A Little History of the World pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
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.

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“所有的故事都以‘从前……’开始。……在每一个‘从前……’之后总是还有一个。你可曾在两面镜子之间站立过?你不妨试一试!你就会无休无止地净看见镜子和镜子,镜子越来越小,越来越模糊不清,可你看到的还是镜子,仍还是镜子,但是都不是最后一面。……” 从来没...
评分人类的历史,是一部征服与被征服的历史,一系列掠夺与反抗的血泪故事,顺便在和平时期,在战争的竞争时期,好奇心以及获胜心促使人们研究并征服自然,以便使自己过上更加舒适的生活。 西方人眼中的世界史,实际上是一部地中海沿岸的历史,那里频繁的战争与掠夺、不断有伟大人...
评分这是一本世界史的开头: “很久很久以前”,所有的故事都这么开头。而这个故事讲得正是很久很久以前的事。很久以前,你个子还那么小,就算掂起脚也够不到妈妈的手。你还记得么?你自己的历史也可以这么开头:“很久很久以前,有个小男孩---或者小女孩---那就是我。”但在那之...
