Synopsis "a little history of the world"

The international bestseller: E. H. Gombrich's sweeping history of the world, for the curious of all ages "All stories begin with 'Once upon a time.' And that's just what this story is all about: what happened, once upon a time." So begins A Little History of the World, an engaging and lively book written for readers both young and old. Rather than focusing on dry facts and dates, E. H. Gombrich vividly brings the full span of human experience on Earth to life, from the stone age to the atomic age. He 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, from Confucius to Catherine the Great to Winston Churchill, and from the invention of art to the destruction of the Berlin Wall. For adults seeking a single-volume overview of world history, for students in search of a quick refresher course, or for families to read and learn from together, Gombrich's Little History enchants and educates.

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.
