Cele șapte minuni al lumii antice

Bettany Hughes looks at the ancient world's seven wonders. They include the Pyramid at Giza and the lighthouse at Alexandria. She shows how engineers built these works. She asks what those who planned them hoped to achieve. She looks at the lives of those who lived nearby. She also asks what they hoped for and feared.

This history helps general readers learn about the ancient past. Hughes links these great works to the drive for success and power. She asks how they show that past societies could break down. She looks beyond the works to the culture they left for us all to share. This edition presents the text in Romanian.
