, The Hellenistic Age, exemplifies a different trend, a miniature encapsulation of a complex world. (Carol Atack, Times Literary Supplement)
In displaying his enthusiasm for the diversity of the Hellenistic world and the achievements funded by its monarchies, Thonemann rightly underlines the brutality of conflicts that spread far beyond the Mediterranean. (Carol Atack, Times Literary Supplement)
Pocket-sized, highly engaging and packed full of varied and fascinating information the perfect introduction to an enthralling era. (Lucia Marchini, Minerva)
Peter Thonemann's introduction to arguably one of the most fascinating of all epochs of human history may be very short but it is also very brilliant: wide-ranging, sharply focused, and deeply illuminating. (Paul Cartledge)
most usefully, in a work that aims to inspire further investigation among sixth formers, undergraduates and interested general readers, there is an eclectic range of books and articles cited as further reading for each chapter. In a small compass Thonemann successfully evokes the great variety and complexity of Hellenistic civilisation (Claire Gruzelier, Classics for All)
Reseña del editor
The three centuries which followed the conquests of Alexander are perhaps the most thrilling of all periods of ancient history. This was an age of cultural globalization: in the third century BC, a single language carried you from the Rhône to the Indus. A Celt from the lower Danube could serve in the mercenary army of a Macedonian king ruling in Egypt, and a Greek philosopher from Cyprus could compare the religions of the Brahmins and the Jews on the basis of first-hand knowledge of both. Kings from Sicily to Tajikistan struggled to meet the challenges of ruling multi-ethnic states, and Greek city-states came together under the earliest federal governments known to history. The scientists of Ptolemaic Alexandria measured the circumference of the earth, while pioneering Greek argonauts explored the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic coast of Africa.
Drawing on inscriptions, papyri, coinage, poetry, art, and archaeology Peter Thonemann opens up the history and culture of the vast Hellenistic world, from the death of Alexander the Great (323 BC) to the Roman conquest of the Ptolemaic kingdom (30 BC).
