teacher when he met Ariel (1898-1981), a Russian Jewish immigrant and talented
student. As a team, they became the most popular and among the most
influential historians of the twentieth 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.
