Amazingly, he completed the task in an intense six weeks, and \u003ci\u003eEine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser\u003c\/i\u003e was published in Vienna to immediate success, and is now available in seventeen languages across the world. Toward the end of his long life, Gombrich embarked upon a revision and, at last, an English translation. \u003ci\u003eA Little History of the World\u003c\/i\u003e presents his lively and involving history to English-language readers for the first time. Superbly designed and freshly illustrated, this is a book to be savored and collected. In forty concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of man 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. This is a text dominated not by dates and facts, but by the sweep of mankind's experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity's achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \\n\u003c\/div\u003e \\n\u003c\/div\u003e \\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \\n\u003c\/div\u003e \\n\u003c\/div\u003e \\n\u003cdiv class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__genres\" data-testid=\"genresList\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SuperBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52782308786457,"sku":null,"price":864.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/3898\/0377\/files\/WWW.PICKABOOK.COM_.PK-7_cf5817cf-eac9-42bb-9f24-366084e2691a.png?v=1789995652","url":"https:\/\/superbooks.pk\/products\/a-little-history-of-the-world-by-e-h-gombrich","provider":"SuperBooks Pakistan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
