<p><b>WINNER OF THE LONDON HELLENIC PRIZE</b><br><b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE ANGLO-HELLENIC RUNICMAN AWARD</b> <br><b>A <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>AND <i>SPECTATOR</i> BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><b><br>'Essential and hugely enjoyable' Katy Hessel</b><br><br><b>'A triumph ... an extraordinary book that stopped me in my tracks' Peter Frankopan</b><br><br>Cast in buff bronze and carved in white marble, it's easy to see the Greek and Roman body as flawless. But this is a lie. <br><br>Reaching beyond the galleries and behind the myths, classicist Caroline Vout exposes Greek and Roman bodies for what they truly were: anxious, ailing, imperfect and diverse - and responsible for a legacy as lasting as their statutes. Beautifully illustrated, and delving into questions of life, death, morality and personhood, <i>Exposed </i>reveals the classical body in all its flesh-and-blood glory.</p>
