Swahilia: An East African Surfjourn - Michael KewThe Swahili Coast is not a true surf destination. Too windy, too misplaced in the groundswell sphere. Name comes from the Arabic sawil ("of the coast"), first stuck by Arabs to the Bantu speakers from West and Central Africa who'd already staked many villages facing the blown out slop raking shallow coral reef formations fronting lagoons that today are praised by kiteboarders. Almost two decades from my first Swahili exit, I wanted to dip back into

A lot details about Thucydides himself and the history around himself with great insight into all the wars including the long Pelopnnesian war. A must read for history lovers. R.W. writes so that a "lay person" can understand all the intricate details of the greater Greek conflicts, and politics during this time in history.

It is easy to read and understand the English prose. Highly recommended.

Format: Hardcover

I am not conversant with Ancient Greek, but I decided to read this book. The prose is easy to read and understand. It uses the type of English phrasing that we would use in ordinary conversation. I found this difficult book easy to read and I value that. I don't know whether it is better or worse than any other translation of Thucydides, but I enjoyed it. Thucydides emerges as an analytical historian with a strong moral point of view and trenchant criticisms of the Athenians and their leadership. This book continues the modern trend of making classical texts easier to read by using plain English. It is much appreciated.
