Companion to the BBC series CIVILISATIONS, screening on SBS from December 2018.
CIVILISATIONS: How Do We Look
CIVILISATIONS: The Eye of Faith
A stunningly ambitious and entertaining novel that gives us a counter-factual history of the modern world, from the author of the international bestseller HHhH. Binet's best book yet- the work of a major writer just hitting his stride.
Here, Professor Mary Beard lends a helping hand, mapping the progression of our understanding through the history of art and religion in civilisations.
Looking at how art responded to the age of progress in the 19th Century, David Olusoga shows us how Art struggled to depict the Industrial revolution, and how it became a tool to record the fates supposedly doomed people.
