The Durant’s were arguably the most renowned public historians of the 20 th century, helping to popularize the subject through their seminal work, The Story of Civilization-an 11 volume, ten-thousand-page series of books that chronicles recorded human history. It’s not long, coming in at roughly 100 pages, but what it does in those few pages is testament to the depth of knowledge possessed by its authors. Written in 1968, it’s perhaps the most profound book I’ve ever read. I recently finished reading Will and Ariel Durant’s The Lessons of History.
