Margery Lawrence

4.9/5 (23827 ratings)

Description:Miss Lawrence's earlier novel, Daughter of the Nile, based on the life of Hatshepsut, the Egyptian Queen who reigned as Pharaoh, won considerable acclaim. This time she has written the story of four young people who lived, loved and suffered in the time of Greece's greatest glory, when the great soldier-statesman Pericles ruled Athens, in everything but name its King.Bright and clear as the Greek sunshine emerges the picture of the period, the customs, food, clothes, the daily life of the characters. Among these are Symian and Orontes, Xana and Arteus, the lovers; and closely linked to their lives, Pericles and his lovely mistress Aspasia; Cleon his bitter enemy; and gaunt Anaxagoras, his friend. The dramatic story of Pericles' glory, his fall and his return to power is finely depicted; and the tale rises to its climax with a brilliant though horrifying picture of Athens under the grip of the plague.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
