10 Year Old becomes an author with writing book on world history

on Feb 11, 2022

Zac Sangeeth, a 10-year-old boy, writes a brilliant book on world history titled “World History in 3 points”. He aims to educate his readers and give a bird’s view of history by presenting every topic in three bite-sized capsules.

The book is published by Hachette India. It covers 101 topics from “Ancient Egypt and imperial China to the Dark Ages and the Industrial Revolution, from Chanakya and Max Weber to Alexander to Ashoka, and from the Crusades and the Iranian Revolution to Socrates and Hegel”.

"In this era of fleeting attention spans and our addiction to micro-messaging platforms like Twitter and Instagram, history is still that odd subject that makes readers search information haystacks for a needle of insight. This is because normal history books take a worm's eye view — delving into minute historical details. My book 'World History in 3 Points' takes a bird's eye view of history — a broad, to-the-point approach. I try cutting through details, simplifying complexities, distilling them into summaries," author Zac Sangeeth told PTI.

According to the publishers, focusing on fundamental facts, vital events, important personalities, major milestones, and significant turning points, every topic in the book consists of three bite-sized paragraphs. "Clear, concise and comprehensive, 'World History in 3 Points' is guaranteed to help you discover that the more you know, the more you want to!" they added.
