Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - This is a history of the Ethiopians from pre-history to the present day. Drawing on research in archaeology, anthropology, linguistics and on recent historiography, the book charts the development of Ethiopian peoples and their society, placing emphasis on the African origins of Ethiopian civilization. -- The book opens with a review of Ethiopian prehistory, showing how the Ethiopian section of the African Rift Valley has come to be seen as the cradle of humanity. It describes, for instance, the discovery of the remains of the oldest known hominid, Lucy, in the middle Awash Valley, in 1974. The book then discusses Ethiopia in biblical times, reconsidering, for example, the legend of the Queen of Sheba. The author examines the various dynasties that ruled in the period up to the first Portuguese mission, and explores the subsequent political and religious struggles between Christians, Muslims and Falashas. He discusses the social and economic effects of key stages in Ethiopian history, such as the Gondar period and the era of the Judges. The book also examines the succession of modernizing monarchs that followed, culminating in the rule of Emperor Haile Seilassie. The book concludes with a review of Ethiopian history and culture, considering contemporary Ethiopia within an historical context.
