Softcover. Condition: Fair. A finales del siglo XIII a.C., finaliza abruptamente una época de prosperidad y relativa estabilidad en el Mediterráneo oriental. Se diluye la influencia egipcia, el Imperio Hitita se desmorona y la civilización micénica yace en ruinas, sumergiendo a Grecia en una Edad Oscura que se prolongará durante más de trescientos años. Qué causó estas catástrofes Por qué se desmoronaron repentinamente unas civilizaciones que habían resistido incontables agitaciones en el pasado Actualmente, los estudiosos culpan en gran medida a las bandas de merodeadores conocidos como Pueblos del Mar.
