Describing Greece
The Periegesis Hellados (Description of Greece) by Pausanias is the most important example of non-fictional travel literature in ancient Greek. With this work Professor Hutton provides the first book-length literary study of the Periegesis Hellados in nearly one hundred years. He examines Pausanias' arrangement and expression of his material and evaluates his authorial choices in light of the contemporary literary currents of the day and in light of the cultural milieu of the Roman empire in the time of Hadrian and the Antonines. The descriptions offered in the Periegesis Hellados are also examined in the context of the archaeological evidence available for the places Pausanias visited. This study reveals Pausanias to be a surprisingly sophisticated literary craftsman and a unique witness to Greek identity at a time when that identity was never more conflicted.

The Empty City
What would you do if you were the only one in a deserted city? Where would you go, and what would you do? Follow a child s wondrous and daring journey as he finds himself alone no Mums, no crowds, no rules in an empty city. This innovative picture book filled with brilliant illustrations that will captivate any child s imagination taps into a fantasy that most of us have had as children to be allowed to explore, unhindered, the ordinarily crowded and regulated environment of a shopping centre. The Empty City is a book about getting lost and getting found, and finding that it s people that make a city; not just the buildings full of things for them to buy. The Empty City has been assisted by the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
