![]() Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 3.5 stars ( ![]() Tal vez demasiado largo para un amateur de la historia como yo, no se se me hizo pesado Por Peter Brown, profesor de la Universidad de Princeton. Evelyne Patlagean, profesora de la Universidad de París X Nanterre. Michel Rouche, profesor de la Universidad de Lille III, Yvon Thébert, profesor agregado de la Escuela normal superior de Saint Cloud Centro de Historia Urbana. Paul Veyne, profesor del Colegio de Francia. Dense, interesting, uneven. I didn’t realize this was translated from French. I don’t think I’ve reached for the dictionary this often in quite a while. Much more like a textbook than I was expecting, it’s a collection of essays, not the History Channel overview I was expecting. As someone who hasn’t studied much of this time it did give me a completely different perspective, although I suspect everyone would not agree with the picture presented here.

First of the widely celebrated and sumptuously illustrated series, this book reveals in intimate detail what life was really like in the ancient world. Behind the vast panorama of the pagan Roman empire, the reader discovers the intimate daily lives of citizens and slaves--from concepts of manhood and sexuality to marriage and the family, the roles of women, chastity and contraception, techniques of childbirth, homosexuality, religion, the meaning of virtue, and the separation of private and public spaces. The emergence of Christianity in the West and the triumph of Christian morality with its emphasis on abstinence, celibacy, and austerity is startlingly contrasted with the profane and undisciplined private life of the Byzantine Empire. Using illuminating motifs, the authors weave a rich, colorful fabric ornamented with the results of new research and the broad interpretations that only masters of the subject can provide.
