Summary

Don’t have time to read a whole history textbook or a set of encyclopedias? Check out H.G. Wells’ A Short History of the World for a bite-sized portion of human history. From the origin of our planet, to the great civilizations, to the Great War, follow Wells on this ambitious journey spanning thousands of years.

Although H.G. Wells is known as “the father of science fiction,” his interest in biology and politics also compelled him to write about the physical world around him. A Short History of the World offers the chance to connect with a great creative mind on a literal and intellectual level. Discover why Albert Einstein recommended this book for understanding the course of civilization throughout history.
