About the book
This is an unusual book on history. You will not find stories about the life of kings, the descriptions of military battles and the political victories of the emperors … The main characters of this book are ordinary people, the same as you and I, who lived at the most different times and in the most different corners of our planet. They are given a word – men, women, children tell us about how they worked, fought, had fun, created and changed our world.
Starting with the appearance of life on Earth and ending with the events of the 20th century, walking for centuries, without calling names and accurate dates, the author describes the key milestones in the development of mankind and shows the whole path that we went through our history, through great discoveries and inventions, wars, epidemics and climatic changes, colors and sunsets of civilizations.
