Krátky popis
Babylon often appears more myth than history. Purportedly the site
of the Hanging Gardens and the Tower of Babel, its infamous
presence in the Bible has made it a byword for sinful decadence.
But Babylon was a real place teeming with life, a bustling
mega-city on the Euphrates where schoolteachers, artisans, priests,
slaves, prostitutes and soldiers rubbed shoulders in maze-like
streets and busy marketplaces.The city was home to some
extraordinary rulers, from Hammurabi the great lawgiver to
Nebuchadnezzar II, the conqueror-king, under whose reign the city
glistened in gold and lapis lazuli.In Babylon, Lloyd
Llewellyn-Jones brings the city vividly to life, tracing its
foundation through to its world domination, and subsequent decline,
fall and ruin into dust. From ribald drinking songs to acerbic
letters between rival kings, the extraordinary ancient sources help
inform what is both a stunning work of scholarship and a
fascinating evocation of a long-lost world.
