World History in Twelve Maps

About This Novel

This is not only a work that tells the history of the world through twelve maps, but also shows the development and evolution of maps from scratch to perfection. The twelve world maps selected in the book come from different historical stages and were created by cartographers from different countries and cultures. The author reveals to us that maps, far from being objective and true records, are influenced by the ideas and motives of the time and place. By interpreting the concepts and motivations behind maps, we can gain a glimpse into the fashion and spirit of the era in which the cartographer lived. In the author's interpretation, maps, as a tool for humans to understand the world, have become the prism of the trinity of "people-image-world", reflecting the historical and spiritual processes of mankind, and depicting an unprecedented three-dimensional picture of world history.
