Or some pots of paint abandoned as Vesuvius erupted? In fact, why bother with the distant past at all? In \u003cem\u003eTalking Classics\u003c\/em\u003e, Mary Beard points up the surprising connections between antiquity and modernity and shows that the life, art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome have something to offer everyone and are not the exclusive property of the elite. They help us to enter the world of people who lived long ago - from angry landlords to giggling senators - and to look harder at our own, to see it differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom revolutionaries to dictators, and from Bob Dylan to Beyoncé, Mary Beard invokes the varied modern characters who have engaged with the Greeks and Romans. It's not compulsory, she insists, to be excited by the ancient world - but it's a shame not to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eForfatter: \u003cspan class=\"titlename authorheadingfixup\"\u003eMary Beard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMål: H: 22,3 cm. x B: 14,4 cm.\u003cbr\u003eSide antal: 198\u003cbr\u003eForlag:  Profile Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003eUdgivet: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glyptoteket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57502784061823,"sku":"106215","price":189.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/7005\/3247\/files\/Mary_Beard_Talking_Classics.jpg?v=1778577480","url":"https:\/\/shop.glyptoteket.dk\/products\/talking-classics","provider":"Glyptoteket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
