It's all Greek to me!

Now I'm very interested in history. So I told mom to buy for me some history books... now in Italy there are two daily mags that edit them, as an "attachment" (don't know the right word, and I feel to lazy to search it).
They are huge books, each one describing the history of a century or of a people.
I only had the time to start reading the one of the Greeks.
I found it very beautiful, but then, going on reading, I found a chapter very slow to read, about pottery and metals and other manufacts. The why is that it was of another writer.
So I started getting info about the good author, Peter Levi. And discovered he wrote a romance, The Light Garden of the Angel King. Did he wrote something else in English? I know about a history atlas, this romance and a few poetry.
I suggest you to read something about him!
If you look for a better description about the book (I didn't read it, but soon will do so) you can find it here.
I put on line the Italian cover... hope you will forgive me, I don't wont to charge another pic on my web space! And, I found amusing to see different covers. In the future I will show an example of differences, it's a promise.
