In 1915 Arnold J. Toynbee, a young historian of high academic distinction, as Lord Bryce described him, brought together pieces of evidence which graphically illustrated the details of the attempted extermination of an entire nation - a nation with a centuries-old historical existence. This edition is a reprint by the Armenian Apostolic Church of America of the original 1915 volume published by Hodder & Stoughton of London.

Arnold Toynbee's analysis of the rise and fall of civilizations has been acknowledged as one of the great achievements of twentieth-century scholarship. D.C. Somervell's abridgement of this monumental work is a great achievement in its own right. While reducing the work to one sixth of its original size, he has succeeded in preserving its method and character. The first volume of the abridgement presents Toynbee's philosophy of history as it appears in the first six volumes of the original work. This volume includes the Introduction; The Geneses of Civilizations; The Growth of Civilizations; The Breakdowns of Civilizations; and The Disintegrations of Civilizations. The second volume comprises volumes 7-10 of the original, including Universal States; Universal Churches; Heroic Ages; Contacts Between Civilizations in Space; Contacts Between Civilizations in Time; Law and Freedom in History; The Prospects of the Western Civilization; and Conclusion.

Toynbee's analysis of the rise and fall of civilizations has been acknowledged as an achievement without parallel in modern scholarship. This abridgement, while reducing the work to one-sixth of its original size, preserves its method, atmosphere, texture, and for the most part, the author's very words.

Arnold Toynbee, unanimement considéré comme un des plus grands historiens du XXe siècle, nous donne ici sa version de l'histoire de l'humanité. Il fait le récit du destin de toutes les grandes civilisations : Sumer, l'Egypte, l'Amérique centrale, l'Inde, la Chine, Rome, la Perse, l'empire arabe, Byzance, les Mongols, la chrétienté occidentale sont passés en revue. Un récit vivant, exhaustif et précis, mené de main de maître par un des derniers grands humanistes, l'un des derniers à pouvoir brasser une telle somme d'informations. Des chapitres d'analyse et de réflexion figurent également, sur le destin des civilisations, leurs relations avec la technologie, avec les autres civilisations.

Arnold J. Toynbee untersucht in seinem umfassenden Werk die Bedingungen, unter denen Hochkulturen entstehen und untergehen. Er stellt Fragen zu den Gründen für den Aufstieg und Fall von Zivilisationen und analysiert, warum einige Kulturen in Krisenzeiten scheitern, während andere aufblühen. Toynbee, ein bedeutender Historiker des 20. Jahrhunderts, betont, dass nicht Staaten, sondern Kulturen die entscheidenden historischen Faktoren sind. Seine Forschung, die auch außereuropäische Kulturen einbezieht, markiert eine Abkehr von der eurozentrischen Sichtweise und positioniert ihn als einen der großen Universalhistoriker. Toynbee beschreibt die Entwicklung der Geschichte als einen Prozess, der von der Dialektik von „Herausforderung und Antwort“ geprägt ist. Ähnlich wie im Universum gibt es Phasen von Bewegung und Stillstand, die auch die menschliche Geschichte bestimmen. Er argumentiert, dass Rezessionen den menschlichen Geist zu Innovationen anregen. In seinen Analysen berücksichtigt er geografische Faktoren, religiöse Bewegungen, ethnische Minderheiten sowie kulturelle und technische Revolutionen. Darüber hinaus bietet Toynbee eine tiefgehende Analyse der Weltordnung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und zeigt auf, dass viele Kulturen aufgrund fehlender gesellschaftlicher Erneuerungen scheiterten. Seine Erkenntnisse bieten wertvolle Lehren, um Fehlentwicklungen zu vermeiden und Krisen als Chancen zur Weiterentwicklung zu begreifen.

Comment comprendre l'histoire ? Comment peut-elle nous aider à appréhender le présent ? Peut-elle entrouvrir l'avenir ? Dépassant le cadre étroit des histoires nationales, Arnold Toynbee a pensé l' " histoire totale " de l'humanité. Il en fait une synthèse exceptionnellement claire.
