ancient world . . . a remarkable feat of urban resurrection' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE 'Compelling and authoritative . . . an exhilarating portrait of one of the world's greatest cities' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE 'A masterpiece' TRISTAN HUGHES ______________ Babylon often appears more myth than history. Purportedly the site of the Hanging Gardens and the Tower of Babel, its infamous presence in the Bible has made it a byword for sinful decadence. But Babylon was a real place teeming with life, a bustling mega-city on the Euphrates where schoolteachers, artisans, priests, slaves, prostitutes and soldiers rubbed shoulders in maze-like streets and busy marketplaces. The city was home to some extraordinary rulers, from Hammurabi the great lawgiver to Nebuchadnezzar II, the conqueror-king, under whose reign the city glistened in gold and lapis lazuli. In Babylon , Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones brings the city vividly to life, tracing its foundation through to its world domination, and subsequent decline, fall and ruin into dust. From ribald drinking songs to acerbic letters between rival kings, the extraordinary ancient sources help inform what is both a stunning work of scholarship and a fascinating evocation of a long-lost world. More praise for BABYLON : 'Engrossing and informative' DR. ERIC H. CLINE 'Sweeps you up and carries you off like the River Tigris itself!' IRVING FINKEL 'Babylon is brought brilliantly to life . . . highly engaging' BUZZ MAGAZINE
