LONGLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE 2025A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR: The Times/Sunday Times, Observer, Economist, Guardian, BBC History Magazine, i-paper and History Today'One of the most fascinating and important works of global history to appear for many years' William Dalrymple'Quinn has done a lot more than reinvent the wheel. What we have here is a truly encyclopaedic and monumental account of the ancient world' The TimesAncient Greece and Rome are considered the parents of Western civilisation. But the ancient world was much more interconnected than we realise - a place of constant exchange, commerce and theft, sex, war and enslavement.Journeying from the Levant of 2500 BC to the dawn of the Age of Exploration, Josephine Quinn argues that the roots of the West can be found in everything from Indian mathematics to the chariots of the Steppe, from Arabic poetry to the Phoenician art of sailing. The result is an epic and revelatory history of our shared past.'Superb, refreshing and full of delights, this is world history at its best' Simon Sebag-MontefioreFull of little gem-like shifts of perspective Guardian Scintillates with its focus on the unexpected Economist A work of great confidence, empathy, learning and imagination Rory Stewart This is, in every way, a big book TLS 'One of the most fascinating and important works of global history to appear for many years' (William Dalrymple), this epic debut from Josephine Quinn rewrites the story of the Western world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An award-winning Cambridge history professor makes a forceful argument and tells a story with great verve (The Wall Street Journal)that the West is, and always has been, truly global.Those archaic Western Civ classes so many of us took in college should be updated, argues Quinn, [who] invites us to . . . revel in a richer, more polyglot inheritance.The Boston GlobeAN ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR LONGLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZEIn How the World Made the West, Josephine Quinn poses perhaps the most significant challenge ever to the civilizational thinking regarding the origins of Western culturethat is, the idea that civilizations arose separately and distinctly from one another. Rather, she locates the roots of the modern West in everything from the law codes of Babylon, Assyrian irrigation, and the Phoenician art of sail to Indian literature, Arabic scholarship, and the metalworking riders of the Steppe, to name just a few examples.According to Quinn, reducing the backstory of the modern West to a narrative that focuses on Greece and Rome impoverishes our view of the past. This understanding of history would have made no sense to the ancient Greeks and Romans themselves, who understood and discussed their own connections to and borrowings from others. They consistently presented their own culture as the result of contact and exchange. Quinn builds on the writings they left behind with rich analyses of other ancient literary sources like the epic of Gilgamesh, holy texts, and newly discovered records revealing details of everyday life. A work of breathtaking scholarship, How the World Made the West also draws on the material culture of the times in art and artifacts as well as findings from the latest scientific advances in carbon dating and human genetics to thoroughly debunk the myth of the modern West as a self-made miracle.In lively prose and with bracing clarity, as well as through vivid maps and color illustrations, How the World Made the West challenges the stories the West continues to tell about itself. It redefines our understanding of the Western self and civilization in the cosmopolitan world of today.
