Hailed as one of the World’s 50 Top Thinkers by Prospect Magazine and a “rock-star don” by the BBC, Professor of Global History at Oxford University Peter Frankopan is one of the globe’s best and brightest minds.

His best-selling Silk Roads: A New History of the World has sold more than two million copies worldwide and was named one of “ten books that change how you see the world” by The Times. His equally acclaimed The Earth Transformed: An Untold History – a major history of how a changing climate has dramatically shaped the development and demise of civilisations across time – has been described as “vast, learned and timely” by critics and named as a “Book of the Year” in countless outlets.

Finlay Macdonald joins the globally renowned historian and hears about his acclaimed work in his first appearance on an Aotearoa New Zealand stage.
