Annotat͡sii͡a k knige "Aleksandrii͡a.

Summary of the book "Alexandria. Secrets of the Lost City" Richardson E.: Alexandria, one of the cities founded by Alexander the Great, has stood for centuries at the crossroads of East and West, in the heart of modern Afghanistan. Then the city disappeared: only in the XIX century Charles Masson, a deserter of the army of the East India Company, an inventor, an archaeologist, inspired by the story of the legendary tsar, would come out on his trail. Starting his archaeological research, Masson did not yet realize that he was destined to play a role in incredible events."Masson had to beg by the roadside and drink tea with the rulers, see what had never been seen before by Europeans, and from an ordinary soldier become one of the greatest archaeologists of his time. He will devote his life to the search for Alexander the Great, and these searches will take him through snow-capped mountains, reveal to him secret palaces with jewels and a lost city covered with the sands of Afghanistan. He will dig up priceless treasures and witness indescribable atrocities. He will decipher a language that was forgotten more than a thousand years ago. The most powerful empires in the world will blackmail and persecute him. He will be imprisoned for treason. He will be offered to rule the kingdom. He will change the world, and the world will destroy him." (Edmund Richardson) Read more…
