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.

僅僅300+頁的圖書,可以敘述完地球上5000年以來發生的事情,不要去追求他有多麼的詳盡,他可以給你一個比較清晰的輪廓。 應該是第一次看到有人這麼講述曆史的,仿佛一個和藹可親的老者,臉上刻著深深的皺紋,微笑的,優雅的為你敘述曆史。仿佛他親身經曆過過去的故事,給人以身...
評分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:...
評分人類的曆史,是一部徵服與被徵服的曆史,一係列掠奪與反抗的血淚故事,順便在和平時期,在戰爭的競爭時期,好奇心以及獲勝心促使人們研究並徵服自然,以便使自己過上更加舒適的生活。 西方人眼中的世界史,實際上是一部地中海沿岸的曆史,那裏頻繁的戰爭與掠奪、不斷有偉大人...
評分看書評和作者的感覺應該是本好書啊,應該是以老人的口氣寫給小朋友的書,並且這個老人是研究藝術史的,應該能把這兩者好好的結閤起來,從不同的角度講一講,但是翻譯的是在太差瞭~讓人都讀不下去瞭~ 有沒有可以直接讀的英語版?

評分給小朋友易染的心靈撒下寬容的種子 // 2011-03-30 城大書店
評分還不是最好的兒童書。
評分如果保留一本書,我會選擇它!這麼好的書不要翻譯瞭,精美的版畫插圖和精緻簡單的語言,還有裏麵的智慧,每次細讀都在感嘆。很難想象寫書時作者纔26歲。
