Table of Contents reveals that the "soaring spirit" of the title is drawn primarily from (1) Persia, (2) the Hellenic unfolding, (3) dawn of the Romans, and (4) enlightenment in the east. This is essentially about the Golden Age which unfolded in the Mediterranean region, with contrasting pictures and essays showing Celts and Persians, Chinese and Indians. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Every year, as the days grew longer and spring quickened the land, the caravans set out from the far reaches of the known world - pack horses from Anatolia and Thrace, camel trains from Bactria and Arabia, armies of porters from the thousand-mile-long oasis of the Nile, chariots from Assyria, bullock carts from the gold-rich tributaries of the Indus River.
