The World : A Family History
Sebag Montefiore, Simon
THE TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEARONE OF THE ECONOMIST’S BEST BOOKS OF
THE YEARFrom the master storyteller and internationally bestselling
author - the story of humanity from prehistory to the present day, told
through the one thing all humans have in common: family. We begin with
the footsteps of a family walking along a beach 950,000 years ago. From
here, Montefiore takes us on an exhilarating epic journey through the
families that have shaped our world: the Caesars, Medicis and Incas,
Ottomans and Mughals, Bonapartes, Habsburgs and Zulus, Rothschilds,
Rockefellers and Krupps, Churchills, Kennedys, Castros, Nehrus, Pahlavis
and Kenyattas, Saudis, Kims and Assads.
A rich cast of
complex characters form the beating heart of the story. Some are
well-known leaders, from Alexander the Great, Attila, Ivan the Terrible
and Genghis Khan to Hitler, Thatcher, Obama, Putin and Zelensky. Some
are creative, from Socrates, Michelangelo and Shakespeare to Newton,
Mozart, Balzac, Freud, Bowie and Tim Berners-Lee.
Others are
lesser-known: Hongwu, who began life as a beggar and founded the Ming
dynasty; Kamehameha, conqueror of Hawaii; Zenobia, Arab empress who
defied Rome; King Henry of Haiti; Lady Murasaki, first female novelist;
Sayyida al-Hurra, Moroccan pirate-queen. Here are not just conquerors
and queens but prophets, charlatans, actors, gangsters, artists,
scientists, doctors, tycoons, lovers, wives, husbands and children.
This is world history on the most grand and intimate scale - spanning
centuries, continents and cultures, and linking grand themes of war,
migration, plague, religion, medicine and technology to the people at
the centre of the human drama.
As spellbinding as fiction, The
World captures the story of humankind in all its joy, sorrow, romance,
ingenuity and cruelty in a ground-breaking, single narrative that will
forever shift the boundaries of what history can achieve.
