The book will put the history that last several thousands of years across the five continents into a string with lively language and cleat chapters. It will introduce the significant events and figures of the West and the East of the past and the present. The ups and downs of the five thousand years of history will be displayed with 200.000-odd words and 100-odd precious history pictures. Though we try to display the truth of the world history in description, a book on history cannot embrace all the rises and falls, customs, regulations and systems of the history of the world. We just want to the concise language will enable readers to feel the magnificence of the national strength, economic skyrocketing of Nedelen, the brutality of the two wars, the toughness and power of the Napoleon army, the elegance of English poets and the romantic freedom of the French writers. In addition to letting the readers dream between the pictures and texts, we hope to simplify the heavy historical materials and make the wisdom in the history assist their life.
