Krátky popis
*Longlisted for the Anglo-Hellenic League Runciman Award 2022*'A
wonderful book.'Peter Frankopan'A masterpiece'Gregory Nagy, Harvard
University'Remarkable'Ian Morris, author of Why the West Rules-For
NowThe way we think. The way we learn. The entertainment we
seek.The way we are governed. It all began on the mountains and
islands of Europe's southeastern edge, more than 3,000 years ago.
The Greeks is the story of a culture that has contributed more than
any other to the way we live now in the West.It is a story that
travels the entire globe and four millennia, taking us from the
archaeological treasures of the Bronze Age Aegean, myths of gods
and heroes, to the politics of the European Union today. Here are
the glories of the classical city-states of Athens and Sparta, the
far-reaching conquests of Alexander the Great, the foundations of
early Christianity, the thousand-year empire of the Byzantines, and
the rediscoveries of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. It is a
history of inventions, such as the alphabet, philosophy, and
science -- but also of reinvention, as Greeks adapted to
catastrophic change and found new ways to survive and make their
mark on the world around them, not least today, across a diaspora
spread over five continents.The product of a lifetime's research by
one of the subject's most esteemed experts, this is the epic,
revelatory story of the Greeks and their global impact, told as
never before.
