Book Description:

Sir Arthur Evans was a dapper Victorian gentleman whose idiosyncrasies became obsessions and whose obsessions led to one of the most breathtaking discoveries in the history of archaeology: the Palace of Minos at Knossos. For a quarter of a century the great archaeologist worked to sift the facts from the myths about the mysterious civilization he was uncovering. With the same dedication and skill, biographer Sylvia L. Horwitz brings us not only the legend of Arthur John Evans but the truth of the man as well. - from the back cover
