From AudioFile
This informative selection is from Time/Life's Lost Civilization series, which includes Egypt, Pompeii and the Mayas. Selections of well-known poetry and literature from the Golden Age are performed, accompanied by appropriate music. Two narrators alternate educating the audience about the history and politics of this fascinating time. The first is a deep-voiced male with a British accent; the other an American female with a northeastern accent. She sharply emphasizes her "s's," almost whistling. Although a group of names is listed as being featured, only the above-mentioned two can be clearly distinguished. A.G.H. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine--
