Books with title Ancient man: The beginning of civilizations

As for art and the sciences, these did not interest them very much. They regarded with suspicion a man who could play the lute or who could write a poem about Spring and only thought him little better than the clever fellow who could walk the tightrope or who had trained his poodle dog to stand on its hind legs. They left such things to the Greeks and to the Orientals, both of whom they despised, while they themselves spent their days and nights keeping order among the thousand and one nations of their vast empire.

Ancient Man – The Beginning of Civilizations is a children's history book that offers a thorough understanding of the growth and the experience of the human race. The author explains the emergence of man from the darkness of prehistory through all the phases of civilization and human evolution, taking the reader's hand and leading him to explore the obscure wilderness of the bygone ages.

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.To Hansje and Willem, My darling boys, You are twelve and eight years old. Soon you will be grown up. You will leave hpnie and begin your own lives. I have been thinking about that day, wondering what I could do to help you. At last, I have had an idea.

So I took my faithful Corona and five bottles of ink and a box of matches and a bale of paper and began to work upon the first volume. If all goes well there will be eight more and they will tell you what you ought to know of the last six thousand years.

My darling boys, You are twelve and eight years old. Soon you will be grown up. You will leave home and begin your own lives. I have been thinking about that day, wondering what I could do to help you. At last, I have had an idea. The best compass is a thorough understanding of the growth and the experience of the human race. Why should I not write a special history for you? So I took my faithful Corona and five bottles of ink and a box of matches and a bale of paper and began to work upon the first volume. If all goes well there will be eight more and they will tell you what you ought to know of the last six thousand years. But before you start to read let me explain what I intend to do. I am not going to present you with a textbook. Neither will it be a volume of pictures. It will not even be a regular history in the accepted sense of the word.
