{"product_id":"faces-of-power-andrew-stewart-9780520068513","title":"Faces of Power: Alexander's Image and Hellenistic Politics Volume 11","description":"Alexander the Great changed the face of the ancient world. During his life and after his death, his image in works of art exerted an unprecedented influence-on marbles, bronzes, ivories, frescoes, mosaics, coins, medals, even painted pottery and reliefware. Alexander's physiognomy became the most famous in history. But can we really know what meaning lies behind these images?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Stewart demonstrates that these portraits--wildly divergent in character, quality, type, provenance, date, and purpose--actually transmit not so much a \u003ci\u003elikeness\u003c\/i\u003e of Alexander as a set of carefully crafted clich駸 that mobilize the \u003ci\u003enotion\u003c\/i\u003e \"Alexander\" for diverse ends and diverse audiences. Stewart discusses the portraits as studies in power and his original interpretation of them gives unprecedented fullness and shape to the idea and image called \"Alexander.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520068513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520068513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.30w x 2.00d","brand":"Andrew Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072617017599,"sku":"9780520068513","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1717590f-2aa5-4476-92bc-78e63475b79a.jpg?v=1685443035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faces-of-power-andrew-stewart-9780520068513","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
