Caesar and Christ (Story of Civilization, 3)

More Will Durant, "Caesar and Christ: A History of Roman Civilization and of Christianity from Their Beginnings to A.D. 325 (Story of Civilization,3) " Review: An enduring contribution to History "Caesar and Christ" (as well as all the eleven books of the majestic History of Civilization) has marked my youth as the tenderest introduction to History I have read - showing to me, several years since that personal discovery the vicissitudes of its writing. Today the Durant's oeuvre is seldom cited as a source of scholarly written History, but he and his wife (Ariel Durant) introduced a new, pioneering method of historical presentation and analysis, exploring many paralel dimensions of philosophy, morals, science, economy around a certain episode of humane history, in an astonishing tessitura. Since his days, History has become an astonishing knowledge network, richly modulated by gender, ethnical, special issues, but it is amazing to see that the rare intellectual gifts of a single couple (Will and Ariel) make a manking's history an enchanting work of artisanship, delicious to read today as it was for me decades ago. It is an enduring contribution to History, a best written selection we must be proud of prizing in our basic readings. Only RS mirrors, please
