Could you survive another era?

This is the ultimate survival guide.

Life in the past was anything but easy. Danger lurked everywhere. In Prehistory, you had to know how to make tools to catch your lunch; in Ancient Egypt, how to escape a deadly plague or a hungry crocodile. In Ancient Greece, myths could be just as dangerous as earthquakes or invaders. In Ancient Rome, between temples, chariot races, gladiators, and great fires, wearing the wrong clothes or drinking from the wrong cup could cost you your life. The Middle Ages weren’t much safer either: capricious lords, perilous tournaments, and filthy cities where one wrong step could be fatal.

And history doesn’t stop there. Spain’s turbulent past —with its civil wars, invasions, and conspiracies— was full of dangers, while the 20th century brought the greatest conflict of all: World War II, with bombings, spies, submarines, and colossal battles.

Knowing how to survive each chapter of history is key. Luckily, El Fisgón Histórico has created a collection of witty and educational survival handbooks to answer all your questions and guide you through the most fascinating eras of the past… without dying in the attempt!

Each book in the collection —How to Survive Prehistory, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the History of Spain, and World War II— is a fully illustrated guide that blends humor, historical accuracy, and tons of mind-blowing anecdotes. Readers will learn what to eat, how to talk, what to avoid, and what to do if they run into a pharaoh, a Greek god, a Roman legionary, a Resistance spy, or an inquisitor on a bad day… without dying in the attempt!

RELEVANT DATA: Each installment of the How to Survive… series focuses on a different historical era and uses humor to help young readers both learn and have fun. Reminiscent of hit franchises like Once Upon a Time… and Horrible Histories, this children’s series has all the ingredients to become a success —and a perfect candidate for adaptation into an animated series for today’s kids.

The first three books —Prehistory, Ancient Rome, and The Middle Ages— were released in 2022. Ancient Egypt followed in 2023, and World War II in 2024. In 2025, two new titles joined the series: Ancient Greece and The History of Spain, expanding the scope of this ambitious and ever-growing collection.
