Ok,

I don't know if this is a stupid question.

I would like to know if there is a book that could give me an overall view on the history of humankind.

The history that I studied is eurocentric, and I studied the history of other people and countries only when they encountered europeans people and their expansion in the world (for example: history of Africa before colonisation, history of Native Americans before Columbus, history of the East before XIX century).

Now, you can say to me: "just take a specific course on the history of other countries!"

Ok, but I would like to have a complete understanding of all the events that happened in a specific period of history. Not a very detailed study, just a general view.

For example: what happened in the XIV century?

• Europe: Black Death, Hundred Years' War;

• Asia? What happened in the meantime?

• Africa?

• America?

Thank you very much in advance!
