Description

The internationally bestselling guide to the extraordinary human story, for the curious of all ages

The world has existed for over 4 billion years, but humanity arrived much more recently. Here E. H. Gombrich brings to life the full story of human experience on Earth. He paints a colourful picture of remarkable people and events, from Confucius to Catherine the Great, from the invention of art to the destruction of the Berlin Wall.

This is a book dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of mankinds experience across the centuries. It is both a guide to humanitys achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this is a timeless account of our shared history.
