Domestic connoisseurs of the book almost do not know such H. G. Wells - the famous science fiction writer appears in this book as a brilliant connoisseur of history, an erudite interlocutor, capable, without getting bogged down in details and confusing details, to talk about Ancient Rome, about Confucius and Prince Gautam, about the Crusades. campaigns and personality of Napoleon Bonaparte. This book can by no means be called a textbook - its author is too cheerful and independent. Wells relates to the history of civilization reasonably and simply: as a well-educated and very inquisitive person to a fascinating phenomenon. He is interested in the same thing as any connoisseur of "historical reading": facts, events, but most importantly - people with their passions, intrigues, hopes and delusions. That is, everything that, from the creation of the world, has been so unusually attractive to living human life. "This pioneering book will reveal what modern men and women can learn about the past, about themselves, and how to live today." H. G. Wells
