«Breve Historia del Mundo» is a historical essay by Ernst H. Gombrich, published in 1999 by Ediciones Península in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
In the form of an epistle-dialogue, the work covers universal history from its beginnings to the contemporary world in a plain tone, without technicalities. Gombrich reviews stages, events and anecdotes with an accessible, approachable focus, and his optimism gives a novel-like rhythm to a work that awakens curiosity about the past.
This edition belongs to the Atalaya collection (no. 38). Translation by José Luis Gil Aristu of the original 'Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser', originally published in 1936.
A suitable read for young people and adults seeking a first approach to history, as it treats fundamental questions with clarity and closeness.
Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich was an Austrian-born art historian who, after settling in England in 1936, became a naturalised British citizen in 1947 and spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom.
