most influential historians of the 20th century. Their 11-volume Story of Civilization,
published over forty years, (1935-1975) extended from prehistory to the nineteenth century,
and was lauded for its fine writing as well as its ideas. Winners of the Pulitzer Prize and the
Medal of Freedom, the Durants produced such other influential works as An Invitation to
Philosophy, Heroes of History and a dual autobiography. Lightly toned. Lightly soiled in
right margin. Overall, fine condition.
