Всемирная история. Краткий курс в комиксах. Т.2. От расцвета Китая до падения...

In the new volume of the carefully crafted, intelligible and incredibly funny "World History", the mischievous pencil Larry Gonika manages to tell about the leading civilizations of the ancient world - from India and China to Rome and its northern neighbors. He makes the reader remember the school material properly, dwelling in detail on key events and figures of antiquity. Since it was during this era that many of the world's major religions were born, Gonik pays attention to Jesus Christ, Confucius, Buddha and other great personalities whose teachings survived the centuries, but depicts them as ordinary people who sought to attract followers in their spiritual quests, but did not shy away from simple joys of life. The publication will surely appeal to history lovers and will find its place on the bookshelves next to the "serious" encyclopedias. (m)
