The book “The Gold of the World” traces the course followed by man
through the world and through the centuries in his quest for gold. It
begins with man’s first acquaintance with the precious metal and
continues with his search to locate it and the techniques and methods by
which he worked it. It is a chronicle that examines man’s relations
with gold through myth, art, religion, the economy and everyday life. A
wealth of illustrations covers every period of human history, from
prehistory to the major ancient civilizations and from the America of
Conquistadores to the Europe of the great artists.
