Heinrich Schliemann's Selbstbiographie

(Heinrich Schliemann's Autobiography)

ISBN: 978-3-902096-41-8
Paperback, 116 pages, 24 black-and-white pictures
Price: EUR 13.00

Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890) became famous as the discoverer of Troy, Mycenae, and Tiryns. He is one of the most colorful, yet also most controversial, figures of the 19th century. He is often criticized for his excavation methods; archaeologists frequently accuse him of having destroyed more than he preserved through his excavations. Yet it is an undisputed fact that those sensational archaeological discoveries are owed to his unshakable faith in the words of Homer, his willingness to take risks, and above all, his indomitable will. The autobiography was completed after his death by his wife Sophie, a native of Greece.
In this edition, the spelling of the time has not been altered in order to preserve the book's authenticity. Translations of original passages in Ancient Greek, Latin, French, and English have been added to make the book accessible to a wider audience. Numerous illustrations have been included with the original text.

Gerhard Pöllauer: Geheimnisvolles Lemnos. Die von Frauen beherrschte Insel

(Mysterious Lemnos: The Island Ruled by Women)

ISBN: 978-3-902096-77-7
Paperback, 128 pages, 97 black-and-white pictures, 3 color photos, 1 map
Price: EUR 13.00

Located in the northern Aegean Sea, the relatively unknown Greek island of Lemnos boasts a magnificent prehistoric past. Five thousand years ago, a significant advanced civilization flourished here, featuring impressive urban complexes, massive rock-cut structures, and awe-inspiring sanctuaries. The discovery of the Early Bronze Age site at Poliochni is considered sensational. Due to its size and level of development, this settlement is considered the oldest city in Europe. Myrina in the west and Hephaistia in the north also impress with their astonishing prehistoric legacy. It is believed that a fourth urban settlement once existed in the far northeast of the island - the legendary Chryse, which sank into the sea following an earthquake.
At the same time, it is clear that women played a role in this culture that was, at the very least, equal to that of men. It was not without reason that Lemnos was characterized in antiquity as »the island ruled by women«.
