My knowledge in history is very poor. I want to know some basic history. Please recommend some books that don’t dwell on a single incident or period but rather gives an overview. Preferably, books on medieval history. It would be a plus if the book has beautiful prose.

Thank you.

    The Times Complete History of the World. Naturally it comes with some western bias, and unless you buy it second hand it’s expensive.
