Paul Cooper. Fall of Civilizations
Гибелта на цивилизациите
Language: Bulgarian

 

   The world is full of ruins: from the Colosseum in Rome to the crumbling suburbs of Detroit; from the vine-shrouded Mayan temples to the shell-pocked buildings of Bakhmut and Gaza... Each of them has a different history, but they are united by a single thing: all of them are places where, one day, the future ended. In Fall of Civilizations, historian Paul Cooper takes us behind the scenes to show how humanity’s greatest civilizations rose to the heights of power, and what life was like for the people who witnessed their collapse. Across the centuries, we journey from the great empires of Mesopotamia to those of the Khmer Empire and Vijayanagara in Asia and Songhai in West Africa; from Byzantium to the Maya, Inca, and Aztecs in Central America; from Roman Britain to Rapa Nui. With meticulous research, breathtaking insight, and dazzling storytelling, the author evokes the majesty and downfall of these ancient civilizations, turns a clear eye on humanity’s past mistakes, and asks: are we doomed to repeat them again and again?
