"Athens' Darling" tells the story of a brilliant and handsome Athenian general who falls in love with a beautiful slave girl, Timandra... They meet at times but she is owned by Alcibiades' bitter enemy, Hiero, who revels in the knowledge that Alcibiades by Athenian law, cannot take Timandra from him. It is also the story of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, in which Alcibiades rises to power and to lead the Athenian army. She is still the slave of Hiero who, with his followers are plotting to kill Alcibiades. Timandra discovers this, escapes and flees to the man she loves to warn him. Some events in Alcibiades' life in this book are based on historical fact--his appeal to women, his marriage to his first wife, the decision of the Athenians to send him to conquer Sicily, and the rise of a faction which sought to kill him. Also factual is his switching his allegiance to Sparta after this, his affair with the Spartan queen Timaea, and his return to power in Athens. Some of the characters are also actual people that lived in the 5th Century B.C., including the general Nicias and Socrates, Alcibiades' friend and mentor. Also factual are the plague that struck Athens, the accepted use of brothels, the use and abuse of slaves, and the Olympic games. What is fictional is the life of Timandra. All that is recorded about her is that she was a slave girl who was with Alcibiades when he died and arranged his funeral.

When Jemima Shore offers to flat-sit for her friend Chloe, the last thing she is expecting is threatening anonymous phone calls on her very first night. A vicious assault by Chloe's ex-lover the next morning forces Jemima to accept that she knows very little about her friend's life. Fuming, she decides to confront her. But then she realises that Chloe never reached her destination ... and Jemima is not the only person trying to get in touch with her. It seems she was playing a dangerous game - and Jemima has been left with the aftermath. The only trouble is, Chloe was playing with some of the most influential people in London - people who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden.

This classic text, which contains the complete Greek text of the Apology and of Crito with other selections, offers an introduction to Plato’s language as well as an introduction to Socrates as presented by Plato. These two goals determined Lewis Leaming Forman’s ample selection of passages from the writings of Plato. Forman’s detailed and helpful notes enhance appreciation of how Greek prose—particularly Plato’s—produces its effects. They include helpful discussions of syntax, the uses of particles, the effects of word order, and rhetorical devices. Forman also includes an appendix with an additional set of notes containing information chiefly on various syntactic patterns in the Greek language. Particularly suitable for second-, third-, or fourth-year students of Greek, this volume is also a useful resource for the Platonic scholar.

The second volume of exuberant, lively letters from legendary travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor The first collection of letters from Patrick Leigh Fermor, Dashing for the Post, delighted critics and public alike. This second volume, More Dashing, presents a further selection of letters that exude a zest for life and adventure characteristic of the man known to all as 'Paddy'. Paddy's exuberant letters contain glimpses of the great and the good: a chance conversation with the Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, when Paddy opens the wrong door, or a glass of ouzo under the pine trees with Harold Macmillan. They describe encounters with such varied figures as Jackie Onassis, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Oswald Mosley and Peter Mandelson, while also relating adventures with the humble: a 'pick-nick' with the stonemasons at Kardamyli, or a drunken celebration in the Cretan mountains with his old comrades from the Resistance, most of them simple shepherds and goatherds. Paddy was at ease in any company – unfailingly charming, boyish, gentle and fun. Patrick Leigh Fermor has long been recognised as one of the greatest travel writers of his time. Nowhere is his restless curiosity and delight in language more dazzlingly displayed than in his letters, skilfully edited in this collection by Adam Sisman.
