The Story of Mankind

History is a huge "tower of experience" built by the "old man of time" in numerous fields in the past years. It is not easy to climb to the top of this ancient building structure to get a full view. There is no elevator there, but young people have strong steps and can finally achieve their goals. Here, I give you the key to open the door of history. When you come back, you will understand why I am so enthusiastic.

Van Loon and his "The Story of Man" have really greatly influenced me and made me have a new understanding of history. The history I have seen in the past is the story of the struggle of the ancient Chinese court, and more is the biography of the characters. "The Story of Man" let me see a complete picture of history. As a member of mankind, this background is indispensable.

The history of Van Loon is not a gag, but a Western-style humor and philosophy. For example, "The wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf. The dog who learns to ride a bicycle and smoke a pipe is still a dog. A businessman who still has his mind stuck in the 16th century but drives a new Rolls-Royce car is still a man with the brains of the 16th century." Van Loon won the literary prize for his beautiful writing, but in fact, he is more outstanding in his sense of philosophical mission to history, This can be seen from his series of works.
