Ilustration Concering Books História da Vida Privada (A History of Private Life #1)

First of the widely celebrated and sumptuously illustrated series, this book reveals in intimate detail what life was really like in the ancient world. Behind the vast panorama of the pagan Roman empire, the reader discovers the intimate daily lives of citizens and slaves--from concepts of manhood and sexuality to marriage and the family, the roles of women, chastity and contraception, techniques of childbirth, homosexuality, religion, the meaning of virtue, and the separation of private and public spaces.

The emergence of Christianity in the West and the triumph of Christian morality with its emphasis on abstinence, celibacy, and austerity is startlingly contrasted with the profane and undisciplined private life of the Byzantine Empire. Using illuminating motifs, the authors weave a rich, colorful fabric ornamented with the results of new research and the broad interpretations that only masters of the subject can provide.

An excellent collection of essays for those interested in private life in Roman antiquity and how it changed over the centuries. While having a general understanding of the political, cultural, and economic contours of "Mediterranean history" broadly construed is a useful prerequisite, I think that even the only moderately-informed reader will get a lot out of this book. Most remarkable, I think, is the degree to which the authors help us see private life, as much as the evidence permits and



Parts were absolutely fascinating, other parts bored me, not because of bad writing or poor scholarship (quite the opposite) but just because there's only so much interest I have in the physical architecture of the Roman Domus. Reading this was certainly a commitment, but I definitely learned a lot about the private live of the Ancient Romans and the early Franks, so that makes it worth it.

Mmmmmm...not so convinced about this Annales school of wotsit...the first book of Marc Bloch's Feudal Society had similar flaws. Much of this history is fussy, timid, non-committal and 'jaunty', in that it lurches about then with a grand histrionic swoosh, it drills down into a micro-focus on the most unexpected and undeserving subjects. Such spurts are usually contingent upon source material...all in all, a rather incontinent study. A gradual, unwanted discharge of factual, historical driblets

This, the first volume of what I believe has become a series of five, is a cultural history of ancient Rome by means of an assemblage of essays on various topics by an international cast of authorities. To put together such a collection in a coherent manner is no mean feat as the far inferior subsequent volume on mediaeval life demonstrates. Here, however, the editors pull it off.A valuable supplement to the usual political and high culture histories of Rome.

This book is the product of the methodology created by the annales school of historians in france. Founded in the late 20's, the Annales school pioneered the use of the methods and teachings from other schools of social science in the service of history. This approach spurned a focus on wars and politics in favor of a focus on "everyday life" i.e. the life of non-presidents and generals. The general editors of this book (Durby and Aries) were pioneers of the approach, along with it's most famous

This is a to-read. Damn new GR tool that doesn't let me change shelves on the crappy old IE at work.
