Synopsis "A Little History of the World: Illustrated Edition (Little Histories) "

A special edition of the international bestseller that is "sumptuously illustrated. . . . Perfect for reading to alert and curious children, but it's even better as a secret pleasure, read alone, with no children in sight." (Philip Kennicott, Washington Post) E. H. Gombrich's A Little History of the World, an engaging and lively book written for readers both young and old, vividly brings the full span of human experience on Earth to life, from the stone age to the atomic age. Gombrich's text paints a colorful picture of wars and conquests; of grand works of art; of the advances and limitations of science; of remarkable people and remarkable events. But Gombrich was, first and foremost, the best-known art historian of his time; his beloved Little History suggests illustrations on every page. Featuring more than two hundred illustrations--most in color--this beautiful edition incorporates a wide range of images, showing us the earliest cave paintings, the classic sculptures of the ancient Greeks, beautiful Islamic calligraphy, oil portraits of the mighty through the ages, and much more. With a high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this enhanced edition will have an important place on family bookshelves for many years to come.

Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich (Vienna, 1909-London, 2001), Austrian-British art historian, achieved global fame with The Story of Art –translated into more than 20 languages and an educational reference for decades–. Of Jewish origin, he left Vienna in 1936 due to the rise of Nazism and settled in England, where he developed an exceptional academic career: director of the Warburg Institute (1959-1976) and professor at Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard

His legacy includes titles such as The Art and its History (20 million copies) and recognitions like the title of Sir (1972), British Order of Merit, and the Goethe Prize (1994). After his retirement in 1976, he published fundamental essays and consolidated his influence as a theorist, combining intellectual rigor with an accessible style that revolutionized artistic dissemination.
