Synopsis "The Birth of Classical Europe: A History From Troy to Augustine (Penguin History of Europe)"

An innovative and intriguing look at the foundations of Western civilization from two leading historians; the first volume in the Penguin History of EuropeThe influence of ancient Greece and Rome can be seen in every aspect of our lives. From calendars to democracy to the very languages we speak, Western civilization owes a debt to these classical societies. Yet the Greeks and Romans did not emerge fully formed; their culture grew from an active engagement with a deeper past, drawing on ancient myths and figures to shape vibrant civilizations. In The Birth of Classical Europe, the latest entry in the much-acclaimed Penguin History of Europe, historians Simon Price and Peter Thonemann present a fresh perspective on classical culture in a book full of revelations about civilizations we thought we knew. In this impeccably researched and immensely readable history we see the ancient world unfold before us, with its grand cast of characters stretching from the great Greeks of myth to the world-shaping Caesars. A landmark achievement, The Birth of Classical Europe provides insight into an epoch that is both incredibly foreign and surprisingly familiar.

Primera entrega de nueve, de la serie de Historia de Europa compilada por la editorial Penguin. Un libro que en más o menos 400 páginas, pretende abarcar la historia del nacimiento de la civilización europea, desde la civilización Minoica, pasando por la Grecia Clásica y Roma hasta la caída de la República. Un buen libro de referencia, de contenido general como abrebocas para pasar a otros más especializados.
