Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive and deeply insightful work that restores the lost Menander, one of the most celebrated Greek poets in antiquity. Archaeologist Gustave Lefebvre's 1907 discovery of papyrus fragments now allows readers to reconnect with the plays of the third-century Athenian writer. In this volume, Menander's work is contextualized relative to the history of ancient Greek theater while also highlighting the authorâs timeless insights on humanity. Restorations of Menander approaches this lost playwright as a living artist, bringing his unique characterizations and humanity's common experiences back to life. The author displays an extraordinary appreciation of Greek literature and language and provides a thorough analysis that illuminates Menander's creative world. This book is an invaluable contribution to the intellectual and cultural history of the Western world and an essential resource for understanding one of antiquity's foremost literary figures.
