贡布里希,艺术史大师,成为艺术史大师之前的游戏之作,遂成为经典
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 fr 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 评分人类的历史,是一部征服与被征服的历史,一系列掠夺与反抗的血泪故事,顺便在和平时期,在战争的竞争时期,好奇心以及获胜心促使人们研究并征服自然,以便使自己过上更加舒适的生活。 西方人眼中的世界史,实际上是一部地中海沿岸的历史,那里频繁的战争与掠夺、不断有伟大人...
