Our understanding of world history is changing, as new discoveries are made on all the continents and old prejudices are being challenged. In this truly global journey Andrew Marr revisits some of traditional histories, which have tended to be Eurocentric, telling mankind's story through tales of Greece and Rome and the crowned heads of Europe's oldest monarchies. Here he widens the lens, concentrating as much, if not more on the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Instead of focusing on one episode of history taking place in one place, he draws surprising parallels and makes fascinating connections, focusing on a key incident or episode to tell a larger story: for instance, the liberation of the serfs in Russia, which took place at the same time as the American Civil War, which resulted in the abolition of slavery. But he begins the account with an episode in the life of Tolstoy, who racked up huge gambling debts and had to sell land and slaves as a result. Fresh and exciting, this is popular history at its very best.

读过关于中国的章节 可读性很强 犀利有趣 喜欢看一句话概括中国重要事件 可以快速了解西方视角

对这本书还是挺失望的，写的太拽了。作者文笔是不错，但买历史书不是为了看故事写的多精彩，而是了解历史的来龙去脉。尤其是法国大革命那段，给我一种看小说的错觉，真实无语了。还有对于中国的部分，还是西方人典型的惯例思维，知道中国在世界历史的重要地位，就是了解太少、对于与各地的关联不加深入、也不想多说的那种。总之一切都是一欧美西方人的视角，这本书应该改名叫《西方人眼中的世界历史》。

可以配合同名8集记录片看， 汗青堂也翻译了， 感觉适合读完欧洲史后再来读， 在框架搭的比较厚以后再来填这样的细节，不然读后也容易忘
