Égypte ancienne est " ce jour de bonheur que les dieux ont offert aux hommes " (Paul Morand) : il est temps de le (re)découvrir. Le "mystère" a toujours été attaché à l'Égypte des Pharaons. Malgré l'avancée des connaissances, cette grande civilisation continue de charrier des théories pseudo-scientifiques ou ésotériques. Ce livre audio effectue un tri salutaire entre celles-ci et l'état du savoir des égyptologues et archéologues.

Les Barbares ont une drôle de réputation. Les penseurs de la Renaissance leur imputent le naufrage de la seule véritable civilisation : Rome. Les historiens du XIXe siècle leur octroient volontiers l'origine des nations européennes : les Angles n'ont-ils pas donné leur nom à l'Angleterre, les Francs à la France ?

This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab peoples and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source of shared cultural identity over the millennia.

Suétone est un haut fonctionnaire romain, membre de l'ordre équestre, auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont la "Vie des douze Césars" qui rassemble les biographies de Jules César à Domitien. Il a vécu à la fin du Ier siècle et au début du IIème siècle. En tant que secrétaire de l'empereur Hadrien, Suétone avait accès aux archives impériales, ce qui lui permettait de consulter les sources contemporaines telles que les procès-verbaux des séances du Sénat, des lettres et des testaments d'empereurs.

Les Presses Universitaires de France et Frémeaux & Associés proposent des cours particuliers sur l'"Histoire des sexualités", racontée, expliquée et analysée par Sylvie Steinberg, Didier Lett et Sandra Boehringer, historiens. L'œuvre de Michel Foucault a mis l'accent sur le caractère culturel de toute sexualité, variable dans l'espace et le temps, sur sa dépendance aux discours et aux enjeux religieux, scientifiques et politiques.

Este es un libro sobre la historia de los libros. Un recorrido por la vida de ese fascinante artefacto que inventamos para que las palabras pudieran viajar en el espacio y en el tiempo. La historia de su fabricación, de todos los tipos que hemos ensayado a lo largo de casi treinta siglos: libros de humo, de piedra, de arcilla, de juncos, de seda, de piel, de árboles y, los últimos llegados, de plástico y luz.

The third volume of Will Durant's Pulitzer Prize-winning series, Caesar and Christ chronicles the history of Roman civilization and of Christianity from their beginnings to A.D. 325.

De l'Égypte, nous connaissions les pharaons, les momies, les hiéroglyphes, les temples et les pyramides. Mais quid de la vie intime des Égyptiens? Même Champollion nous a fait des cachotteries sur la vie sexuelle de cette civilisation extraordinaire! Thierry do Espirito nous entraîne dans les alcôves de l'Égypte ancienne.

As the celebrated political philosopher Patrick Deneen explains in this eye-opening book, the Odyssey is also the most American of ancient texts. Like Odysseus, Americans have two fundamental impulses: we are a people simultaneously animated by commitments to being at home and leaving home. Deneen shows us that the deep ambivalence at the heart of the Odyssey is also our own—as some of our greatest books and films attest, from Huckleberry Finn to The Wizard of Oz to Field of Dreams.

This classic presents historical, archaeological, and anthropological evidence to support the theory that ancient Egypt was a black civilization.

In 410 CE, Roman rule of Britain collapsed, bringing a centuries-long occupation to an end. A century later, Britain was dividing into two areas with contrasting cultures, an expansive "Anglo-Saxon" south and east, and a shrinking Celtic west and north. How did this transition happen? And why did the customs of the Germanic incomers prevail in England, unlike elsewhere in Europe? In this account, Nicholas J. Higham addresses these questions head on. Higham draws on archaeological evidence and contemporary literature, including the writings of Gildas, to reconsider the accepted narrative.

La lágrima de Jantipa es un estudio de la Grecia clásica a partir de la palabra de los filósofos y su concepción de lo femenino, un ensayo histórico sobre la configuración de un pensamiento que suponía que las mujeres no debían ser educadas más allá de la labor matronalis y los deberes conyugales.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

The rivalry between two of the dominant city states of Ancient Greece, Athens and Sparta, erupted into a war lasting nearly 30 years and was to have a dramatic effect on the balance of power in the area. Between 431 and 404 BCE, the two cities battled it out on land and sea, aided by their alliances with neighbouring states: Athens’ Delian League vigorously opposed Sparta’s Peloponnesian League in a conflict which effectively involved the whole region.

Historians universally agree that Thucydides was the greatest historian who has ever lived, and that his story of the Peloponnesian conflict is a marvel of forensic science and fine literature. That such a triumph of intellectual accomplishment was created at the end of the fifth century B.C. in Greece is, perhaps, not so surprising, given the number of original geniuses we find in that period. But that such an historical work would also be simultaneously acknowledged as a work of great literature and a penetrating ethical evaluation of humanity is one of the miracles of ancient history.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.
