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.

评分——读恩斯特·贡布里希《世界小史》 当我们在读史书的时候,我们在读什么?是政客们的互相猜忌、搞阴谋和耍手腕,还是刀剑枪炮,成堆的尸体与废墟瓦砾?很多时候,历史总是冰冷无情。即使在中学课堂中,当我们初次接触历史,老师们总是强调时间地点、人物事件、背景原因等一...
评分《圣经》有云:日光之下,并无新事。既言“新事”,必有旧闻,古今新旧,是为历史。此语寥寥数言,就道出了历史的规律性。《圣经》诞生于人类的童年,已然以超脱者的姿态注意到了历史的循环往复。“一切历史都是当代史”,及至今天,兴乱治废、成王败寇的往事仍然改头换...
评分明明是写给孩子的世界史,却在第一页私心地写上“献给伊泽尔:因为是你在读,所以这本书一直都是属于你的”。因为这本世界史的每一篇手稿,都在礼拜日的约会里,朗读给伊泽尔听过。这大概是我今年见过最别致的秀恩爱方式了。 这本《世界小史》定位在12岁左右的青少年,但作为大...
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、...
如果保留一本书,我会选择它!这么好的书不要翻译了,精美的版画插图和精致简单的语言,还有里面的智慧,每次细读都在感叹。很难想象写书时作者才26岁。
评分简明好看,带我们回家。我们的家不仅是中国,而是所有的文明。
评分挺棒的,文笔幽默风趣,可读性很强的历史,哈哈。第二遍开始听~,到后面还似乎没听完
评分拿到Kindle3买的第一本书
