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.
