Reading Preface to the History of the World | Alexandria
Read Preface to the History of the World by Sir Walter Raleigh. Questioning mortality from a prison cell, Raleigh's icon shatters time itself - penning a radical view that history moves in cycles, not lines. His insight that civilizations rise and fall like waves eerily echoes our own era's uncertainties. Written while awaiting execution, his work reveals how facing death illuminates life's deepest patterns.
