Description

Susan Wise Bauer masterfully transforms the centuries-long history of ancient civilizations into a compelling narrative, where vivid scenes of political intrigue, cultural achievements, and the everyday life of the past come alive behind the dry dates.

The history of the Ancient World — from the first empires in human history to the fall of Rome.

In this book, Susan Bauer presents and substantiates a fascinating theory of the interaction and interpenetration of the cultures of a wide variety of Western and Eastern civilizations.

It is not just dry facts, but a detailed and vivid account of the foreign and domestic politics of ancient states, their literature, religion and mythology, daily life, and systems of governance.

The result is a stunning mosaic of events, testimonies, and documents, in which every element is equally important.
