Sobre IBD

Originally published in 1919, this early work by legendary English author H. G. Wells is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Its 667 pages contain a wealth of information on the history of humanity and include chapters on The First Civilisations, The Languages of Mankind, The Greeks and the Persians and much more. This ambitious and fascinating work was written by Wells in response to the poor textbooks of his time and is thoroughly recommended for those interested in the history of Man. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
