 The Story of Civilization is an 11-volume series of history books written by husband and wife Will and Ariel Durant from the 1930s until its final volume in 1975. They use what Will calls "integral history", describing not only the traditional wars and politics but also the literature, art, music, science, philosophy, religion, culture, and society of every age. Like many old-fashioned histories, it is no dry and impartial recitation of facts, but is colored on every page with the insight, humor, observations, and opinions of the writers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series, being written for the general reader, didn't make an impact on scholarship, but is beloved by many as one of the greatest works of universal history. The Story begins by describing how tribal societies become civilized, and begins its vast tour of history with ancient Sumer, Babylon, and Egypt. The series is astounding in breadth and depth, covering China, India, Japan, the Middle East, Russia, and all of Europe through thousands of years. Their last volume, The Age of Napoleon, ends in 1815 with the Battle of Waterloo; another volume in the works was halted by Will and Ariel's deaths.Here is a list of all the volumes in the series:
