Description
The book Gateway to the Past: Wonders of the World is a richly illustrated publication aimed primarily at young readers. The book briefly guides us through the seven wonders of the ancient world, but more extensively covers others that either did not make it into the seven known wonders of the ancient world (Stonehenge) or are of more recent origin (e.g., Versailles, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul). ***** In the captions accompanying the images, adults will also learn a lot of information that is not widely known or that they have not fully realized in context. Each wonder is accompanied by a specific story that well illustrates the atmosphere of the time when they were created (e.g., the solstice ceremony at Stonehenge, the royal ball at Versailles, or the coronation of the Byzantine emperor's son as co-ruler). ***** The book is supplemented with an index and a glossary that briefly explains certain terms.
