In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks' resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, king of Persia.

Commencée dès 1857 pour s'achever en 1964, cette longue page d'histoire a laissé, entre fierté et rancœur, glorification et oubli, des traces profondes. Le livre audio proposé aujourd'hui par RFI est le fruit d'un patient inventaire dans les archives sonores en France, complétées grâce à la collecte de témoignages effectuée par les radios publiques africaines.
