A Little History of the World
This book has been translated by National Council for Culture, Arts and Arts – Kuwait
H. Gombrich’s bestselling history of the world for young readers tells the story of mankind from the Stone Age to the atomic bomb, focusing not on small detail but on the sweep of human experience, the extent of human achievement, and the depth of its frailty.
The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.
In forty concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of man from the stone age to the atomic bomb.
In between emerges a colorful picture of wars and conquests, grand works of art, and the spread and limitations of science.
This is a text dominated not by dates and facts, but by the sweep of mankind’s experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity’s achievements and an acute witness to its frailties.
The short history chronicles human development from the inventions of cavemen to the results of the First World War.
Additionally, the book describes the beliefs of many major world religions, including Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, and incorporates these ideas into its narrative presentation of historical people and events.
Leonie Gombrich explains in the book’s introduction that Gombrich, writing the last phases of his doctoral thesis, corresponded with the young daughter of some friends.
