Krátky popis
Land Between the Rivers is the result of ten years of research,
writing, and thinking about the subject. It is an enormous topic:
five thousand years, beginning with Gilgamesh at the edge of
historical time. It is a big topic in another way.More than
anywhere else, the famous Land Between the Rivers, where
civilization was born, where East and West have mixed and clashed
since long before Alexander, has led an existence that could be
called, from a certain perspective, a history of the world. We
begin the story with ancient Sumer, and Gilgamesh building the
walls of Uruk ('Iraq') to make a great name for himself around the
turn of the third millennium BC. We end it in 1958, as the last
royal family of Iraq is slaughtered on the steps of a small royal
palace in Baghdad, the most effervescent, free, and promising
capital in the Middle East.Above all, the story of Iraq, the
world's hinge country, is that of the great clash pitting humanism
against the outlooks of power and fate.
