    Rome: The First Book of Foundations

     
    Rome: The First Book of Foundations

    Description

    In this remarkable book Michel Serres doesn't just retell the stories that lie at the foundation of Rome, but takes us back to the very idea of foundation as such. With Livy as his guide, Serres brilliantly traces the way the myth, legend, history, reality and representation of Rome open on to one another. The city itself is described as a multiplicity, as Serres explores the emergence of form in history, time, space, discourse, order, and life.'
    - David Webb, Professor of Philosophy, Staffordshire University, UK

    Re-translated and introduced in this new edition, Rome is a contemporary classic.
