(0 reviews)
The publication of Rousseau and Revolution is more than a cause for pleasure for the hundreds of thousands of readers of The Story of Civilization. It is a major event, for it marks the conclusion of a lifetime's work and the completion of what is certainly the most ambitious, widely read and best-known work of history in our time. With this volume Will and Ariel Durant bring to a splendid finale their "magnificent and monumental" ten-volume chronicle - over four decades in work - of our cultural, political, philosophical, religious and social heritage, from its roots in ancient Oriental and Greek society to the shaping of the modern world.
