"Text" Collection.
From Babylon to Jerusalem and from Athens to Alexandria, the vast areas bordering the Mediterranean have known in Antiquity great empires whose model remains that of Alexander, conquered in a few years, prestigious cities like Athens or Sparta, without forgetting some small states with a decisive influence on neighboring peoples, like that of the Hebrews.
The thirty chronicles presented by Maurice Sartre recount with great documentary certainty fascinating pages of history where figures like Cleopatra, Herod, Xerxes or Pericles intersect, where diverse systems coexist and where relatively peaceful political mores rub shoulders with habits that revolt us by their barbarity. A fascinating journey into exotic worlds.
