Description

A special edition of the international best seller that is "very well illustrated. . . . Ideal for reading to curious children, but even better as a guilty pleasure, read alone without children around." (Philip Kennicott, Washington Post)

A Little History of the World by E. H. Gombrich is a fascinating and lively book written for readers of all ages, bringing to life the full span of human experience on Earth, from the stone age to the nuclear age. Gombrich's text paints a colorful picture of wars and conquests, great works of art, the advancements and limitations of science, remarkable people, and events.

Gombrich was, first and foremost, the most renowned art historian of his time. His beloved Little History suggests illustrations on every page. This beautiful edition features more than two hundred illustrations—most in color—and captures a wide variety of images, from early cave paintings, the classical sculptures of ancient Greeks, beautiful Islamic calligraphy, portraits of powerful luminaries across the ages, and much more.

With high-quality design, good-quality paper, and classic binding, this upgraded edition will hold a significant place in family libraries for many years.
