About This Item
Baltimore, Maryland: John Hopkins University Press, 1986. Hardcover. VG (bump to spine top w/ creasing to edges. dustjacket has rubbed edge-wear; rubbing to corners & spine ends w/ some tears to those areas.). grey boards w/ black cloth spine, silver printing. book xxiv, 367 pgs w/ bw illustrations. black dustjacket w/ orange illustration & printing. A nice, sharp copy. Appears to be lightly read and handdled. "The black hunter travels through the mountains and forests of Greek mythology, living on the frontier of the city-state, of adulthood, of class, of ethics, of sexuality. Taking its title from this figure, The Black Hunter approaches the Greek world from its margins and charts the elaborate system of oppositions that pervaded Greek culture and society: cultivated and wild, citizen and foreigner, real and imaginary, god and man. Organizing his discussions around four principle themes space and time; youth and warriors; women, slaves, and artisans; and the city of vision and of reality Pierre Vidal-Naquet focuses on the congruence of the textual and the actual, on the patterns that link literary, philosophical, and historical works with such social activities as war, slavery, education, and commemoration. The Black Hunter probes the interplay of world view, language, and social practice "to bring into dialogue that which does not naturally communicate according to the usual criteria of historical judgement."--Amazon.
