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.
“从前……”我真的被这样有趣而优雅的叙述方式给吸引住了,那么多的“从前”一直追问下去,无所休止,直到“从前的从前……”一个个久远的故事就这样铺展开来,似乎它们已经亲切的笼罩在你的周围了。这是贡布里希《写给大家的简明世界史》的开篇,在写这本书的时候,这位伟大...
评分无疑这是一本好书,短短几万字就把世界历史缕了一遍。作为一本世界史的指引,它无疑是合格的。可是正因为它如此短小精悍,以至于让你在茶余饭后便能轻松跨过人类百年的历程,让人产生一种荒唐的错觉。如若你将这个世界看作一个舞台,你会发现这是一部无聊透顶的话剧沙龙。你方...
评分书从装祯、印刷、插图都很舒服,如果翻译得再好一点(应该说一得比较差),如果插图有关作者、年代、现存何处有更多说明就更完美了。 虽然是写给世界历史初学者的,但很好看,能够快乐的看下去。我觉得作者本身的综合能力,广博的知识起了很重要的作用。对不同文化的、...
