The internationally best-selling guide to the remarkable human story, for the curious of all ages. The world has existed for over 4 billion years, but humanity emerged much more recently. Here, E. H. Gombrich brings to life the complete history of human experience on Earth. He paints a colorful picture of notable people and events, from Confucius to Catherine the Great, from the invention of art to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This is a book dominated not by dates and facts, but by the dimension of human experience across the ages. It is both a guide to humanity's achievements and a keen witness to its weaknesses. The product of a generous and humane sensitivity, this is a timeless reference to our shared history.
