Engaging Greece

«Engaging Greece», which Gaspаров himself called «his main work on antiquity», has undergone more than a dozen reprints but continues to be popular with both schoolchildren and adult readers.

The author provides a detailed account of the history of Ancient Greece from the Dorian invasion to the Roman conquest. In his narrative, dry facts turn into an exciting journey through the cradle of European culture and civilization.
