“At Home: A Short History of Private Life” is the most delightful and entertaining book you will have touched in a long time. Bill Bryson is the author of this masterful book. Bill Bryson makes history very accessible with this easy-to-read and beautifully illustrated book. Bryson’s historical account of humankind’s domestic history is both fascinating and informative. Bill Bryson was inspired to write “At Home: A Short History of Private Life” after moving into a former Church of England rectory in the small village of Norfolk in the easternmost part of England. The idea came to him when he discovered a secret door in the attic. The tiny rooftop space about fifty feet above the ground provided a panoramic view of two ancient churches and the timeless English countryside. Bryson says the glorious view reminded him of the two thousand years of human activity and how little he knew about the history of the domestic world around him. He says, “We are so used to having a lot of comfort in our lives to being clean, warm and well-fed that we forget how recent most of that is. In fact, it took us forever to achieve these things, and then they mostly came in a rush. His book provides history about how it all happened. Bryson found, to his surprise, that what happens in the world, whatever is discovered, created or bitterly fought over, eventually ends up in our house. Wars, famines, the industrial revolution and the enlightenment are in the paint of our walls, the folds of our curtains and the water in our pipes.
