HEROES

by Lucy Hughes-Hallett

Published by Fourth Estate. 1st. 2004

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Saviours, Traitors and Supermen. Beginning beneath the walls of Troy, ending in 1930s Europe when the cult of the hero was turning politically lethal, this is a book about mortality and dictatorship, about money and sorcery, about seduction and mass-hysteria. The author explores the ancient but still politically potent phenomenon of hero-worship through the careers of eight extraordinary men. Black boards, gilt title to spine. Illustrations and photos.

Bumping to spine. Some light page browning. Wrapper is edge-creased.
