Rise and Fall of Alexandria, The. Justin Pollard, Howard Reid832 руб
The foundations of the modern world were laid in Alexandria of Egypt at the turn of the first millennium. A short history of nearly everything classical. Famous for its lighthouse, its library-the greatest in antiquity-and its fertile intellectual and spiritual life--it was here that Christianity and Islam came to prominence as world religions--Alexandria now takes its rightful place alongside Greece and Rome as a titan of the ancient world. In this compulsively readable narrative, Justin Pollard and Howard Reid bring one of historyas most fascinating and prolific cities to life, creating a treasure trove of our intellectual and cultural origins. Sparkling with fresh insights on science, philosophy, culture, and invention, this is an irresistible, eye-opening delight.
