First Edition of Peter Green's The Laughter of Aphrodite; Signed by Him
First edition of this work by the award-winning novelist. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by the author on the title page, "Peter Green with the author's best wishes." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Best-selling classicist Peter Green recreates the life and times of the Greek lyric poet Sappho in this beautifully conceived, sharply detailed work of historical imagination. We meet Sappho at the age of fifty, when she is shaken by her fatal and final love affair with Phaon. She narrates her own story from the vantage point of self-questioning middle age, and her candid meditations make intimate, engrossing reading.
