Features: The purpose of this book is primarily to meet the needs of busy readers who wish to flip through the thick scroll of history and hope to make their vague memories of history clear again. The writing of this The Story of Civilization aims to enable readers to read the history of humanity as if reading a novel. This book briefly narrates the historical knowledge that humans have possessed so far, omitting everything dense and complex. Readers should be able to gain an overview of history from this book, and this overview is also the framework that must be possessed when studying the history of a specific era or country. Furthermore, this book may serve as an introductory text before reading the more precise and extensive work Outline of World History. However, the main purpose of this book is still to meet the needs of busy readers who have no time to read Outline of World History but wish to make their memories of human history clear again. This book is not a selection or abridgment of the aforementioned work. Outline of World History, in its own purpose, is not something that can be abbreviated. This book is a more generalized and popular historical read, as well as one written with a fresh perspective.
