Description
Summary:The daily newspaper reminds us that Mesopotamia and Egypt are by no means out of history. The Near East is again the place in which the course of history is to be decided. And yet how little we know about the great people who live between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, and how much less do we know of their literature.
