	The Story of Mankind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Story of Mankind was written and illustrated by American journalist, professor, and author Hendrik Willem van Loon and published in 1921.
		Written to his grandchildren, The Story of Mankind intermingles personal anecdotes with the history of Western civilization, covering the development of writing, art, and architecture, the rise of major religions, and the formation of the modern (for 1921) nation-state.
		In 1957 a film was made based on the book, titled The Story of Mankind and starring, oddly enough, Ronald Colman and the Marx Brothers.

	What is Storying?
		Stories are a convenient way of capturing a slice of life and retaining it an account of the event.
		On the negative side oral stories can be altered more easily than things written or printed, they are subject to some distortion by careless listening, the effect that the listeners’ culture and experience may have by filtering or distorting the story, and simply by fading with time unless periodically refreshed.
		These are the stories which were skipped over earlier when the listeners may have gotten side-tracked or their hostility increased by hearing them without the larger context of the Bible story and the preparation and guidance by the Holy Spirit as new believers.

		Note: The Story of Mankind underwent five printings before the Newbery votes were tabulated on March 8, 1922, and five additional printings prior to the announcement of the Newbery Award on June 26, 1922.
		Since the text covers the entire history of mankind, it has been continually updated since 1926; consequently, there are more variant editions of The Story of Mankind than any other Newbery Medal winner.

		Up till now, the Turks have been “invisible men” in “The Story of Mankind.” They suddenly come to light when those heroes of mankind, the Indo-European tribes, decide to reign terror, death and destruction to the Turks.
		A wartime tragedy involving the losses of so many has been turned into a politicized story of “exclusive victimhood,” and because of the prevailing prejudice against Turks, along with Turkish indifference, those in the world, particularly in the West, have been quick to accept these terribly defamatory claims involving the worst crime against humanity.

		Arguing for us is The Spirit of Mankind, embodied by Ronald Colman, which would normally be a good thing, except for the fact that he's weighed down by a number of stupid, over-generalizing speeches.
		Traveling through history, they're allowed to use anything and anyone as examples for their cause, and so we do indeed see the story of mankind, or rather, a cursory inspection of the history of Europe and North America.
		Despite these faults (and one notably tired and old lion in an Egypt sequence), The Story of Mankind has an odd but undeniable charm, both for its moments of unintentional humor and for its general stupidity.
