Ostracon and papyrus
9.99 €
Human memory is short. For an event to be remembered, someone must write about it. Important things are written on papyrus, because they are expensive. Not so important things are written on ostracon shards, because they are cheap. But fate has its own opinion about what is important and what is not. She turns papyri and shards into nothing, but keeps the historian. If the historian remains unharmed, he will write a "History" that will be remembered. That is why fate favored Herodotus in all his difficult path.
This book, which tells about the youth of the famous Greek historian who lived in the V century BC, is a continuation of the novel "Herodotus's Choice", previously published in the same series.
