“The queen of classics” Spectator
“Mary Beard is the best in the business” Dan Snow
“Outstanding” Guardian
“Fascinating” Sunday Times
The most famous classical female voice of Britain asks: what are cultures?
Central to this vast question are the ways in which we have depicted the human and the divine from prehistory to the present day. And in such iconic creations as Angkor Wat, the mosaics of Ravenna, and the terracotta army of China, an ancient representation of the human body continues to influence (or distort) the way people in the West view not only their own culture but also that of others.
From idolatry to iconoclasm, Mary Beard sheds light on the artists who created art, as well as those who used it, viewed it, or interpreted it - and asks how to look with the eye of faith.
