Anabasis (9780806113470)



Born in the latter half of the fifth century B.C. near Athens, Xenophon enjoyed the best of educational and social advantages and for a time was a pupil and friend of Socrates. In 401 B.C., however, he was led by promises of adventure and fortune to join the ill-fated expedition of Cyrus against his brother, Artaxerxes the Second of Persia. After Cyrus lost his life and the other officers were murdered, Xenophon became one of the leading spirits of the army, eventually exacting revenge on the Persians, then retiring to Scillus, in Elis, to a life of sporting and literary activity. It was there that he composed the Anabasis, or "Up-Country March," a painstaking but brightly written account of the expedition and his life as a Greek soldier that has endured through the ages.

A clearly written historical and literary introduction, copious notes to the text, and a complete vocabulary make this book invaluable to beginning and advanced students alike.

The Barcelona Album : Unretouched sensuality - Photographs by Daniel Bauer (9783952442616)

Swiss photographer DANIEL BAUER showcases his photographic work with the beautiful young women of the magic city of Barcelona. Often provocative, always intense, sexy and emotional fine art nudes that show the female beauty of authentic, self confident and modern women. During the last 5 years Daniel Bauer photographed many women in Barcelona. He encouraged them to explore their sensuality in front of his camera without limits and invited them to move freely without imitating the typical glamour poses or pretending something they didn't feel. The beautiful young women who revealed themselves from their most sensual sides are amateur models and most of them have never before been photographed in the nude. The results of these photo sessions are images of an exceptionally strong sensual vibrancy. Despite of the modern and young look of the photographs, Daniel Bauer sees himself as an old school photographer. Instead of adding effects or enhancing pictures using editing software, he w
