«La historia del mundo sin los trozos aburridos» is the historical essay by Fernando Garcés Blázquez, published by Editorial Ariel in paperback (432 pp.).
A selection of famous episodes and figures from world history seen through their paradoxes: Socrates in the Athenian market, Caligula laughing at his consuls, Tamerlane's promise at Sivas, Heine and the burning of books, Marc Bloch and the faith of men. With humour and a brisk pace, it traces a panorama of humanity while dispensing with the superfluous.
Published in 2009, it is number 1 in Editorial Ariel's Claves collection; the volume includes a bibliography.
For anyone seeking an enjoyable first approach to world history, with curiosities and humour, without needing prior knowledge.
