Descriere

'A tour d’horizon that spans time as well as space, this is a thrilling intellectual adventure story.' - Tom Holland, author of Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age

The Globe tells the story of humanity's quest to discover the form of the world.

Philosophers in ancient Greece deduced the true shape of the Earth in the fourth century BCE; the Romans passed the knowledge to India, and from there it spread to Baghdad and Central Asia.

In early medieval Europe, Christians debated the matter but long before the time of Columbus, the Catholic Church had accepted that the Earth is round and not flat.
