A short history of nearly everything classical. The foundations of
the modern world were laid in Alexandria of Egypt at the turn of
the first millennium. In this compulsively readable narrative,
Justin Pollard and Howard Reid bring one of history's most
fascinating and prolific cities to life, creating a treasure trove
of our intellectual and cultural origins. Famous for its
lighthouse, its library-the greatest in antiquity-and its fertile
intellectual and spiritual life--it was here that Christianity and
Islam came to prominence as world religions--Alexandria now takes
its rightful place alongside Greece and Rome as a titan of the
ancient world. Sparkling with fresh insights on science,
philosophy, culture, and invention, this is an irresistible, eye-
opening delight.
