Story0
О чем История человечества—это история текстиля, ровесника самой цивилизации. С тех пор как была спрядена первая нить, наша неутолимая потребность в тканях двигала вперед технологию, экономику, политику и культуру. Вирджиния Пострел раскрывает перед нами этот поразительный сюжет, сводя воедино данные новейших исследований в области археологии, экономической истории и естественных наук. От минойцев, экспортировавших в Египет шерсть, окрашенную драгоценным пурпуром, до римлян, одетых в дорогой китайский шелк, торговля тканями прокладывала трансконтинентальные магистрали Древнего мира.
