Edmond Levy was trained at the French School of Athens, the best Higher School of historians and archaeologists Hellenists, then was a teacher. Sparta is the object of this little book, very dense, full and rigorous (author knows all the linguistic subtleties of the attic and Dorian) .The institutions, political history and the Spartan and Spartan society are precisely presented and explained. The evolution and decadence of Sparta also. The bibliography is extensive, also the index, and scale maps will be appreciated. For casual reader, passionate, students, teachers of middle and high school, ancient Greek teachers (yes, there are still, congratulations!). The style is very nice. Shells, but this is not the fact of Edmond Levy be thanked for his admirable work within the reach of every budget.
