«Estudio de la Historia II» is an essay on universal history by Arnold J. Toynbee, published by Planeta-Agostini in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Toynbee develops a theory of universal history that departs from the dominant tendency in the historiography of his time. The book's success was a paradox: conceived for a minority, it ended up reaching a mass audience.
Published in 1985, it corresponds to number 24 of the Obras Maestras del Pensamiento Contemporáneo collection. The translation is by Luis Alberto Bixio and Luis Grasset, and the text was abridged by D.C. Somervell.
It is a reference work for readers of history and historiography seeking a global synthesis.
Arnold Joseph Toynbee was an English historian, a philosopher of history, an author of numerous books and a research professor of international history at the London School of Economics and King's College London. From 1918 to 1950, Toynbee was considered a leading specialist on international affairs; from 1929 to 1956 he was the Director of Studies at Chatham House, in which position he also produced 34 volumes of the Survey of International Affairs, a "bible" for international specialists in Britain.
