Dějiny pravěku a starověku – Mandelová Helena (2008)

Those who do not have a good understanding of past historical events cannot orient themselves correctly in the present, wise people claim. A thorough knowledge of one's own history - as well as the history of other countries - has been considered a necessity by all civilized societies, and they have educated their youth in this sense from an early age. After all, those who do not learn from history are doomed to relive tragic events from the past, ancient philosophers emphasized with a raised index finger. And history, including the dramatic twentieth century, clearly proves them right, as true wisdom of humankind remains elusive. The most significant events continue to repeat themselves in various forms - yet humanity has wandered in a vicious circle for millennia, even though it may seem at first glance that development occurs in a spiral and that we are more enlightened and perfected century by century... This lavish publication presents prehistory and antiquity as a colorful encyclopedic film, full of attractive monuments, personalities, narratives, and events. If you flip through this beautiful book, you will feel that those exciting and long-gone moments are willingly returning to you...
