of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. To execute something as complex and massive as the Great Pyramid, Egypt needed architects, mathematicians, boat builders, stone masons, and metallurgists. It took twenty years to build the Great Pyramid. By the time its capstone was laid in 2560 B.C., the innovations born of the building quest had transformed agrarian Egypt into the world's most modern, most powerful nation.Les trois jours de Pompéi
Par Alberto Angela. 2017
Auriez-vous survécu à l'éruption du Vésuve si vous aviez habité Pompéi en 79 après J.-C., et quelle existence auriez-vous menée…
jusqu'alors ? L'auteur mêle les lecteurs à une multitude de personnages pour reconstituer l'une des plus grandes tragédies des temps anciens, loin des idées reçues. Elle n'aurait pas eu lieu le 24 août mais le 24 octobre, et ce qu'on appelait Vesuvius n'était qu'un modeste relief dont on ignorait la vraie nature, mais qui libéra soudain une énergie équivalant à celle de 50 000 bombes d'Hiroshima. Malgré l'ampleur du cataclysme, l'auteur a retrouvé sept survivants. C'est notamment à leurs côtés que nous participons à un passionnant reportage sur la vie quotidienne au pied du volcan - tragique compte à rebours puis à un film catastrophe avec bien des rebondissements. Cette tension dramatique sur trois jours, il fallait un scientifique doublé d'un journaliste pour nous la restituer comme s'il nous embarquait sur un Titanic de l'AntiquitéThe Story of Greece and Rome
Par Tony Spawforth. 2018
The magnificent civilization created by the ancient Greeks and Romans is the greatest legacy of the classical world. However, narratives…
about the "civilized" Greek and Roman empires resisting the barbarians at the gate are far from accurate. Tony Spawforth, an esteemed scholar, author, and media contributor, follows the thread of civilization through more than six millennia of history. His story reveals that Greek and Roman civilization, to varying degrees, was supremely and surprisingly receptive to external influences, particularly from the East. From the rise of the Mycenaean world of the sixteenth century B.C., Spawforth traces a path through the ancient Aegean to the zenith of the Hellenic state and the rise of the Roman empire, the coming of Christianity and the consequences of the first caliphate. Deeply informed, provocative, and entirely fresh, this is the first and only accessible work that tells the extraordinary story of the classical world in its entirety.The eternal city: a history of Rome
Par Ferdinand Addis. 2020
Why does Rome continue to exert a hold on our imagination? How did the Caput Mundi come to play such…
a critical role in the development of Western civilization? Ferdinand Addis addresses these questions by tracing the history of the Eternal City told through the dramatic key moments in its history: the mythic founding of Rome in 753 BC, the murder of Caesar in 44 BC, the coronation of Charlemagne in AD 800, the reinvention of the imperial ideal, the painting of the Sistine chapel, the trial of Galileo, Mussolini's March on Rome of 1922, the release of Fellini's La Dolce Vita in 1960, and the Occupy riots of 2011. City of the Seven Hills, spiritual home of Catholic Christianity, city of the artistic imagination, enduring symbol of our common European heritage-Rome has inspired, charmed, and tempted empire-builders, dreamers, writers, and travelers across the twenty-seven centuries of its existence. Ferdinand Addis tells its rich story in a grand narrative style for a new generation of listenersThe first marathon: the legend of Pheidippides
Par Susan Reynolds, Daniel Minter. 2006
Twenty-five hundred years ago, in ancient Greece, a small band of Greek soldiers faced the mighty Persian army on the…
plain of Marathon. A runner named Pheidippides ran to neighbouring Sparta, one hundred forty miles away, to ask for the Spartans' aid. Afterwards he sped back to the battle, where he helped defeat the enemy. Then the weary runner did his duty yet once more; he ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the miraculous news of the Greek victory.
