Babylon is a city of magnificent palaces and huge temples, sparkling fountains and fragrant gardens. Babylon is the world’s oldest civilization. A city-state—a realm—in which, after victorious campaigns, hundreds of thousands of slaves captured in war—Egyptians, Jews, Assyrians—raised one of the wonders of the world: the awe-inspiring Babylonian tower, which, according to legend, is where the confusion of languages began on earth.
The city of cities, firmly convinced of its own chosen status. A city at the zenith of glory. The majestic, haughty capital of an ancient state. But enemies are already standing at the walls of Babylon, and a fifth column is not asleep within its walls.
By right, the audiobook is considered the best novel about the legendary civilization located between the Euphrates and the Tigris.
