A Little History of the World



A Little History of the World (originally in German, Eine kurze Weltgeschichte fĂĽr junge Leser) was written in 1935, by Vienna native Ernst Gombrich (then 25 years old), who is now best known as an art historian and for his classic work, The Story of Art (first published in 1950, currently in its 16th edition). The short history chronicles human development from the inventions of cavemen to the results of the First World War.
