Thomas Holland, klasik ve ortaçağ tarihi ve İslam'ın kökenleri gibi konularda çok satan kitaplar yayınlamış bir İngiliz yazardır. Yazarlığına ek olarak, BBC ile tarihi televizyon belgeselleri oluşturmak ve sunmak için çalıştı ve Making History adlı radyo dizisini sunuyor. Holland, 5 Ocak 1968'de Oxfordshire'da doğdu ve İngiltere, Wiltshire'daki Broad Chalke köyünde büyüdü. James Holland aynı zamanda odak noktası İkinci Dünya Savaşı olan bir yazar. Çocukken iki tutkusunun dinozorlar ve eski uygarlıklar olduğunu söyledi. Holland, Chafyn Grove hazırlık okuluna ve Dorset'teki bağımsız Canford School'a gitti. Daha sonra Cambridge'deki Queens' Koleji'ne gitti ve 'Çifte Birincilik' ile mezun oldu (İngiliz Tripos'taki eğitim kursunun hem I hem de II bölümlerinde birinci sınıf onur). Oxford Üniversitesi'nde Lord Byron üzerine bir doktora tezi üzerinde çalışmaya başladı, ancak kısa süre sonra "üniversitelerden bıktığına ve fakir olmaktan bıktığına" karar verdikten sonra istifa etti ve onun yerine çalışmaya başladı.

Kitabın Tanımı

Persian Fire: The First World Empire and the Battle for the West kitap pdf oku ve indir Tom Holland

In 480 B.C., Xerxes, the King of Persia, led an invasion of mainland Greece. Its success should have been a formality. For seventy years, victory—rapid, spectacular victory—had seemed the birthright of the Persian Empire. In the space of a single generation, they had swept across the Near East, shattering ancient kingdoms, storming famous cities, putting together an empire which stretched from India to the shores of the Aegean. As a result of those conquests, Xerxes ruled as the most powerful man on the planet. Yet somehow, astonishingly, against the largest expeditionary force ever assembled, the Greeks of the mainland managed to hold out. The Persians were turned back. Greece remained free. Had the Greeks been defeated in the epochal naval battle at Salamis, not only would the West have lost its first struggle for independence and survival, but it is unlikely that there would ever have been such an entity as the West at all.Tom Holland’s brilliant new book describes the very first “clash of Empires” between East and West. As he did in the critically praised Rubicon, he has found extraordinary parallels between the ancient world and our own. There is no other popular history that takes in the entire sweep of the Persian Wars, and no other classical historian, academic or popular, who combines scholarly rigor with novelistic depth with a worldly irony in quite the fashion that Tom Holland does.
