The Story of Civilization is a tremendous husband & wife literary masterpiece. The Durants had hoped to include the history of West up to the early 20th century however both died before they could complete any additional volumes. Will is credited for the first six volumes with Ariel only recognized in the Acknowledgments. However beginning with Vol VII she received co-author credit. The Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction was awarded to the series in 1968. "A history of civilization shares the presumptuousness of every philosophical enterprise: it offers the ridiculous spectacle of a fragment expounding the whole. Like philosophy such a venture has no rational excuse and is at best but a brave stupidity; but let us hope that like philosophy it will always lure some rash spirits into its fatal depths." p viii.

The publication of Rousseau and Revolution is more than a cause for pleasure for the hundreds of thousands of readers of The Story of Civilization. It is a major event for it marks the conclusion of a lifetime's work and the completion of what is certainly the most ambitious widely read and best-known work of history in our tirne. With this volume Will and Ariel Durant bring to a splendid finale their "magnificent and monumental" ten-volume chronicle - over four decades in work - of our cultural political philosophical religious and social heritage from its roots in ancient Oriental and Greek society to the shaping of the modern world. Rousseau and Revolution ranging over a Europe in ferment centers on the passionate rebel-philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau the great exponent of the Romantic impulse toward self-exploration and social revolt who contended with the great rationalist Voltaire for the mind of Europe; who condemned civilization as a disease glorified the noble savage proclaimed to the world with equal intensity his own love affairs and the natural Rights of Man and who became the patron saint of the French Revolution and of its progeny - the worldwide social upheavals of two centuries. With Rousseau as its focal point the Durants' incomparable narrative progresses across a whole continent - to a Spain convulsed by the horrors of war witnessed and preserved for our eternal outrage by Goya; to the Italy of Vivaldi and Tiepolo of Casanova and Cagliostro; to the Imperial Russian court of Catherine the Great; to Poland destroyed as a political entity reborn as a romantic dream of nationalism. The Durants show us the tragic reign of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II and paint for us a vivid and enduring portrait of the life and work of Mozart. We see Frederick the Great rebuilding Prussia while Germany still a mass of separated states undergoes an epochal intellectual revolution - in science and philosophy with Immanuel Kant in literature with the protean figrures of Goethe and Schiller. .
