Features: The "Excellence Translation Series of Social Sciences" is a new gift presented by the Social Sciences Academic Press on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. As a long-term systematic project, the series strives to showcase three main characteristics: a sense of time, a sense of issues, and an open spirit. The "Excellence Translation Series of Social Sciences" will always adhere to the basic philosophy of "promoting the spirit of science, serving theoretical innovation, introducing world-class works, and learning from advanced civilizations." This book is inspiring. It is not a layman's work on prehistoric and ancient worlds, but rather the work of a historian and writer who has always been passionate about Mediterranean studies. With his profound knowledge, he presents us with the early development of human civilization. Under the blue light, through vivid descriptions of megalithic structures, pyramids, Greek temples, or Roman basilicas, the past comes alive as if we are witnessing a dramatic performance. Fernand Braudel is not only a renowned French historian but also a master of writing.
