“From Alexander the Great to Zelensky, via Caesars and Rothschilds, plagues and love affairs, the latest book from international bestseller Simon Sebag Montefiore is nothing less than the history of humanity itself. In The World: A Family History the historian, novelist and broadcaster takes us from the first footsteps of a family 950,000 years ago right up to present day.

The multi-award-winning author of Young Stalin, The Romanovs and Jerusalem: The Biography returns to Jewish Book Week after previous sell-outs to discuss this fresh and spellbinding take on the global human story. In conversation with Natalie Livingstone.”
