Baltimore. 1957. Pelican/Penguin Books. Reprinted Pelican Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 350 pages. paperback. A120. keywords: Ancient History. DESCRIPTION - The civilization of the Western World was born many centuries ago on the shores of the Mediterranean, and in this survey of its origins Dr. Glover has reconstructed the achievements and discoveries of the Greeks and Romans. He was a scholar of great distinction who knew his sources intimately, but he reinforced his book-knowledge of the Ancient World by many prolonged journeys in these historic regions. What he has to tell us, therefore, of the growth and influence of these empires of antiquity is illuminated by his own vivid response to the environment where so much history was made. He is aware, for example, of the geographical factors which gave Troy and Babylon their significance, he can trace the strategic reasons for the imperial expansions of Persians and Assyrians, and he is no less aware of the art and literature of the Greeks and Romans than of their politics and economics. This genius for bringing the past to life is the quality, above all others, which made Dr. Glover so vivid a historian, and this genius was never more brilliantly revealed than in THE ANCIENT WORLD. inventory #42603.
