Simon Sebag Montefiore in conversation with Guillermina De Gracia

Panamá 2024, 

The family forms us and is one of the aspects that all societies have in common. In The World: A Family History, the famous historian Simon Sebag Montefiore (UK) in conversation with Guillermina De Gracia, shows us the history of humanity through some of its most important family dynasties. Starting with the fossils of the footprints of a family who walked along a beach 950,000 years ago, the author will talk about some of the families that have given shape to our world: from the Medici and the Rothschilds to the Churchills, the Kennedys, the Kims and many more.
