The
Cartoon History of the Universe III: From the Rise of Arabia to the Renaissance
by Larry Gonick
Book Description:
An irreverent survey in comics spanning world history from the birth
of Islam to the Byzantine Empire to the Italian Renaissance.
Larry Gonick's celebrated series The Cartoon History of the Universe
is a unique fusion of world history and the comics medium, a work of serious
scholarship and a masterpiece of popular literature. Praised by historians
as a narrative and interpretive tour de force, Gonick's clever illustrations
deliver important information with a deceptively light tone, teaching us
about the people and events that have shaped our world.
This long-awaited new volume covers the Middle Ages around the globe,
including the origin and spread of Islam; West Africa and the cross-Saharan
trade; Central Asia and the Byzantine Empire; the European Dark Ages and
the Crusades; the Mongol conquests; the Black Death; the Ottoman Empire;
the Italian Renaissance; and the rise of Spain, leading up to Columbus's
departure for the New World. Highlighting key events and retrieving oft-neglected
historical connections, Gonick offers an historical survey that is at once
multicultural, humanistic, skeptical, and laugh-out-loud funny.
