Articoli correlati a Gold Quest
This book tells the story of precious gold, created when stars explode, mined in Ancient Egypt, made into a mummy mask and buried with a king.
But the tomb is robbed, the mask is stolen and made into something new... And so the gold changes hands and changes shape as centuries pass. It's a prize at the Colosseum in Rome, a gift for Queen Elizabeth I at Nonesuch Palace, counterfeit coins in a sea captain's chest, a toothpick holder at Versailles, gold buttons on a waistcoat bound for Australia, and a necklace in modern New York.
Stephen Biesty's richly detailed illustrations and Meredith Hooper's resonant text together tell the awe-inspiring story of the gold and its owners, of hopes and dreams, courage and deceit, romance and adventure.
