Features: "It looks like a book for children, but it is actually like that. The illustrations adorn it with brilliance. These illustrations initially gave a hasty, careless impression, but then the reader suddenly realizes that they are indeed explaining the main text and reinforcing the historian's intention. The American public demanded it to be printed 32 times in five years, and 11 years later, they were still reading The Story of Mankind. It has been translated into many languages, and in this regard, only Upton Sinclair can match him. Except for Russia, it has become one of the most important introductory history books of this era in at least other places. We set aside the main point and approach it from the side, set aside the big picture and focus on the small details, and then our writing becomes lively. The The Story of Mankind written by the modern historian A. de Jongh is merely a small volume. Yet, to write about five thousand years of history across tens of thousands of miles, it is even more striking and captivating from the beginning. Written in this way, though it focuses on a single branch or section, it is enough to highlight the core of the event and the soul of the characters as the subject."
