Book Club Associates, London, 1976 reprint edition. Cloth, 8vo,. xvi, 422 pp. The ancient and elaborate civilization, which was first revealed by Schliemann and more fully disclosed by the excavations of Sir Arthur Evans in Crete dating from 1900, is here described for us by Professor Glotz in a style of amazing richness, informed throughout by sound and comprehensive scholarship. This people, who lived so long in luxury and peace, who cultivated the arts with such a highly developed aesthetic sense, who finally passed so much of their heritage to ancient Greece, hold an important place in the history of civilization." - from the blurb. Very Good in a dustwrapper which is very heavily sunned around the spine.
