First published in 2006. The Polis or City-State was the most
striking feature of Ancient Greece, and its evolved form is one of
the most important contributions of the Greeks to Western
civilisation. In this classic study of the Greek city which
combines history and sociology, Glotz traces the evolution of the
Greek institutions, their essential characteristics, details of
their construction and the underlying concepts that created and
sustained them, mixing description and analytical insight, always
remembering that human societies are not theoretical abstractions,
but are comprised of living beings. Glotz's unique sensitivity to
the many aspects of the Polis have made this volume required
reading for all those interested in classical civilisation and
ancient history and politics for over seventy years and there are
many thought-provoking parallels with the politics of today.
