About this product

Product Information

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.

    Here's why this seller is great: the books are always as described; the communication is always friendly and super-helpful; the books are always carefully packaged (in proper sturdy cardboard book boxes); they are always posted quickly; delivery is with Royal Mail (a huge bonus for someone like me who lives in a very rural area where couriers don't deliver) and you're buying from a small business who actually care about their customers. My lovely book arrived safely today. Thank you so much.

  • A Little History...

    Fantastic read if you know little about key historical events. A neat piece of narrative that any budding historian would cherish.
