The hilarious minds behind A Day in the Life of a Poo, a Gnu and You have teamed up once again – this time to give a taste of the daily lives of the people, animals and objects who made history.

Featuring a day in the life of early humans as they paint mammoths on the walls of a cave, a fierce gladiator battling in the Colosseum and the first woman in space. And not forgetting the animals of history – from an Egyptian cat (worshipped as a god, of course) to an albatross flying over Rapa Nui and a dog in the trenches of the First World War.

Readers can also discover the stories behind famous constructions, including the Great Wall of China and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and delve into the secret diaries of a Viking, Isaac Newton’s cat and the wooden panel that became the Mona Lisa.

With over 90 entries told in the friendly, informative style of Mike Barfield and brought to life by Jess Bradley’s brilliantly funny illustrations, this book will have children learning and laughing as they go.

 

英國鬼才童書作家麥可.巴菲爾德和漫畫家潔斯.布萊德利攜手合作,把100個歷史上的人物、動物與器物化為主人翁,在一格格漫畫裡說出爆笑又有點冏的親身經歷,讓你見證這些英雄、意外事件與創造發明,如何影響了我們現在的生活:
 
•奇妙的古文明生活
史前時代有什麼動物,看看早期人類在洞穴裡畫的圖就知道!羅馬人的娛樂活動之一是去競技場看奴隸和罪犯打架戰鬥到死。埃及人為什麼在寵物貓死去時把遺體抹上油包成木乃伊?阿茲提克人為什麼要把骷髏頭放在架子上展示?
 
•知名君主和帝國
歷史上的皇帝都是男人嗎?盛極一時的羅馬帝國,最後竟然在三天內被入侵首都?成吉思汗建立了疆域最廣的帝國,卻沒有人知道他的長相?想讓國家變得更好的俄國沙皇彼得大帝,為什麼規定留鬍子的人要繳稅?
 
•衝突混亂與新秩序
羅馬帝國時代,支持不同賽馬隊伍的兩派觀眾發生衝突,在暴動中把首都君士坦丁堡燒毀了一大半。法國大革命就是平民把國王送上斷頭台,在路上圍觀砍下貴族的頭?人類什麼時候才停止把某些人當成奴隸,什麼時候女人、黑人開始享有平等權利?
 
•改變世界的大發現
十三世紀的伊斯蘭發明家,用精巧機械裝置打造出城堡鐘、機器人音樂家。十五世紀的歐洲大航海家都想從海上前往亞洲,結果有一位踏上美洲新大陸,還以為自己到了印度。顯微鏡和望遠鏡,讓我們看到細胞和星星,可以提出更偉大的問題
 
書中更用不同單元,補充進一步的資訊、歷史八卦與內幕。世界這麼大、歷史這麼久遠,本書邀請你搭乘時光機一同見證人類的重要時刻,哈哈大笑間就記住了,推動歷史與文明進步的關鍵人事物!
