Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich, OM, CBE (30 March 1909 – 3 November 2001) was an Austrian-born art historian who became a naturalized British citizen in 1947.[1] He spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom. He is the author of many works of cultural history and art history, including The Story of Art, a book widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts.
In 1935, with a doctorate in art history and no prospect of a job, the 26-year-old Ernst Gombrich was invited by a publishing acquaintance to attempt a history of the world for younger readers. Amazingly, he completed the task in an intense six weeks, and Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser was published in Vienna to immediate success, and is now available in seventeen languages across the world.
Toward the end of his long life, Gombrich embarked upon a revision and, at last, an English translation. A Little History of the World presents his lively and involving history to English-language readers for the first time. Superbly designed and freshly illustrated, this is a book to be savored and collected.
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 product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.
“所有的故事都以‘从前……’开始。……在每一个‘从前……’之后总是还有一个。你可曾在两面镜子之间站立过?你不妨试一试!你就会无休无止地净看见镜子和镜子,镜子越来越小,越来越模糊不清,可你看到的还是镜子,仍还是镜子,但是都不是最后一面。……” 从来没...
评分——读恩斯特·贡布里希《世界小史》 当我们在读史书的时候,我们在读什么?是政客们的互相猜忌、搞阴谋和耍手腕,还是刀剑枪炮,成堆的尸体与废墟瓦砾?很多时候,历史总是冰冷无情。即使在中学课堂中,当我们初次接触历史,老师们总是强调时间地点、人物事件、背景原因等一...

评分01 听前思考 第一,贡布里希搭建了一个怎样的历史世界? 第二,贡布里希是怎么把历史讲的有趣的? 第三,贡布里希希望人们从历史中得到什么? 02 书中金句 回忆就是这么回事,我们用它来照亮过去。 一个人想要创造新事物,就必须要详细了解旧事物。 对于别人的信仰,那些超越理...
评分这是一本世界史的开头: “很久很久以前”,所有的故事都这么开头。而这个故事讲得正是很久很久以前的事。很久以前,你个子还那么小,就算掂起脚也够不到妈妈的手。你还记得么?你自己的历史也可以这么开头:“很久很久以前,有个小男孩---或者小女孩---那就是我。”但在那之...
挺棒的,文笔幽默风趣,可读性很强的历史,哈哈。第二遍开始听~,到后面还似乎没听完
评分如果保留一本书,我会选择它!这么好的书不要翻译了,精美的版画插图和精致简单的语言,还有里面的智慧,每次细读都在感叹。很难想象写书时作者才26岁。
评分有声书。儿童读物
评分非常好的世界史普及读物。有很多以前没注意或者没重视的历史片段。
评分看这个完全是想了解文明5的领袖的个人特性……
