Krátky popis
‘A bold and imaginative page-turner that challenges ideas about the
world of antiquity.’ Peter Frankopan (The Silk Roads)‘This vivid
and engaging book brings to life some of the most important moments
in ancient history, moments that have shaped not only the politics
and culture of bygone eras, but the institutions, thoughts and
fantasies of our time.’ Yuval Noah Harari (Sapiens)‘As panoramic as
it is learned, this is ancient history for our globalised world.'
Tom Holland (Dynasty, Rubicon)Acclaimed historian and TV presenter
Michael Scott guides us through an epic story spanning ten
centuries to create a bold new reading of the classical era for our
globalised world.Scott challenges our traditionally western-focused
perception of the past, connecting Greco-Roman civilisation to the
great rulers and empires that swept across Central Asia to India
and China – resulting in a truly global vision of ancient
history.With stunning range and richness Ancient Worlds illustrates
how the great powers and characters of antiquity shared ambitions
and crises, ways of thinking and forms of governing: connections
that only grew stronger over the centuries as political systems
evolved, mighty armies clashed, universal religions were born and
our modern world was foreshadowed.Scott focuses on three epochal
‘moments’ across the ancient globe, and their profound wider
significance: from 509-8 BCE (birth of Athenian democracy and
Rome’s republic, also the age of Confucius’s teachings in China),
to 218 BCE (when Hannibal of Carthage challenged Rome and China saw
its first emperor), to 312 CE, when Constantine sought to impose
Christianity on the Roman world even as Buddhism was pervading
China via the vast trading routes we now know as the ‘Silk Roads.’A
major work of global history, Michael Scott’s enthralling journey
challenges the way we think about our past, re-draws the map of the
classical age to reveal its hidden connections, and shows us how
ancient history has lessons for our own times.
