About This Novel
Wells' "A Brief History of the World" (also translated as "Outline of World History") has eight parts and thirty-eight chapters, starting from the earth in the universe and ending with the First World War, recreating the rise and fall of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, the United Kingdom, the United States, France and other superpowers. The author peels off the long and complicated historical materials and presents them one by one, in a simple and easy-to-understand narrative manner, making it a hearty read. It can be called a world history like "Historical Records". Once this book was published in 1920, it immediately caused a sensation and was reprinted many times.

After reading the front part of the book, it felt more like a popular science article on the geological industry,????
Good book, worth reading.
It feels less like a history book and more like natural science
The hydrogen fission here should be wrong
A classic history book. . . . . . . .
The understanding of the universe and the earth in this book published in the 1920s was beyond my expectation. The author has very rich natural knowledge. Those who study history now should study hard. However, there seems to be a problem with the translation. For some geological terms, the translation is not very clear.
Not boring
This book is also interesting |
Take a look at history
Worth reading!
