A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR: The Times/Sunday Times, Observer,
Economist, Guardian, BBC History Magazine, i-paper and History
Today'One of the most fascinating and important works of global
history to appear for many years' William Dalrymple'Quinn has done
a lot more than reinvent the wheel. What we have here is a truly
encyclopaedic and monumental account of the ancient world' The
TimesAncient Greece and Rome are considered the parents of Western
civilisation. But the ancient world was much more interconnected
than we realise - a place of constant exchange, commerce and theft,
sex, war and enslavement.Journeying from the Levant of 2500 BC to
the dawn of the Age of Exploration, Josephine Quinn argues that the
roots of the West can be found in everything from Indian
mathematics to the chariots of the Steppe, from Arabic poetry to
the Phoenician art of sailing. The result is an epic and revelatory
history of our shared past. 'Superb, refreshing and full of
delights, this is world history at its best' Simon
Sebag-Montefiore‘Full of little gem-like shifts of perspective’
Guardian ‘Scintillates with its focus on the unexpected’ Economist
‘A work of great confidence, empathy, learning and imagination’
Rory Stewart ‘This is, in every way, a big book’ TLS
