With text by Bruno D'Agostino and a foreword by Nobel Prize-winning poet Giorgos Seferis, this lavishly illustrated volume chronicles the great architectural and artistic achievements of the Greek world — from the sun-bleached temples of the Peloponnese to the sacred heights of the Acropolis — presenting them within their rich historical and cultural context.\n\nD'Agostino writes with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a devotee, weaving together archaeology, mythology, and art history to illuminate the forces that shaped one of humanity's most consequential civilisations. The Monuments of Civilization series, of which this volume is a distinguished part, is celebrated for its breathtaking photographic documentation alongside authoritative commentary, making complex historical narratives accessible without sacrificing intellectual rigour. For anyone drawn to the ancient world, this is an indispensable volume that raises a compelling question: how much of what we call modern was, in truth, invented on a sun-drenched hillside in Greece over two thousand years ago?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572305563867,"sku":"2026200018714-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f80ca4ab-3eb8-4858-b7e7-8b2c6883d2ca.png?v=1791166272","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018714-secondhand-monuments-of-civilization-greece","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
