A Little History of the World
A Little History of the World - Ernst Gombrich
January 2009
Tony gave this to me for Christmas. This was a history book written for children which tells a story about world history without bogging it down with too many details and dates. The chapters are short and overall it's a really easy read. I enjoyed it immensely because it's been a long time since I've studied history and it brought back into focus which events happened first and how various big events are tied together. It gave a great overview and inspired me to research a few different things through the course of reading it. However, I do find the title a bit misleading. Although it is called A Little History of the World, what it should be called is A Little History of the Western World with Brief Mention of Other Parts of Other Parts.
Also, I liked the cover of the book.
