A lively and attractive story history that is showing common threads in cultures that gave birth to us.
It is the first section in a bold new series that tells the stories of all people, combining historical events from Europe to the remote coast of China in the Middle East, while still gives weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauur provides extensive scope and vivid attention to personal life that gives meat to abstract claims about human history. This narrative employs the methods of history “below from below – to connect literature, epic traditions, personal letters and accounts – kings and leaders to connect with the lives of those people. The result is a pantent tapestry of human behavior from which we can conclude the direction of the world’s events and the reasons behind them.
