THE WORLD’S GAME: Reflections on Western Culture
FEATURED BOOK
THE WORLD’S GAME: Reflections on Western Culture by FREDERIC RAPHAEL. In this compelling narrative, Raphael explores the most significant moments, ideas and figures that shaped the world’s stage. From the reigns of Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great to Plato and Socrates and the origins of philosophy, the turning point of World War Two and the invention of the atomic bomb and finally the cultural divisions of today. It is a story of conflict, the rise of anti-Semitism, the tensions between science and faith, progress and strife. A tapestry of the Western world and the power struggles that have shaped it.
