A special edition of the international bestseller that is
"sumptuously illustrated. . . . Perfect for reading to alert and
curious children, but it's even better as a secret pleasure, read
alone, with no children in sight." (Philip Kennicott, Washington
Post) E. H. Gombrich's A Little History of the World, an engaging
and lively book written for readers both young and old, vividly
brings the full span of human experience on Earth to life, from the
stone age to the atomic age. Gombrich's text paints a colorful
picture of wars and conquests; of grand works of art; of the
advances and limitations of science; of remarkable people and
remarkable events. But Gombrich was, first and foremost, the
best-known art historian of his time; his beloved Little History
suggests illustrations on every page. Featuring more than two
hundred illustrations-most in color-this beautiful edition
incorporates a wide range of images, showing us the earliest cave
paintings, the classic sculptures of the ancient Greeks, beautiful
Islamic calligraphy, oil portraits of the mighty through the ages,
and much more. With a high-grade design, fine paper, and classic
binding, this enhanced edition will have an important place on
family bookshelves for many years to come.
