“We are very lucky to be hosting Dr Paul T. M. Jackson at the bookshop for a second time on Saturday March 21st between 5pm and 7pm to discuss his latest work, a translation of Acte (1838), the first of many historical romances penned by Alexandre Dumas, père. The story opens in 57 AD in the ancient Greek city of Corinth, where the beautiful young maiden Acte meets a mysterious stranger by the name of Lucius, who has sailed from Rome to compete in the upcoming Nemean Games. She welcomes him into her home, where it soon becomes apparent that all is not as it seems…
Dr Paul T. M. Jackson is a translator, writer, and poet living in Provence. A graduate with master’s degrees in classics and teaching and learning, he holds a PhD in ancient philosophy, supervised by professors Sophie Grace Chappell and Naoko Yamagata, and which he passed with no corrections under examination by Regius Professor of Greek (Cambridge) Tim Whitmarsh.”
