Synopsis "A Little History of the World: Illustrated Edition (Little Histories)"

A special edition of the international bestseller that is "sumptuously illustrated. . . . Perfect for reading to alert and curious children, but it's even better as a secret pleasure, read alone, with no children in sight." (Philip Kennicott, Washington Post) E. H. Gombrich's A Little History of the World, an engaging and lively book written for readers both young and old, vividly brings the full span of human experience on Earth to life, from the stone age to the atomic age. Gombrich's text paints a colorful picture of wars and conquests; of grand works of art; of the advances and limitations of science; of remarkable people and remarkable events. But Gombrich was, first and foremost, the best-known art historian of his time; his beloved Little History suggests illustrations on every page. Featuring more than two hundred illustrations--most in color--this beautiful edition incorporates a wide range of images, showing us the earliest cave paintings, the classic sculptures of the ancient Greeks, beautiful Islamic calligraphy, oil portraits of the mighty through the ages, and much more. With a high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this enhanced edition will have an important place on family bookshelves for many years to come.

Ernst Gombrich nació en Viena y llegó a Inglaterra en 1936. La posición de Sir Ernst Gomrich (1909-2001) en el mundo del arte y su popularidad entre los expertos y un vasto número de lectores en general siguen siendo inigualables. Sus libros han sido traducidos a más de veinte idiomas y muchos títulos se han convertido en clásicos. Pasó la mayor parte de su vida laboral en el Instituto Warburg de la Universidad de Londres, donde fue Director desde 1959 hasta su jubilación en 1976. Su "jubilación" vio la publicación de numerosos libros, reseñas y artículos, y la concesión de muchos honores internacionales, incluyendo un título de caballero y la Orden del Mérito. En 1994, la ciudad de Frankfurt le otorgó el Premio Goethe. Su libro más vendido La historia del arte, publicado por primera vez hace más de cincuenta años, sigue deleitando e informando a los estudiantes de arte de todo el mundo.
