After his monumental project, the cultural history of modern times, Egon Friedell turned his attention to the cultural history of antiquity. However, the annexation of Austria to the German Reich brought his work to an end - fleeing from the Nazis, Egon Friedell took his own life. It is thanks to his heirs that the manuscript did not fall into the hands of the Gestapo. In it, Friedell paints a subjectively colored picture of ancient Greece, creating an extraordinary historical document. With his renowned fine wit, Friedell crafts a vivid historical portrait of a bygone era. Reading by Achim Höppner, 1 mp3-CD, approximately 3 hours and 10 minutes.
