Historical Letters, Including a Brief but General View of the History of the World, Civil, Military and Religious, From the Earliest Times to the Year of Our Lord 1820 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book includes a series of historical letters that bring to life the main characters, events and ideas that shaped the ancient world from its earliest civilizations in Egypt and Mesopotamia to the classical cultures of Greece and Rome. Ancient history is often seen as distant and abstract, but this book was written to show how relevant it is to our own time. The history and development of ethical thinking in Greece, for example, is a major theme running through the book. It is argued that the ethical principles developed by the ancient Greeks still form the foundation of Western morality today. The book is not aimed at specialists. No prior knowledge of ancient history is needed to read it. It was written by a passionate advocate of the classics who has made this subject his life's work. It is a lively and engaging work that presents the ancient world through the lives and works of its main protagonists.
