And everytime I want to read "Travelling with Herodotus" - I wonder if I should finish "The Histories" first. I understand your dilemma. <BR/><BR/><B>Jean Pierre</B> I loved the look of the book too. It's the copy of Herodotus's <I>The Histories</I> that Ralph Fiennes's character carried around with him in <I>The English Patient</I>. It has the whole feel of a well-thumbed volume, weather-beaten and well-travelled. <BR/><BR/>It's a book that was loved. I had to use the picture when I did the Herodotus post. :)darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-67440192672663515292007-08-09T14:51:00.000+08:002007-08-09T14:51:00.000+08:00i know this has nothing to do with the post but i ...i know this has nothing to do with the post but i absolutely love that photo you've posted of the book! its just gorgeous!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-40618780201557717082007-08-07T20:38:00.000+08:002007-08-07T20:38:00.000+08:00Oh, you have more discipline that I do :)Oh, you have more discipline that I do :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-53333661730888643412007-08-07T06:52:00.000+08:002007-08-07T06:52:00.000+08:00I'm getting my toes wet with Kapuscinski.
