About This Novel
In 1920, Fang Long wrote an enlightenment version of general history "The Story of Mankind" for young readers. After its publication, this book won the first "Newbery" Gold Medal, swept the world, was translated into nearly 30 languages, and sold more than 10 million copies. In 1925, it was quickly translated into Chinese and became a popular enlightenment book on world history in the cultural circles of the Republic of China. From the 1990s to the present, with the publication of a new Chinese translation, this book has become a standard for intellectual youth, inspiring people to re-understand human history from ancient times to the present with a wise and broad vision. "The Story of Mankind" overlooks the entire development process of civilization from a position at the top of history. Unlike ordinary history books, this book does not contain boring historical terms. It is more like an exciting journey of exploration. From the earliest "human-like" ancestors to the decline of the ancient city of Babylon, from the birth of Greek civilization to the rise of the Roman Empire, from religious disputes in the Middle Ages to the First World War, the book not only depicts important nodes in the process of civilization, but also clarifies the key context of world evolution.
