About the Author

Will Durant (1885–1981) was awarded the Pulitzer Prize (1968) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977). He spent more than fifty years writing his critically acclaimed eleven-volume series, The Story of Civilization (the later volumes written in conjunction with his wife, Ariel). A champion of human rights issues, such as the brotherhood of man and social reform, long before such issues were popular, Durant’s writing still educates and entertains readers around the world. 
Will Durant was an American writer, historian, and philosopher, originally noted for The Story of Philosophy (1926). He became best known for his work The Story of Civilization, eleven volumes written in collaboration with his wife, Ariel Durant, and published between 1935 and 1975. The Durants were awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1968 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.
