World History in Eighteen Time and Space
by (germany) Written By Ewald Free Illustrated By Sofia Martinek
About This Novel
From the land of Africa 2.5 Million years ago to the super city of Cairo in the 21st century, from Chang'an in China with a population of one million in the 7th century AD to Hokkaido, the important town of Japan's Meiji Restoration, from the Mongolian world empire under Genghis Khan in the 13th century to the all-powerful German Empire in the 20th century... 18 Important periods in human history and 18 splendid areas of human civilization have jointly weaved an amazing and intertwined world history. Discovery and conquest, revolution and war, isolation and interconnection, center and periphery, who is changing the world? Who is being changed by the world? In 18 time and space stories, human civilization shines alternately, recreating the world picture full of stars. The history of the world is not the parkour of heroes, nor is it a relay race of progress. It is a carpet with a chaotic weave, full of holes and tears, filled with stories of little people and big people, heroes and losers, progress, interruption and forgetfulness. This story of world history is narrated to you by Ewald Free, professor of history at the University of Tübingen in Germany...
