The Rise and Fall of Alexandria: Birthplace of the Modern World (ISBN=9780143112518) snb txt 网盘 pdf kindle 2025 lit 下载

　　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.
