World History in Comics

A variety of objects can tell us about the lives of people in the past. Scientists call them artifacts. Documents, books, letters, paintings, and even ordinary clay pots. Yes, ancient ceramics are called clay chronicles - they can tell us so many interesting things about the past. And not only kings, military leaders, and ancient scientists have something to tell the world, simple artisans and peasants, merchants and warriors also have interesting stories to tell. All of them - aristocrats and poor people, wise men and simpletons, cats, dogs, and elephants, and even bronze bowls and wooden tablets - are given a chance to speak on the pages of this book!
What will the first wheel in history tell us? And the brush with which the great Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa? What do the ancient Egyptian cat and the cat of the English scientist Isaac Newton purr about? What stories has an Italian astronomer with a strange name prepared for us, and what has a miniature artist from India prepared for us? Together with the heroes of this book, we will go on an unforgettable journey through all eras from ancient times to the present day and see history as no one has ever seen it before.
It is no coincidence that the book speaks to the reader in the language of comics - this way the direct speech of the characters sounds brighter, more individual, and the story becomes visual and close. The best way to get to know history and love it is to personally communicate with the heroes of the past! If you want to learn more about the era, just open the "Close-up" section, and "Brief News" will tell you about what else was happening in the world at the same time.
