Sumer: the dawn of art (The arts of mankind) by André Parrot
One of the first history books I bought when I was a student back in the early 60's was "History begins at Sumer" by Samuel Noah Kramer. This book that I just found would have been a treasure back then - actually it still is. to me, even though it is 63 years out of date.
SUMER: THE DAWN OF ART opens with an intriguing 20 page Introduction by Andre' Malraux.
Andre Parrot continues with smooth and gently revealing, fascinating and entertaining descriptions of the artistry and history
