Уроки истории
Закономерности развития цивилизации за 5000 лет
Will Durant
Собрание эссе двух выдающихся мыслителей нашего времени, охватывающее более 5000 лет истории человечества.
Авторы, профессиональные историки и академические ученые выявили закономерности общественного и исторического развития, цикличность исторического процесса и конечность любого социально-экономического строя.
Основываясь на своих исследованиях и на философском подходе, они очень образно и увлекательно рассказали о том, какой путь прошла Западная цивилизация (от истоков до начала XIX века) и почему ее путь был сложен именно из этих вех.

This is a great book I really liked which summarizes some of the larger themes of history, very incisive. And unlike most history books, it's actually really small, and it covers a lot of ground. – источник

They wrote the massive 11-volume 10,000-page “Story of Civilization” covering Western history, then wrote this tiny 100-page book succinctly summing up its lessons for our present day. – источник2022-11-29T23:49:32.000Z
This audiobook is incredible
The book itself is an all-timer, but the audiobook includes old interviews with the Durants at the end of each chapter.
The interviews are seemingly longer than the book, and the Durants are among the best historians ever. Hearing them is wild. – источник2022-08-23T15:11:08.000Z

Is this the highest wisdom-per-word book ever?
If it's not, what is? – источник2017-03-28T00:00:00.000Z
In some way you look back on Will and Arial Durant’s The Lessons of History or Ron Chernow’s book on Alexander Hamilton, and you realize, man, you can get an awful lot out of people who have been through this sort of thing and studied the ones who did it before. – источник
