Synopsis
This engaging world history was first written by E. H. Gombrich in 1936, when he was just out of graduate school and could not find work in Vienna because he was a Jew. He agreed to attempt a history book for children, and his book, in German, became a popular seller in Europe. He returned to his project in the last years of his life, updating and translating it into English--and the result is a book that both adults and children can enjoy. From creation up through his own time, Gombrich sketches out the broad strokes and fills in details--he is especially interesting on the Middle Ages. A LITTLE HISTORY...is generously wide in scope and includes Asia as well as the Islamic world. Especially compelling is his closing chapter, "The Small Part of the History of the World Which I Have Lived Through Myself: Looking Back."

Industry reviews
"[C]harming and admirably lucid...It is sometimes witty....What is very pleasing is the good humour and generosity of tone displayed throughout....I doubt if it could be bettered....I wish it had been available when I was young."
Literary Review - Alan Massie (09/01/2005)

"[A] timeless and engaging narrative of the human race."
Booklist - George Cohen (09/15/2005)

"A LITTLE HISTORY speaks to readers of any age. Its tone of voice is immediate and humane....The prose was tested by being read aloud, and it pleases the ear as well as the mind....[T]his is a book one goes to for the imagination and the resourcefulness of the storytelling, and for the way the teller takes the bird's eye moral measure of the individuals and groups he's chosen to include."
New York Observer - Mindy Aloff (11/28/2005)

"Apart from acquainting the reader with so many of the great set pieces of history...this is a book which teaches what it is to be civilized by its very tone, which is one of gentleness, curiosity and erudition."
Times Literary Supplement - A. N. Wilson (11/18/2005)

"As an older reader I can appreciate the clarity that Gombrich brings to complex topics and the surety that seems to elude most commentators."
Bloomsbury Review - R. K. Dickson
