Die Geschichte unserer Welt

H. G. Wells first entertained the idea of writing a history of the world in 1918. He wanted to tell the story as the story of mankind, thus sketching a moral program of the highest topicality: We want to teach the peoples of the earth the truth: that they all have a common origin, that they are all involved in a common work. The history of the world from Neanderthals to the world war; not only a history of wars and kings, but above all a history of art and science. As gripping as a novel.
