Inhaltsangabe


It’s three years since publication of The Plums of Plato. A game-changer. A disruptor. A global publishing phenomenon. If only it had been all – or just one – of these. Nevertheless, the previously unknown texts it presented cast incredible new light on the great ancient Greek philosopher and the brilliant but bawdy, brutal world he lived in.

And now a second set of long-lost texts has risen from the sludge of oblivion on a tide of public apathy...

Join underachieving, over-credulous historian-archaeologist Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech as he serves up this fresh punnet of plum finds, revealing a period and place defined by extraordinary achievements in philosophy, politics, science and the arts - and by a whopping great dollop of absolute filth.

All set for a second portion?

Note: This is a spoof work of history. Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech is a pen name. In real life, the author has a First-Class Honours Degree in Classics and a PhD in Late Antique/Early Medieval History from the University of Cambridge.
