Guide de Délos

par Philippe Bruneau, Jean Ducat

À l'époque où s'épanouit en Crète la civilisation des premiers palais minoens (première moitié du IIe millénaire av. n.è.), la Grèce continentale traverse une période généralement considérée comme une phase de stagnation, voire de régression : l'Helladique Moyen. La relative austérité de la culture matérielle et le caractère rudimentaire des structures sociales mésohelladiques expliquent sans doute le peu d'intérêt longtemps suscité par cette période. Or, les recherches récentes tendent à corriger cette image : l'Helladique Moyen apparaît aujourd'hui comme une période de profonds changements d'ordre social, politique et culturel qui conduisirent peu à peu à l'émergence de la civilisation mycénienne. Il a donc paru nécessaire de faire le point en organisant le premier colloque international sur l'Helladique Moyen. Le volume des actes, qui réunit près d'une centaine de contributions sur divers aspects de la culture mésohelladique, constitue ainsi le premier ouvrage entièrement consacré à l'une des périodes les plus mal connues de la protohistoire égéenne.

Ancient Egypt

[text: Giorgio Agnese, Maurizio Re

One of the most fascinating regions of Africa, the land that saw the rise and fall of the longest and most enigmatic of the Mediterranean civilizations, Egypt is full of landscapes of breathtaking beauty and artistic masterpieces, from the pyramids of Giza to the Valley of the Kings, from the Temple of Philae to Abu Simbel. Thrilling images combined with original text describe the myriad facets of a colorful and surprising land which the Ancients appropriately called "The Red and the Black," evoking the sharp contrast between the red of the scorching desert wastes and the black silt left by the flooding Nile. Within the pages of this book is an enthralling journey through a country with enduring appeal, savoring the complexity, mystery, and formidable wealth of the land of the pharaohs.
