recommendable book,
By SEBASTIANVS "libra64" (TOKYO Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homosexuality in the Ancient World (Studies in Homosexuality) (Hardcover)
This is a very interesting and readable book not only for gay people but also for bisexual/heterosexual-inclined people. However I was a little bit dissapointed when I received the book, since I expected from the title a comprehensive and more systematic volume, but it is an omnibus-styled book collected from French, German and English theses. And editor's introduction is not sufficient , lacking historical survey of homosexuality in the ancient world---- for example I could not find any research on the famous male-boy marriage of Hittite law. In addition some pages of E. Bethe's copy are blurred-printed or rather almost obliterated making them difficult to read. Although noticing these weak points, I highly recommend this book for serious readers because of its excellent quality and minute research.P.S. I wonder what is "Ancient World" for English-speaking people, since most of "Ancient" History books written in English are limited mainly about the Mediterranean region with Mesopotamia and excluded many other ancient worlds, e.g. ancient India, ancient China, ancient Japan, ancient America, etc.
