Features: 300 years ago, Frederick the Great of Prussia created an artwork known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" with his mad ideas—the Amber Room. At the end of World War II, Germany turned into a wasteland, and the Amber Room also mysteriously disappeared. In recent decades, explorers, historians, and secret police from both the East and the West have joined the search for the Amber Room. Even Russian President Yeltsin claimed to know the whereabouts of the Amber Room. This book includes three parts: "Tracking the Eighth Wonder—The Secrets of the Amber Room," "The Eternal Building—Recreating the Seven Wonders of the World," and "The Wonderful Journey—The Mystery of Marco Polo's."
