{"product_id":"book-3666","title":"A Little History of the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1935, with a doctorate in art history and no prospect of a job, twenty-six-year-old Ernst Gombrich was invited to attempt a history of the world for younger readers. Amazingly, he completed the task in an intense six weeks, and \u003cem\u003eEine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser\u003c\/em\u003e was published in Vienna to immediate success. It is now an international bestseller and available in almost thirty languages across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn forty concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of man from the Stone Age to the atomic bomb. In between emerges a colorful picture of wars and conquests, grand works of art, and the spread and limitations of science. This is a text dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of mankind’s experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity’s achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49316045717808,"sku":"BD3666","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49316045816112,"sku":"ZE3666","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49316045848880,"sku":"ZM3666","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/3666-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775567161","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-3666","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
