房龙是20世纪享誉全球的通识历史作家，威尔?杜兰特赞誉的“通识教育者”，影响一代人的人文启蒙大师。
①房龙的偶像是“人文主义大师”伊拉斯谟，他曾评价后者“像个巨大的海狸，日夜不停地筑造理智和常识的堤坝，惨淡地希望能挡住不断上涨的无知和偏执的洪水”，这也是房龙的毕生理想。
《人类的故事》是房龙跨世纪经典100周年典藏巨献。
①《人类的故事》是房龙的经典成名巨作，1921年出版以后荣获首届“纽伯瑞”金奖，席卷全球，销量超过1000万册，至今仍然畅销，是一部延续近100年的历史入门经典；
②中文版*早出现于民国，经80年代一直到现代，《人类的故事》影响了从知识界到普通读者的世界史启蒙认知。

内容简介

本书采取英汉双语的形式出版美国学者房龙的代表作《人类的故事》，书中还有大量作者亲自手绘的黑白插图。
本书对于人类从起源到每一阶段的历史都有精辟而凝练的论述。作者以轻巧俏皮的文笔，睿智地展现了人类历史的浩荡长卷。其中既有节奏明快的“大历史”，也不乏真正影响人类文明进程的细节。
房龙曾说：“我写此书只有一条原则：哪个国家或个人产生了一种新思想或完成了一项创新，若没有这些，整个人类的历史就会不同？这不是个人嗜好的问题，而是一个冷静得近似数学的判断问题。”因此，无论是对历史一无所知的人，还是浸染在浩繁巨著中的专家，都可以从中获得启发和阅读的快感。
本书作为房龙的代表作，出版后销量达到上千万册，并被翻译成几十种文字畅销全世界。目前，国内的同类图书品种中，主要是中文版，本书采取英汉双语形式出版，让读者在阅读经典作品的同时，亦能提升英文阅读水平。

精彩书摘

We live under the shadow of a gigantic question mark.
Who are we?
Where do we come from?
Whither are we bound?
Slowly, but with persistent courage, we have been pushing this question mark further and further towards that distant line, beyond the horizon, where we hope to find our answer.
We have not gone very far.
We still know very little but we have reached the point where (with a fair degree of accuracy), we can guess at many things.
In this chapter I shall tell you bow (according to our best belief) the stage was set for the first appearance of man.
If we represent the time during which it has been possible for animal life to exist upon our planet by a line of this length, then the tiny line just below indicates the age during which man (or a creature more or less resembling man) has lived upon this earth.
Man was the last to come but the first to use his brain for the purpose of conquering the forces of nature. That is the reason why we are going to study him, rather than cats or dogs or horses or any of the other animals, who, all in their own way, have a very interesting historical development behind them.
In the beginning, the planet upon which we live was (as far as we now know) a large ball of flaming matter, a tiny cloud of smoke in the endless ocean of space. Gradually, in the course of millions of years, the surface burned itself out, and was covered with a thin layer of rocks. Upon these lifeless rocks the rain descended in endless torrents, wearing out the hard granite and carrying the dust to the valleys that lay hidden between the high cliffs of the steaming earth.
Finally the hour came when the sun broke through the clouds and saw how this little planet was covered with a few small puddles which were to develop into the mighty oceans of the eastern and western hemispheres.
Then one day the great wonder happened. What had been dead, gave birth to life.
The first living cell floated upon the waters of the sea.
For millions of years it drifted aimlessly with the currents. But during all that time it was developing certain habits that it might survive more easily upon the inhospitable earth. Some of these cells were happiest in the dark depths of the lakes and the pools. They took root in the limy sediments which had been carried down from the tops of the hills and they became plants. Others preferred to move about and they grew strange jointed legs, like scorpions and began to crawl along the bottom of the sea amidst the plants and the pale green things that looked like jelly-fishes. Still others (covered with scales) depended upon a swimming motion to go from place to place in their search for food, and gradually they populated the ocean with myriads of fishes.
Meanwhile the plants had increased in number and they had to search for new dwelling places. There was no more room for them at the bottom of the sea. Reluctantly they left the water and made a new home in the marshes and on the mudbanks that lay at the foot of the mountains. Twice a day the tides of the ocean covered them with their brine. For the rest of the time, the plants made the best of their uncomfortable situation and tried to survive in the thin air which surrounded the surface of the planet. After centuries of training, they learned how to live as comfortably in the air as they had done in the water. They increased in size and became shrubs and trees and at last they learned how to grow lovely flowers which attracted the attention of the busy big bumble-bees and the birds who carried the seeds far and wide until the whole earth had become covered with green pastures, or lay dark under the shadow of the big trees.
But some of the fishes too had begun to leave the sea, and they had learned how to breathe with lungs as well as with gills. We call such creatures amphibious, which means that they are able to live with equal ease on the land and in the water. The first frog who crosses your path can tell you all about the pleasures of the double existence of the amphibian.

前言/序言

For Hansje and Willem:
When I was twelve or thirteen years old, an uncle of mine who gave me my love for books and pictures promised to take me upon a memorable expedition. I was to go with him to the top of the tower of Old Saint Lawrence in Rotterdam.
And so, one fine day, a sexton with a key as large as that of Saint Peter opened a mysterious door.“Ring the bell,”he said,“when you come back and want to get out,”and with a great grinding of rusty old hinges he separated us from the noise of the busy street and locked us into a world of new and strange experiences.
For the first time in my life I was confronted by the phenomenon of audible silence. When we had climbed the first flight of stairs, I added another discovery to my limited knowledge of natural phenomena—that of tangible darkness. A match showed us where the upward road continued. We went to the next floor and then to the next and the next until I had lost count and then there came still another floor, and suddenly we had plenty of light. This floor was on an even height with the roof of the church, and it was used as a storeroom. Covered with many inches of dust, there lay the abandoned symbols of a venerable faith which had been discarded by the good people of the city many years ago. That which had meant life and death to our ancestors was here reduced to junk and rubbish. The industrious rat had built his nest among the carved images and the ever watchful spider had opened up shop between the outspread arms of a kindly saint.
The next floor showed us from where we had derived our light. Enormous open wi 人类的故事（英汉双语） 电子书 下载 mobi epub pdf txt

六一八用尽满减加券加京豆等最终价格很优惠买的很开心，忽然觉得以前没等到活动时候买，不会领券用真浪费不少钱。这个系列大概买了有十本了，质量不错，中英文在同一页很方便，缺点是字比较小看着有点累，前面的几本有撕开塑封检查一下，到后面买的全都没撕了留着看时再撕，相信京东的质量，喜欢京东的书，前前后后花不少钱了，还会继续花，看书使人愉悦
