The Story of Mankind remains a marvel: a sparkling, erudite, idiosyncratic tour through the human experience from the mists of prehistory to the smoking aftermath of World War I. In van Loon's charming, virtuosic pages we meet scoundrels and ruffians and poets; we engage with Pericles, Mohammed and Metternich, Confucius and Savonarola and Voltaire; we stand amazed anew before Egyptian hieroglyphs, Gothic arches, Florentine frescoes and the steam engine. Ninety-two years on, modern accretions and all, what a pageant this charming narrator continues to offer us! --Meghan Gurdon
Henrik Willem Van Loon received worldwide acclaim for the many books that he wrote and illustrated. Among his most beloved are The Story of the Bible and The Life and Times of Rembrandt. Robert Sullivan is the best-selling author of Rats and My American Revolution.
