具体描述
E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations-most of them in full color-are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.

读后感
《圣经》有云：日光之下，并无新事。既言“新事”，必有旧闻，古今新旧，是为历史。此语寥寥数言，就道出了历史的规律性。《圣经》诞生于人类的童年，已然以超脱者的姿态注意到了历史的循环往复。“一切历史都是当代史”，及至今天，兴乱治废、成王败寇的往事仍然改头换...
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...
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...
用户评价
the history of the world is ,sadly, not a pretty poem. It offers little variety, and it is nearly always the unpleasant things that are repeated, over and over。历史是什么，是人类在不断忘却历史的泥潭中重蹈覆辙。
评分非常好的一本书。原书是写给国外小朋友作为了解历史的儿童读物的，但是很适合我们学习英语用，用词不难。作者写的非常好，尤其是最后一部分，看完都感动的要落泪了。强烈推荐
评分我的历史入门，读起来非常有史诗感，但是只能算是历史上，尤其是欧洲史比较重大事件的讲述，帮助认清了很多欧洲的人名，如果能配上地图或者相应时间就更好了。不过没想到贡布里希对中国的认识也就是欧美普通学过历史的高中生水平，竟然把秦始皇叫做"Enemy of History" 以最后一章的一句话结尾，One can be attached to one's own country without needing to insist that the rest of the world's inhabitants are worthless.
评分语言简明干净，史观端正
