Good Condition. Wear and tear on cover. Some discolorations and minor markings on a few pages. Solid and intact. Please see photos for visual details. Published in 1949 by Doubleday & Company, H. G. Wells's The Outline of History presents an ambitious account of human civilization, tracing the development of societies from prehistoric times through the major events and transformations of the modern world. Written by the celebrated British author best known for his science fiction, Wells sought to make world history accessible to a broad readership. Across two volumes, Wells examines the emergence of early civilizations, the growth of religions and empires, major political changes, and the evolution of human society. His sweeping narrative connects events across different regions and historical periods, offering readers a broad perspective on the forces that have shaped the modern world. This two-volume vintage set is appealing to collectors of classic history books, readers interested in H. G. Wells beyond his fiction, and those building a traditional home library. It also offers a glimpse into the popular historical writing and illustrated reference publishing of the mid-twentieth century.…
