“I remember finding on the shelves of a country house I once rented a mildewed history book by Will and Ariel Durant describing the Phoenicians as the “merchant race.” I was tempted to throw it in the fireplace.”

““The Lessons of History” is itself a summary of a larger work, so consider this summary an inspiration to read Will and Ariel Durant’s poetic masterpiece. https://t.co/HnovVVatKU”

“Age of Napoleon [is my favorite], so far. The first books are a little dry. Gets much better when Ariel is co-author.”
