Carl Grimberg

Carl Gustaf Grimberg (22 September 1875 in Gothenburg, Sweden – 11 June 1941 in Djursholm) was a Swedish historian.

His parents were Joel Grimberg and Charlotta (née Andersson). In 1919 he married Eva Carlsdotter Sparre (1895–1982).

The first Norwegian edition of Grimberg's world history was entitled Menneskenes Liv og Historie, and was published in the years 1955–1962. The publication consisted of 22 volumes. After the mention of the Neanderthals, the history of the world is reproduced from ancient Egypt until the end of the Second World War.
