Recenzii

The Scythians, superbly written and lavishly illustrated, is the best account of these hard-riding nomads we are likely to have for a long time to come. Especially worthy of note are the excellent maps and diagrams, expertly placed to help the reader chart the wanderings of the Scythians in some of the world's most remote locations.
A scintillating tour de force from probably the greatest scholar of European archaeology.
Cunliffe writes in an uncluttered style and with a seemingly effortless authority about a complex people ... The book is beautifully produced with plenty of colour illustrations, including excellent maps of unfamiliar places. It will surely become the standard introduction to a remarkable lost world.
Not to be missed.
Cunliffe masterfully blends archaeology, anthropology, and visual and written evidence with dazzling images, delightful stories, and clear writing.
