A History of the World in 10½ Chapters

A History of the World in 10½ Chapters tells a series of apparently unconnected stories ranging from a woodworm¿s-eye-view of the journey on Noah¿s Ark to an astronaut¿s quest for its final resting place.

There is pastiche and learned disquisition; there is heart-stopping documentary and heart-lifting revelation. But these stories are not separate.

They are all linked by a complex weave of inquiry into history itself, into love, myth and fabulation. It¿s about everything that matters, told with brilliant imagination, intelligence and humour.
