W. W. Norton & Company The Cartoon History of the Universe III: From the Rise of Arabia to the Renaissance

Un buen libro para disfrutar de la historia con mucho sentido del humor. Divertido y con dibujos que reflejan el mejor arte de Gonick

This book is more than a comic. It imparts knowledge minus the yawns. History is one subject which is thought of as dry, boring and eminently put-down-able. Not so with Larry Gonick and his collection of 'The Comic History of the Universe' comic books. Though this comic book is great for laughs, it also teaches us factually correct, unbiased versions of events that happened centuries ago. This book ( and others in this series) should be included in the syllabus of all educational institutions who need to make education fun. The author has respect and the right amount of sympathy for those individuals and societies which fell behind or were pushed there. There is no unwanted hero worship and exaggerated tales about history's winners. Caravans: A Novel of Afghanistan

Brilliant book , well written and illustrated . Educational a good read for children and adults .

This is the third and final instalment of Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe. This is the best way to learn about history. It's impartial, unbiased and hilarious. He finds the humor in even the most gruesome historical event. I wish that this was how they taught history in schools. Highly recommended.

Comediest cartoonist saying history in more cartoonist way
