On the Edge of the Oikoumene

Ivan Yefremov (1908—1972) — a Soviet writer, paleontologist, author of fantastic and historical novels.
Would you like to know what the Ancient World is like? We know very little about the formation of Egypt, Greece, and Central Africa, and their mysteries and secrets remain uncovered to this day. In the depths of the centuries, Pharaoh Jedefra equips a sea expedition to the south in search of the legendary land of Punt. A thousand years later, the sculptor Pandion goes to Crete to comprehend true beauty. How will the fates of Egypt and Greece intertwine, and how will this journey through time end?
The book includes both parts of the duology: «The Journey of Baurjeda», «On the Edge of the Oikoumene».
