Five Thousand Years of the World
by I
About This Novel
"Five Thousand Years of the World" is a popular history book without the scholarly atmosphere of a serious historical work, and it got rid of the intolerance of nationalism and even Eurocentrism earlier than many works of that era. The book focuses on the heritage of human culture, including ideas, culture, religion and other heritages, which are truly valuable things in the course of human civilization. This book discusses the history of the world spanning five continents from the formation of the earth, the origin of living things and human beings to the modern day World War I. Wells summarized the purpose of this book as "to show in a straightforward manner to men of average intelligence the inevitable development of political, social, and economic organization into a world federation if civilization is to continue."
