Amazingly, he completed the task in an intense six weeks, and \u003cem\u003eEine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser\u003c\/em\u003e was published in Vienna to immediate success. It is now an international bestseller and available in almost thirty languages across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn forty concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of man from the Stone Age to the atomic bomb. In between emerges a colorful picture of wars and conquests, grand works of art, and the spread and limitations of science. This is a text dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of mankind's experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity's achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123135070448,"sku":"2940169718652","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169718652_p0.jpg?v=1763691932","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169718652","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
