From SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING author Bettany Hughes

'A wondrous wonderful achievement' Stephen Fry 'Fascinating' Observer 'Thrilling' Guardian

Their names still echo down the ages: The Great Pyramid at Giza. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The Temple of Artemis. The statue of Zeus at Olympia. The mausoleum of Halikarnassos. The Colossus at Rhodes. The Lighthouse of Alexandria. The Seven Wonders of the World were staggeringly audacious impositions on our planet. They were also brilliant adventures of the mind, test cases for the reaches of human imagination. Now only the great pyramid remains fully standing, yet the scale and majesty of these seven wonders still enthral us today.

In a thrilling, colourful narrative enriched with the latest archaeological discoveries, bestselling historian Bettany Hughes walks through the landscapes of both ancient and modern time. This is a journey whose purpose is to ask why we wonder, why we create, why we choose to remember the wonder of others. She explores traces of the Wonders themselves, and the traces they have left in history. A magisterial work of historical storytelling, The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World reinforces the exciting and nourishing notion that humans can make the impossible happen.

Bettany Hughes’ first book ‘Helen of Troy: Goddess, Princess, Whore’ has been translated into ten languages. Her second, ‘The Hemlock Cup, Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life’ was a New York Times bestseller and was shortlisted for the Writer’s Guild Award. Her book ‘Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities’ was shortlisted for the Runciman Award, was a Sunday Times bestseller, and has been translated into twelve languages. Her biography of a goddess ‘Venus & Aphrodite’ was also shortlisted for the Runciman Award. Hughes' latest book 'The Seven Wonders of the World' is already a best seller, receiving great critical acclaim. Hughes has written and presented over 50 TV and radio documentaries. Her programmes have now been seen by over 250 million worldwide. Hughes has received awards including the Naomi Sargent Education Prize for Broadcast Excellence, the Norton Medicott Medal for services to History, and an OBE for services to history.
