Paperback / softback

Description

Originally written in 1921 for the author’s grandchildren, Hendrik Willem van Loon’s The Story of Mankind has charmed generations with its warmth, simplicity and wisdom.

Van Loon’s witty, amiable tone animates the story of human history as a grand unfolding adventure.

Beginning with the origins of human life and sweeping forward to illuminate all of history, his incomparable prose and original illustrations present a lively rendering of the people and events that have shaped the world we live in today.

This new version has been brought up to date by Robert Sullivan, incorporating the most important developments of the early twenty-first century, including the war on terrorism and global warming.

Engagingly written, delightfully informative and always entertaining, this is the classic of all ages, for all ages.
