«La Atenas de Pericles» is the historical essay by C. M. Bowra, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (253 pages, in Spanish).
Bowra analyses fifth-century BC Athens, from the victory over the Persians at Salamis to the Peloponnesian War. Pericles embodies the age, but the key to its splendour was democracy: it released the creative energy of the Athenians and established a model of government that has inspired struggles for freedom.
Original title: Periclean Athens; translation by Alicia Yllera. El Libro de bolsillo collection, 514, Humanities section.
For readers of history and classical culture interested in fifth-century BC Athens and the origins of democracy.
