These remarkable documents of Greek social and cultural history include masterpieces of lively narrative and subtle argument prepared by such orators as Lysias, Antiphon, and Demosthenes.

Issues examined include murder, assault, property damage, embezzlement, contested legacies, illegal marriage, slander and civil rights. Also provided are comprehensive background chapters on the professions of law and rhetoric in ancient Athens and explanatory notes clarifying the course of each role.

Ring of the Nibelung

<p>"Andrew Porter's utterly natural, often poetic, faithfully rendered English text should be a revelation...The immediacy of instant comprehension gives the entire drama an added dimension."?The New York Times</p>Richard Wagner's vast Der Ring des Nibelungen cycle comprises four full-length operas (Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Gotterdammerung) and is arguably the most extraordinary achievement in the history of opera. His own libretto to the operas, translated by Andrew Porter, is an intricate system of metric patterns, imaginative metaphors and alliteration, combining to produce the music in text.

<p>The French Revolution has traditionally been viewed as a major dividing line in modern Europe's history, an event which destroyed that complex line in modern Europe's history, an event which destroyed that complex of political, social, legal and juridical institutions known as the "old regime" and inaugurated a new era characterized by a greater emphasis upon individual rights, the spread of representative government and the emergence of a new kind of loyalty to the nation. These generalizations about the French Revolution still retain much of their validity as long as they are qualified in some significant ways.</p>
