Novelas, películas, teatro, moda, turismo dan fe del innegable atractivo que sigue ejerciendo, pasados más de dos mil años, el mundo clásico en nuestros días. A cargo de los prestigiosos especialistas Mary Beard y John Henderson, esta breve introducción nos lleva, con un original planteamiento, a captar y distinguir las variadísimas imbricaciones de la antigüedad grecolatina y los numerosos frutos que ha alumbrado a lo largo de la historia, desde Virgilio a Poussin y Evelyn Waugh, de Demócrito a Karl Marx, de las ruinas de un templo en la recóndita Arcadia a James Frazer. Un libro vivaz, de amena lectura, rebosante de anécdotas, que no sólo rompe una lanza a favor de la cultura clásica, sino que sienta su importancia insoslayable para la comprensión y construcción del mundo actual.
