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.

评分这是一本世界史的开头: “很久很久以前”,所有的故事都这么开头。而这个故事讲得正是很久很久以前的事。很久以前,你个子还那么小,就算掂起脚也够不到妈妈的手。你还记得么?你自己的历史也可以这么开头:“很久很久以前,有个小男孩---或者小女孩---那就是我。”但在那之...
评分 评分看书评和作者的感觉应该是本好书啊,应该是以老人的口气写给小朋友的书,并且这个老人是研究艺术史的,应该能把这两者好好的结合起来,从不同的角度讲一讲,但是翻译的是在太差了~让人都读不下去了~ 有没有可以直接读的英语版?
评分还不是最好的儿童书。
