First published in 1921 and translated since into eighteen
languages, The Story of Mankind has charmed generations of readers
with its warmth, simplicity, and wisdom. Beginning with the origins
of human life and sweeping forward to illuminate all of history,
Hendrik Willem van Loon's ability to convey history as a
fascinating tale of adventure has endeared this book to countless
readers and has attained it a unique place in publishing history.
This new version has been brought up to date by John Merriman,
professor of history at Yale University. It incorporates the most
important developments of the last three decades -- including the
Vietnam War, the turbulence of the 1960s, space exploration, the
emergence of developing countries, and the astounding advances we
have witnessed in medicine and science -- and looks toward the
emerging themes of the twenty-first century.
Hendrik Willem van Loon received worldwide acclaim for the many
books that he both wrote and illustrated. Among his most beloved
are The Story of America, The Story of the Bible, and The Life and
Times of Rembrandt.
