Literature: history & criticism

Hardback. Through a subtle reading of the writings of Homer, Virgil, and Hannah Arendt, Barbara Cassin produces an in-depth analysis, at once scholarly and personal, of nostalgia.

Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DSBD; HP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 237 x 159 x 15. Weight in Grams: 270.
