"Now re-issued in a third, updated edition, this book provides a concise, illustrated introduction to the modern history of Greece, from the first stirrings of the national movement in the late eighteenth century to the present day. The current economic crisis has marked a turning point in the country's history. This third edition includes a new final chapter, which analyses contemporary political, economic and social developments. It includes additional illustrations together with updated tables and suggestions for further reading. Designed to provide a basic introduction, the first edition of this hugely successful Concise History won the Runciman Award for the best book on an Hellenic topic published in 1992 and has been translated into twelve languages"-- "All countries are burdened by their history, but the past weighs particularly heavily on Greece. It is still, regrettably, a commonplace to talk of 'modern Greece' and of 'modern Greek' as though 'Greece' and 'Greek' must necessarily refer to the ancient world. The burden of antiquity has been both a boon and a bane. The degree to which the language and culture of the ancient Greek world was revered throughout Europe (and, indeed, in the United States where some of the founding fathers were nurtured on the classics) during the critical decades of the national revival in the early nineteenth century was a vital factor in stimulating in the Greeks themselves, or at least in the nationalist intelligentsia, a consciousness that they were the heirs to a heritage that was universally admired"-- 29854 HISTORY / Europe / General. bisacsh 14463 Greece History 1821- 14464 Cover image http://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/32897/cover/9781107032897.jpg ddc BK 35467 35467 0 0 ddc 0 949_500000000000000_CLO 0 55779 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2015-09-08 Riza Enterprise 2158.00 2 2 949.5 CLO 3010029854 2019-09-15 2019-09-11 1 2015-09-08 BK 0 0 ddc 0 949_500000000000000_CLO 0 55789 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2015-09-08 Riza Enterprise 2158.00 1 5 949.5 CLO 3010029855 2024-11-13 2024-09-17 2 2015-09-08 BK
