A Little History of the World
Summary
E. H. Gombrich's world history, an international best seller now available in English for the first time, is a text dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity's achievements, and an acute witness to its frailties. In 40 concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of humanity 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. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history for the curious of all ages, but especially children. Translated by Caroline Mustill.

E. H. Gombrichs lille Verdenshistorie
Summary
E.H. Gombrich egen historie er næsten mere kendt bogen i sig selv. E.H. Gombrich var kunsthistoriker skrev hele verdens historie på kun 6 uger. I 1935 lavede han ikke andet end at skrive på hans Lille verdenshistorie. Om morgenen og om eftermiddagen brugte han til at finde historisk materiale som han skrev i sin bog om aftenen. Helt frem til sin død i 2001 har redigerede Gombrich løbende i sin lille verdenshistorie. "E.H. Gombrichs lille verdenshistorie" er primært for unge læsere eller lyttere. Dermed ikke sagt at voksne ikke kan have stor glæde af at få en kort og hurtig viden i verdenshistorien.
