| Summary, etc |
"We think we know ancient Greece, the civilization that shares the same name as its modern incarnation and which gave us just about everything that defines 'western' culture today, in the arts, sciences, social sciences and politics. Yet, as Greece has been brought under repeated scrutiny during the financial crises that have convulsed the country since 2010, worldwide coverage has revealed just how poorly we grasp the modern nation. This book sets out to understand contemporary Greeks on their own terms.<br/>How did Greece come to be so powerfully attached to the legacy of the ancients in the first place, and then define an identity for itself that is at once Greek and modern? This book reveals the remarkable achievement, during the last 300 years, of building a modern nation on, sometimes literally, the ruins of a vanished civilization. This is the story of the Greek nation-state but also, and perhaps more fundamentally, of the collective identity that goes with it. It is not only a history of events and high politics, it is also a history of culture, of the arts, of people and of ideas." -- Publisher's description. |
