Seventy years ago the 26-year-old Ernst Gombrich, later the author of the global bestseller The Story of Art, wrote a history of the world for younger readers. Now available for the first time in English, this timeless book tells the story of man from the stone age to the atomic bomb. In between emerges a colourful picture of wars and conquests, grand works of art, and the spread and limitations of science. Each chapter is accompanied by an original illustration by Clifford Harper.
