Thomas Cahill, celebrated author many books on “hinge moments in history,” is best known for taking on a broad scope of complex history and distilling it into an accessible, illuminating and entertaining narrative. His lively, engaging writing animates cultures that existed up to five millennia ago, revealing the lives of his principal characters with insight and joy. He writes history, not in its usual terms of war and atrocity, but by inviting his audience into an ancient world to commune with some of the most influential people who ever lived and to understand their contribution to the our world.
