Summary

Bojana Mojsov: Alexandria

From Alexander the Great to the Arab conquest

What happened to ancient Alexandria and the Great Library? Alexander's city was the shining star of the Mediterranean Sea, the Museum the pride of the world of classical antiquity, and the Library the largest collection in antiquity. How could they disappear so completely, without a trace? This book is an attempt to find some answers to that question... (from the Preface)

Imperialism, nationalism, religion and race: this narrative traces the tensions that destroyed the ancient walls of Alexandria, leading to the loss of the entire legacy of classical antiquity and the beginning of a thousand-year gap between Christian Europe and the Islamic Middle East. This fascinating book tells the extraordinary story of the destruction of classical Alexandria, bringing to light disturbing facts that we have long since erased from our collective historical memory. Examining the origin of the thousand-year-old loss of dialogue between Europe and the Middle East, Bojana Mojsov also raises questions about the power and danger of ignorance that faith carries.
