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.
