The top five Sunday Times bestseller.
'Breathtaking' Daily Mail.
'Astonishing' Sun.
'Shimmering' Spectator.
'Extraordinary' Daily Telegraph. The Colour of Time spans more than a hundred years of world history from the reign of Queen Victoria and the US Civil War to the Cuban Missile Crisis and beginning of the Space Age. It charts the rise and fall of empires, the achievements of science, industry and the arts, the tragedies of war and the politics of peace, and the lives of men and women who made history.
The book is a collaboration between a gifted Brazilian artist and a leading British historian. Marina Amaral has created 200 stunning images, using contemporary photographs as the basis for her full-colour digital renditions. Dan Jones has written a narrative that anchors each image in its context, and weaves them into a vivid account of the world that we live in today. A fusion of amazing pictures and well-chosen words, The Colour of Time offers a unique - and often beautiful - perspective on the past.

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
Sehr gelungen Bildband Die kolorierten Bilder sind sehr eindrucksvoll und gut gewählt. Die Begleittexte sind informativ und passend. Den historischen Bildern wird durch die Farbe sehr viel Leben eingehaucht. Es ist als, ob die Geschichte lebendig werden würde. Es ist allerdings dem Format des Taschenbuchs geschuldet, dass manchmal Details der Fotografien in der Buchmitte verloren gehen. Die Anschaffung des größeren gebunden Buchs scheint dadurch durchaus lobenswert, aber auch Leser des Taschenbuchs werden sich kaum enttäuscht wiederfinden.
