Description

The Chronological Dictionary of World History combines the virtues of a table of the most important events and dates in human history from the earliest times to the present day, a collection of the most interesting facts, and a brief commentary on the essence of the most significant discoveries, laws, decisions and deeds that have left a notable mark on the history of civilization. This is the history of people, with their achievements and failures, their flashes of insight and their eclipses, the inevitable chance events that sometimes change the course of history, and the countless absurdities that confirm its regularity. Here are presented the innumerable elements of the variegated mosaic of human existence: masterpieces of world culture, theaters of war, loud scandals, sensational discoveries, useful inventions, natural catastrophes and man-made disasters, laws and crimes, details of the lives of remarkable and famous people. This is World Time, compressed into a dense, capacious text. This book can be started from the first page, or from the middle, or even read selectively - in any case it will be interesting and instructive, as is always the case when one is dealing with living history.
