General History of the World (2 Volumes in Total)
by (english) Herbert George Wells
About This Novel
It is indeed not an easy task to write an interesting, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand world history work that does not require more than a million words, but Wells has accomplished this seemingly impossible task well in "A General History of the World". This book traces the beginnings of human civilization to World War II. The ups and downs of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, Christian society, the Islamic world, and great powers such as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States are presented to readers in an orderly manner. The rich knowledge and broad vision provided by "General History of the World" are not inferior to any masterpieces of imperial history.
