On the whole, this was something of an impulse grab, mostly in regards to archeological history. However, the real thrust of this book is Henry Layard's career as a man of affairs, and what the parallels might be to the contemporary troubles in the Middle East. Another "so-so" read that flirts with being a throwaway. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Real-life Indiana Jones meets Lawrence of Arabia in Winged Bull, the first biography in half a century to tell the story of Henry Layard and his daring adventures. While you may not know his name, you likely have seen his work. The winged bulls, lions and priceless treasures of art and jewelry that he found make up permanent collections in institutions such as the British Museum, Britain's National Gallery and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
