Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich, OM, CBE (30 March 1909 – 3 November 2001) was an Austrian-born art historian who became a naturalized British citizen in 1947.[1] He spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom. He is the author of many works of cultural history and art history, including The Story of Art, a book widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts.
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 für 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.

曆史書我覺得是知道一點不知道一點看起來最有勁,處處會有融會貫通和那種“哦!原來這樣是那樣啊”的感覺,但西方的曆史我一懂也不懂,就覺得信息量太大,前看後忘記,不過總體來說還蠻好看的類,不知道是不是我腦洞過大,覺得文字有一種微妙的喜感。。。 1)有這樣的修道士:...

評分 評分看作者的名字,還以為是日本人,但又有點不像。打開書來看,纔知道作者是猶太人,隻是名字譯得怪怪的。這本書的中文版在2004年推齣,原著卻是在70年前(1935年)寫成的,是次再版是因為作者剛作齣修潤,而中文版便趁此推齣譯本。 有人看到歷史書便頭痛,因為歷史書多是沉悶的...

評分曆史是自己的短闆,帶著聽一下作者如何用簡短文字講瞭世界曆史的心情聽完這本有聲書,過程還挺有趣。
評分挺棒的,文筆幽默風趣,可讀性很強的曆史,哈哈。第二遍開始聽~,到後麵還似乎沒聽完
