Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Herodotus is known as the Father of History, but he was also the world's first travel writer, a pioneering geographer, anthropologist, explorer, moralist, reporter and multiculturalist. Using Herodotus as a guiding light, Marozzi takes the reader back to his world, travelling to Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq.

Publisher's description:

A sensational blend of travel and history in the spirit of the man who invented it.
