El mito de Esparta : Un itinerario por la cultura occidental. Segunda edición

Few ancient states and peoples have attained an aura of mystery and legend like Sparta, to the point of having established, even in antiquity, a powerful and enduring paradigm that persists to this day. From Plato, Xenophon, and Thucydides to Chateaubriand in the Romantic era, Nietzsche later on, National Socialism, and recent cinematic reinterpretations, the myth of Sparta has exerted its power of fascination almost relentlessly, serving as inspiration and a model for many (and in the most diverse fields), even when their intentions were often different, if not opposing. A leading specialist in this field, César Fornis provides us in this book with a comprehensive, rigorous, and engaging account and explanation of this phenomenon that permeates Western culture.
