About This Item
Cambridge University Press, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. Publisher's gilt lettered hardback: firm and square, strong joints. Complete with original dustjacket, showing well. Just slightly rubbed and very mildly bumped. Hence a non-text page is stamped 'damaged'. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus it looks and feels unread with contents that are crisp, fresh and tight. Size: 235mm x 160mm. Pages: vii, 392. Fully indexed. This book explores how the ancient Greeks regarded the capacity of speech as the defining human characteristic.
