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.
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?
評分明明是写给孩子的世界史,却在第一页私心地写上“献给伊泽尔:因为是你在读,所以这本书一直都是属于你的”。因为这本世界史的每一篇手稿,都在礼拜日的约会里,朗读给伊泽尔听过。这大概是我今年见过最别致的秀恩爱方式了。 这本《世界小史》定位在12岁左右的青少年,但作为大...
評分一本青少年科普书的典范,读起来轻松流畅,趣味盎然。在非虚构类图书中,能让人有不忍掩卷的持续阅读欲望,实属难能可贵。由于所述为以欧洲古代史为主轴的世界历史,内容庞杂,浩如烟海,因此贡布里希的用笔很是节省,极尽简练之能事。但纯客观的记录,很难打动人,因此在惜字...
評分“所有的故事都以‘从前……’开始。……在每一个‘从前……’之后总是还有一个。你可曾在两面镜子之间站立过?你不妨试一试!你就会无休无止地净看见镜子和镜子,镜子越来越小,越来越模糊不清,可你看到的还是镜子,仍还是镜子,但是都不是最后一面。……” 从来没...
評分历史书我觉得是知道一点不知道一点看起来最有劲,处处会有融会贯通和那种“哦!原来这样是那样啊”的感觉,但西方的历史我一懂也不懂,就觉得信息量太大,前看后忘记,不过总体来说还蛮好看的类,不知道是不是我脑洞过大,觉得文字有一种微妙的喜感。。。 1)有这样的修道士:...
看這個完全是想瞭解文明5的領袖的個人特性……
评分很可愛的小書。可惜是寫給兒童的世界史。特意讀瞭中國先秦的孔老部分,頗不離譜。另,前言更有意思。
评分如果保留一本書,我會選擇它!這麼好的書不要翻譯瞭,精美的版畫插圖和精緻簡單的語言,還有裏麵的智慧,每次細讀都在感嘆。很難想象寫書時作者纔26歲。
评分這個太好看瞭,強烈推薦,無論大人還是小孩都很會喜歡。實在太好瞭,聽完一次計劃再看一次
评分作者的'世界'也太小瞭吧
