ISBN10: 1420963783, ISBN13: 9781420963786, [publisher: Digireads.Com] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - First published in 1921 and awarded the first ever Newbery Medal of 1922 for its contribution to children's literature, 'The Story of Mankind' follows the history of western civilization from prehistoric times to the early 20th century. Originally written for his children, Hendrik van Loon, a Dutch-American journalist and historian, both wrote and illustrated this classic for children to learn about world history in an entertaining way. From the very beginning of mankind, the development of writing and art, the rise of world religions, to the formation of nation-states and modern politics, van Loon emphasizes the people and events central to the monumental changes and achievements of human history. Beautiful and detailed, van Loon's epic work has withstood the test of time with its lively illustrations and warm and accessible prose, making these famous figures and grand world events relatable and interesting to children of all ages. A remarkable, accurate, and enduring work, 'The Story of Mankind' is a masterpiece of children's literature and continues to engage and inspire young readers to this day. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
