Anthony Bonanno's simple and lucid account makes pleasant, uncomplicated reading; its authenticity backed by solid scholarship and thorough good sense. The superb photographic record matches to perfection his impressive account on the early history of Malta, making it a publication that is a pleasure to handle, visually rewarding to leaf through, reliable and informative to read and assimilate. This new update edition contains eight pages on the recent acquisitions following excavation of the prehistoric underground cemetary at Xaghra Circle in Gozo.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introduction for the non-specialist,

This review is from: Malta, An Archaeological Paradise (Paperback)
Malta has been inhabited for around six thousand years, and its archeological remains are very rich. It had a remarkable civilization by the fourth century B.C. during which large temples, regarded as the earliest free-standing structures in the world, were built, while during the long Roman domination (218 B.C. - A.D. 535) Malta had a flourishing economy. Professor Bonanno's slim book, with its splendid photographs by Mario Mintoff, includes a series of short but authoritative introductions to such topics as the stupendous underground Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, but the emphasis is on illustrations and pithy captions. This is a book I would certainly recommend to the non-specialist who has only a few days to explore Malta's archeological heritage.
