Written by L.G. Pine — barrister, genealogist, and prolific author — the book presents a broad panorama of Mediterranean history, from the ancient worlds of Greece, Rome, and Egypt through to the medieval and early modern eras. Pine argues that the Mediterranean was not merely a backdrop to history but the very engine of Western civilisation, connecting cultures, empires, and ideas across millennia. Written in an accessible and authoritative tone, the work distils centuries of complex history into a compact, engaging narrative suited to both the general reader and the informed enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956380119259,"sku":"2026200008531-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4d2c3bbd-91f2-48f9-a220-3b913022bfab.png?v=1783500532","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008531-secondhand-the-middle-sea-a-short-history-of-the-mediterranean","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
