It is what people wore.
What they ate.
Where they lived.
How they worked.
What they believed.
How they raised families, celebrated victories, survived hardship, entertained themselves—and understood the world around them.
Time-Life: What Life Was Like opens a window into everyday existence across thousands of years of human history.
Travel from the banks of the Nile to ancient Rome.
Enter the worlds of Celtic high kings, Viking sailors, Chinese emperors, Japanese samurai, Elizabethan courtiers, European artists, revolutionaries, romantics, and imperial powers.
Then leap into the twentieth century with illustrated yearbooks capturing the news, personalities, fashions, entertainment, inventions, politics, and defining moments of individual years from 1945 through 1969.
Altogether:
Most history books tell you who ruled, which armies fought, and where borders moved.
The classic Time-Life volumes ask a more fascinating question:
What did an Egyptian home look like?
How did Roman citizens spend their days?
What was expected of a samurai?
How did Viking families live between voyages?
What did people eat in Elizabethan England?
How did art, science, fashion, religion, class, and politics shape ordinary life?
These richly illustrated books recreate the texture of the past through historical narrative, artwork, architecture, objects, clothing, customs, and daily routines.
Enter the world of pharaohs, priests, craftsmen, farmers, monumental temples, and life shaped by the annual rhythms of the Nile.
Explore public life, philosophy, politics, warfare, entertainment, religion, family, and citizenship in two civilizations that helped shape the Western world.

Enter courts, salons, cities, workshops, theaters, and revolutionary societies during centuries of dramatic cultural and political change.
Explore imperial grandeur, colonial society, social tension, war, reform, and the forces that transformed the modern world.
The collection then trades ancient temples and royal courts for newsreels, automobiles, movie stars, politicians, advertisements, fashions, inventions, music, and modern popular culture.
