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.
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.
01 听前思考 第一,贡布里希搭建了一个怎样的历史世界? 第二,贡布里希是怎么把历史讲的有趣的? 第三,贡布里希希望人们从历史中得到什么? 02 书中金句 回忆就是这么回事,我们用它来照亮过去。 一个人想要创造新事物,就必须要详细了解旧事物。 对于别人的信仰,那些超越理...
评分无疑这是一本好书,短短几万字就把世界历史缕了一遍。作为一本世界史的指引,它无疑是合格的。可是正因为它如此短小精悍,以至于让你在茶余饭后便能轻松跨过人类百年的历程,让人产生一种荒唐的错觉。如若你将这个世界看作一个舞台,你会发现这是一部无聊透顶的话剧沙龙。你方...
评分大手笔写的小历史——贡布里希的《世界小史》 “如果你想知道埃及到底在哪里,我建议你去问一只燕子。每年秋天,当天气转凉,燕子们飞向南方。它们越过群山飞临意大利,继续飞过一片海域,然后到达非洲离欧洲最近的地方。埃及不远了。”如此写世界历史,说明大手笔毕竟是大手...
评分看作者的名字,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...
评分——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...
很可爱的小书。可惜是写给儿童的世界史。特意读了中国先秦的孔老部分,颇不离谱。另,前言更有意思。
评分这个太好看了,强烈推荐,无论大人还是小孩都很会喜欢。实在太好了,听完一次计划再看一次
评分挺棒的,文笔幽默风趣,可读性很强的历史,哈哈。第二遍开始听~,到后面还似乎没听完
评分如果保留一本书,我会选择它!这么好的书不要翻译了,精美的版画插图和精致简单的语言,还有里面的智慧,每次细读都在感叹。很难想象写书时作者才26岁。
