thoroughly introduces the reader to the masterpieces of world culture, as if throwing a bridge from one era to another, connecting the arts of different times and peoples. A brilliant teacher and storyteller, P.

This book invites us on a journey through the centuries. Its pages trace new connections between distant forms that do not lie on the surface: from Stonehenge to the Globe Theatre, from Crete to the Spanish bullfight, from the European Mediterranean to 20th-century conceptualism.
