The human body has been an object of fascination throughout history. It has been attired, decorated, mutilated, revered, pampered, mortified and imaginatively interpreted by artists. It is the personal and social symbol of our identity. In this ground breaking book KEN DUTTON, scholar and body-builder, surveys the male body through the ages, looking in particular at the search for physical development. From pagan Greek culture through the Renaissance to modern Western society this engrossing and strikingly illustrated book takes our appreciation and understanding of the body to new levels.
