    Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Historian and author M. B. Synge tells the reader the greatest and most compelling stories of antiquity; those of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Israel.Designed for those seeking a simple, short summary of the greatest figures and events of antiquity, this book is a lively and breezy treatment of a vast span of history. M. B. Synge was a travel writer by profession, with a style fluent and informative - his treatment of the famous generals and leaders of ancient times, of the gradual flourishing of civilization around the Mediterranean Sea, carries the attractive aspects of a civic tour. The essential events that shaped the ancient world are told in sequence, feeding into the narration of a world growing in sophistication and culture.Beginning with the life of Abraham, we hear several tales from the Old Testament, including Moses' Exodus from Egypt and the emergence of the Phoenicians as an early maritime power. The glories of the Greek civilization, and later the Greco-Roman culture, are described gradually - we hear of the great military battles and conquests of both Greece and Rome. For Greece there is Alexander the Great, a general whose campaign led all the way to the uncharted lands of India, while for Rome we hear of Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great. Synge concludes on a high note: the Pax Romana, the Roman Peace, wherein the height of ancient culture and achievement was secured.…

Suitable for children ages 13 and up to read to themselves and for children as young as 10 as a read-aloud. The Story of the World series, by M. B. Synge, comprises a set of five volumes, written at a middle school reading level, that cover all major events in the history of Western Civilization, from earliest recorded history to the close of the nineteenth century. With fifty or so short chapters in each volume, the series links the great eras in time and place together by a chain of stories of individuals who played principal parts in the events related. While statesmen and military commanders figure heavily in the narrative, stories of explorers, scientists, artists, authors, and religious figures are also presented. The author writes in an engaging fashion, using dialog frequently to bring scenes to life. She juxtaposes events happening at the same time in different parts of the world in a style reminiscent of the books of Genevieve Foster. This series is an excellent introduction to world history for adult readers as well as for children. E. M. Synge (illustrateur). …
