Rezensionen

A scintillating new history of the dynasty ruling the most prosperous third of the ancient world for almost three centuries, extinguished only by the rise of Rome. Intensively researched in every possible source, the author's fast-paced narrative covers everything from rival personalities, war and grand strategy to religion, the arts, science, agriculture and cultural diversity. A truly splendid read, richly detailed and powered by an unfailing gift for storytelling
