Vivid World History 2
 |
Description
Book Introduction
* The most dramatic moments in modern and contemporary history, remembered through 200 full-color photographs.
* Meticulous verification by Netflix's historical creators and world-class digital colorists.
* “A book that changed the way we see the times” Bestseller in the British Sunday Times
Old photographs, left in black and white, give us the false impression that the scenery of that time and the minds of the people at that time were colorless and odorless.
But over the past 100 years, we have lived through more colorful and turbulent times than ever before, from the publication of The Origin of Species, which overturned religious notions of God, to Hitler's rise to power amidst the Great Depression.
A full-color, almost perfect historical picture book has been created that recreates the most important period in human history, from 1850 to 1950.
The acclaimed bestseller, "The Color of History," features 200 of the most important scenes from modern and contemporary history, presented with vivid photographs and vivid storytelling.
In 2025, it was republished under the new title, "Vivid World History," for Korean readers who dream of a sensible future and seek the right direction suggested by history.
Couldn't history books be viewed as movies? For this book, historical colorist Maria Amaral spent over two years meticulously researching the past, meticulously selecting 10,000 photographic records into 200, perfectly recreating the most significant moments in modern and contemporary history.
The amazing images he created are large enough to cover an entire page, capturing the viewer's attention and maximizing the viewing experience.
This, coupled with the concise and compelling storytelling of historical documentary writer and presenter Dan Jones, completely changes the perception that "history is boring."
This book is a gift that offers a unique opportunity to travel back in time to everyone from self-proclaimed history experts to those just beginning to take an interest in history.
History repeats itself.
If you want to follow in yesterday's footsteps to understand today's world, why not start with a fun, interesting, and memorable book?
The more history passes, the more clearly we can see it!

Into the book
Women's demands for suffrage, or the right to vote, took on increasingly militant tones between 1912 and 1914.
Particularly in Britain and the United States, peaceful protests and political organizing have devolved into violent resistance movements.
The destruction of public facilities continued, ranging from arson, bomb threats, window smashing, and cutting telegraph lines to the vandalism of art pieces.
--- p.28
In the West, the 1920s were a revolutionary and symbolic era.
The era was known by various names, including the Roaring Twenties, the Golden Twenties, and the Zealous Twenties.
The economy and society began to recover from the damage caused by World War I.
New technologies like automobiles, airplanes, radio, and movies changed the way people traveled, communicated, and lived.
--- p.63
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889 and served in the Bavarian army during World War I.
Like many other Germans, he was outraged by the peace process.
But that anger was sometimes combined with a range of reactionary themes that didn't quite fit together: virulent racism, anti-Semitism, anti-communism, a powerful and fanatical patriotism, and a vague concern for state control of major industries and the media.
--- p.80
Then, between Monday, October 28, 1929, and Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the worst financial crisis in history occurred.
The value of the U.S. stock market fell by 25 percent.
Panicked traders sold off their stocks endlessly.
Lifelong savings were lost in an instant, and the safety of millions was destroyed as money flowed out like crazy.
--- p.106
World War II killed over 50 million people, and the war shaped global political and cultural attitudes that still reverberate today.
With the end of the fighting, another terrible conflict immediately followed.
The Cold War was a proxy war and nuclear arms race between communist Russia and the US-led Western liberals.
--- p.150
Poland's Nazi rulers forced Jews to wear white armbands for identification, closed their bank accounts, and relocated Jews from the outskirts and countryside to the city center.
A 3-meter-high wall was built around the ghetto, which was about 3.4 square kilometers in size, and over 400,000 people were imprisoned.
The situation was dire.
With a daily ration of 150 kilocalories, starvation and typhus were widespread.
--- p.160
Elizabeth II was born in 1926, the same year as Marilyn Monroe.
Becoming Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth on February 6, 1952, following the death of her father, King George VI, she was destined to remain in the public eye for much longer than Marilyn Monroe.

Publisher's Review
"Knowing and witnessing are two different things." ―Kim Gyul-wool (author, operator of the YouTube channel "Gyulwoo Bookstore")
A World History in Images: A Lifetime Memories of the World
As a global citizen living in the 21st century and as a citizen of a country, it is difficult to disagree with the saying, “A nation that forgets its history has no future.”
But history can be boring to both students and adults.
A huge amount of similar-looking incidents.
Confusing characters.
This is why the number of people constantly searching for new history books is increasing.
In that sense, 『A Vivid World History』 is the most intuitive, interesting, and new history book.
Never before has a history book centered around full-color images of important historical events.
This book doesn't contain the boring descriptions of "It was like that back then" and "It was like that back then."
Bestselling author and renowned storyteller Dan Jones's storytelling is concise and easy to understand, capturing the flow of history.
This book makes history history, but in an interesting and fun way.
“Black and white is a forgery.
“The world has always been colorful.”
Key moments from the most turbulent period in world history, 1850–1960
Over the past 100 years of modern history, imperialism has expanded across the globe, Third World countries have been invaded, and countries with long histories have fallen one after another under the pressure of great powers.
The world was engulfed in two great wars.
Many characters appeared during this period.
Tyrants and revolutionaries, geniuses and scientists, kings and queens, the last emperor of a doomed nation, and even the last Indian chief.
Having lived through turbulent times, they lived in a world that was inherently colorful.
Yet, we remember them and that era only in a faded form.
Finding and restoring their original colors, such as their eye color, skin color, hair color, and uniform color, is significant in that it restores their original nature and gives them vitality.
As the Times reports, purists say the color is counterfeit, but strictly speaking, black and white is counterfeit.
The world has always been colorful.
As is human life.
This book covers a wide range of topics, from wars, politics, revolutions, popular culture, science, and art, all within a century.
Technological advancements connected the world, only to plunge it into war again.
New images and art were introduced, amazing buildings were constructed, and science and technology were revolutionized.
Let's meet the vivid stories of the historical figures that appear in it.
“Photos that are more realistic and closer to life than those taken yesterday.”
An amazing archive of 200 restored photos
This book is a work of art.
Marina Amaral, a digital colorist and historical colorist, uses color restoration techniques that are far more complex than you might think.
Restoring black-and-white photographs, whose colors can only be judged by the shades of gray, into colorful colors is a task that requires constant historical research.
Military uniforms, medals, ribbons, rank insignia, military insignia, skin, eyes, hair, etc.
It's a battle where every little thing must be verified with visual data, historical context, and various documentary sources.
He would constantly dig and dig through the materials of the time, sometimes working on one page for over a month.
Of course, there were times when even this attempt wasn't necessary.
There are also moments when the artistic judgment of the person applying the color is required.
This moment is like EH
As Kaga said, history is “a dialogue between the past and the present,” and this is also the moment when historians must make choices based on their own judgment.
In addition to the verification and data, the overall atmosphere and light of the photo must be taken into consideration when coloring to enhance the completeness.
The restoration work, which crossed the boundaries of archival research and art, took about two years.
The selection of photos also took a lot of careful consideration.
We tried to cover a wide range of continents and cultures, including both well-known and now-forgotten pieces.
We tried to do justice to each era, and as a result, out of approximately 10,000 photographs, 9,800 were discarded, leaving only 200 in this book.
The book has become a remarkable modern archive of high collection value.
This is how the strongest visual modern history live was born.
