Presents the story of the discovery of Knossos, the ancient lost palace of King Minos on the island of Crete in the early twentieth century by English archaeologist Arthur Evans. Original. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Farnoux's 'archaeology of a dream' - the French title of this splendid little book - is the primary source for the general reader interested in the historiography of excavations at Knossos and in Crete. But the real value lies, I believe, in the reconstructions he has comissioned of the palace, and in his choice of current discoveries in Crete. Strongly recommended for students and travellers alike.
