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.
仅仅300+页的图书,可以叙述完地球上5000年以来发生的事情,不要去追求他有多么的详尽,他可以给你一个比较清晰的轮廓。 应该是第一次看到有人这么讲述历史的,仿佛一个和蔼可亲的老者,脸上刻着深深的皱纹,微笑的,优雅的为你叙述历史。仿佛他亲身经历过过去的故事,给人以身...
评分看作者的名字,還以為是日本人,但又有點不像。打開書來看,才知道作者是猶太人,只是名字譯得怪怪的。這本書的中文版在2004年推出,原著卻是在70年前(1935年)寫成的,是次再版是因為作者剛作出修潤,而中文版便趁此推出譯本。 有人看到歷史書便頭痛,因為歷史書多是沉悶的...

评分很可爱的小书。可惜是写给儿童的世界史。特意读了中国先秦的孔老部分,颇不离谱。另,前言更有意思。
