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.

评分聽瞭多年的audio books ,終於開始挑戰原版 non-fiction 類瞭,可能是早年被各類史的洗禮,相對熟悉那些人物,年代,和重大事件。也可能就是聽力有進步。也可能這是寫給兒童看的,用詞淺顯易懂。 這位德係作者,真是難得真心懂得欣賞東方文明之美的西方人,溫厚悲憫。 如果,白人普遍都能有這麼開明包容的態度,在國外生活的舒適度會提升很多吧。可惜,ignorance & prejudice纔是硬通貨。 "在洋槍大炮下,這片古老文明和平之地上的人民,屈服於big nose foreign devils" Ernst Gombrich 恩斯特·貢布裏希 (多念幾遍,好好記住他的名字…)
