Yet both encountered desert wars, besieged cities, and military coups. They also shared a love for overly emotional camels, nomadic lifestyles, dabbling in religions, and having a beer with the guys. By seamlessly weaving together their life trajectories, Young explores how warfare, ambition, sexuality, and the perceptions of women in antiquity compare with the world today.</p><p>This is a memoir like no other. A testament that humans across centuries can buck trends, take risks, triumph and fail, making our marks on the world great and small. Inspirational, fun, and informative, it is a great read for people who love adventure for the ages.</p>...7167213Update205205https://www.gandhi.com.mx/update-9781954805835/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7171943/image.jpg?v=638842611750430000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
