{"product_id":"dinner-with-persephone","title":"Patricia Storace: Dinner with Persephone [1997] hardback","description":"This volume explores the complicated relationship betwee the idea of classical Greece and the messy, Mediterranean reality of a country unsure of its place in the world. Modern Greece is the strangest nation in Europe, insisting on its privileged place as the \"cradle of democracy\", while offering a less-than-perfect form of democracy to its own minorities and its female population. This is the country that turned itself upside down over the adoption of the name of \"Macedonia\" by a former Yugoslav republic, as though Alexander the Great's nationality were a matter of extreme contemporary urgency. Patricia Storace begins by telling of her first day in Greece. She brings to bear on modern Greece a deep knowledge of the classics, of the Greek myths and of Greek Christianity. She is the author o f \"Heredity\", a book of poems.","brand":"Storace, Patricia","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48928160285011,"sku":"XG81862070332","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/storace-patricia-dinner-with-persephone-xg81862070332-56928400736595.jpg?v=1727490187","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/dinner-with-persephone","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
