Sobre este artículo
London: John Murray, 2009. Paperback trade, very good condition, spine lightly creased, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 333 pp. Herodotus is known as the father of history, but he was much more than that. He was also the world's first travel writer, a pioneering geographer, anthropologist, explorer, moralist, tireless investigative reporter and enlightened multiculturalist before the word existed. In his masterpiece "The Histories", tall stories of dog-headed men, gold-digging ants and flying snakes jostle for space within a mesmerising narrative of the Persian Wars, from which Greece emerged triumphant in 5BC to give birth to Western civilisation. Marozzi travels in the path of Herodotus through Greece, Turkey, Egypt and war-torn Iraq.
