Productbeschrijving

Imagine you could learn history by reading a magical adventure novel. Imagine you could spice up your favorite Western Civ textbook by throwing in danger, romance, and myth. You can. The Jericho River flows through a magical world shaped by myth and history. Young Jason Gallo sails the river on a dangerous quest to rescue his father. He battles minotaurs and pirates, flees barbarians, stumbles into mummies’ tombs, and outwits fairies, philosophers, and scientists. Along the way, he discovers friendship, love, and betrayal -- and faces a hidden foe who threatens all he holds dear. The river flows like a timeline, carrying Jason through historic lands—Babylonia, ancient Greece, Medieval Europe, Napoleon’s empire, and many others -- all in chronological order, tracing the history of Western Civilization. Jason’s father is a historian, and his notes outline the journey, revealing the truth about Cleopatra, King Arthur, and the fall of the Roman Empire. He explains how Snow White began as a promiscuous goddess and why Eve was created from Adam’s rib, as well as the origins of coffee, the cat, chivalry, the Internet, Atlantis -- and much more. The Jericho River also features twenty-six vivid historic illustrations and three maps.
