About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1993. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear, mild bumps to corner, text clean, binding tight/DJ VG: mild shelf wear, not clipped.. 8vo 403pp. from front flap: "Already an international literary event, and translated into a dozen languages, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony is a book without any modern parallel. Forming an active link in a chain that reaches back through Ovid's Metamorphoses directly to Homer, Roberto Calasso's reexploration of the fantastic fables we may think we know explodes the entire world of Greek mythology, pieces it back together as it once must have been, and presents it to us in a new, astonishing, and utterly contemporary way." #02500.
