Description

Eyewitness To History

Gripping accounts of events in history spanning 4000 years.

A four volume set: ‘The First Reporters’; ‘Discovering New Worlds’; ‘Empire and After’; and ‘In Our Time’.

What was it like to be there, on the spot, at the very moment when great events took place; when great figures strode onto the world stage; when the wonderful, the terrible, the diverting and the just plain curious happened? Here, in four riveting volumes, we have the story of our world in the words of those who experienced it – from the ancient Egyptian Harkhuf as he undertakes to deliver a dancing pygmy to his pharaoh, to John Updike, over four millennia later, watching the Twin Towers collapse against the clear blue sky of a perfect New York day. Our story begins with hieroglyphics and ends with the BlackBerry.
