Ernst Gombrich, one of the prominent theorists of the twentieth century, achieved what even today seems incredible: to narrate the history of humanity, from the Stone Age to the age of nuclear energy, briefly, comprehensively, and convincingly. Confident in the curiosity of his young readers, as well as those who have remained young at heart, he brings to life with simple and vivid language the history of the world, the achievements of mankind, the transition from one historical period to another, the most important personalities and conflicts in such a way that the reader immediately grasps this long and complex journey.
The book was first published in Vienna in 1935. In 2001, after the author's death, this volume, which had been circulated in hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and had already been translated into 21 languages, was reissued in a new edition, with corrections and additions by Gombrich himself, and with a foreword by his granddaughter, Leonie Gombrich, describing the writing process from the family's perspective.

The book is excellent. It provides information about world history that is not widely known. As the title suggests, it is a brief history of the world, so it does not include all the events that have occurred, but it covers the most important ones. If I found one negative about this book, it is the fact that it only touches on World War II superficially (but the author explains why he does not go into depth) and that in the middle of the book it gets a bit tiring with the amount of information given about the Popes. In short, if you ask for my opinion, I say you should get it!
A remarkable book as it presents people and events that are not taught in our own History... It is enjoyable to read, written in short chapters, and does not tire with characters and dates.... Someone who is interested in and reads History will love it...
A relaxing book that describes a very large part of human history in a light-hearted way. I give it 4 stars because in some cases the description of certain events seemed too simplified. However, it is very easy to read.
Interesting book from which you definitely learn things you didn't know about the history of humanity. Written in a smart and engaging way that keeps your interest.
Simply and comprehensibly, Gombrich mentions the most important points of world history.
