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.
明明是写给孩子的世界史,却在第一页私心地写上“献给伊泽尔:因为是你在读,所以这本书一直都是属于你的”。因为这本世界史的每一篇手稿,都在礼拜日的约会里,朗读给伊泽尔听过。这大概是我今年见过最别致的秀恩爱方式了。 这本《世界小史》定位在12岁左右的青少年,但作为大...

評分看作者的名字,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...
評分 評分——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...
看這個完全是想瞭解文明5的領袖的個人特性……
评分簡明好看,帶我們迴傢。我們的傢不僅是中國,而是所有的文明。
