Original title: Арнълд Тойнби. Изследване на историята
Language: Bulgarian
A Study of History is a multivolume history by the British historian Arnold J. Toynbee, published from 1934 to 1961. It received enormous popular attention.

The 19 major civilizations, as Toynbee sees them, are: Egyptian, Andean, Sumerian, Babylonic, Hittite, Minoan, Indic, Hindu, Syriac, Hellenic, Western, Orthodox Christian (two branches: the main or Byzantine body and the Russian branch), Far Eastern (two branches: the main or Chinese-Korean body and the Japanese branch), Islamic (two branches which later merged: Arabic and Iranic), Mayan, Mexican and Yucatec. Moreover, there are three "abortive civilizations" (Far Western Christian, Far Eastern Christian, Scandinavian) and five "arrested civilizations" (Polynesian, Eskimo, Nomadic, Ottoman and Spartan)...
