Synopsis Before his death, Will Durant was working on a project relating to his bestselling THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION. He reworked some of that material from that 11-volume series, and wrote other parts anew in lecture format. From a manuscript discovered years after his death, his world history is structured around biographies of great people--Confucius, Plato, Jesus, Leonardo, through Shakespeare and Bacon. Here, Durant transmits the history and philosophy of the ages in a manner which he made famous and perfected--popularizing without watering down.
