      Good Historian, great history

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      After the long Middle Ages, finally there comes the Renaissance. Like all Durant's other books, this one is very good. Like always, you get everything besides history.

You get some interesting biographical accounts of all the Renaissance masters. The price of the...

      Will Durant is one of my favorite historians...

      A must-read for history lovers!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I have read all of Durant's books but this one is my favorite. I've read it four times and have taken it with me to Italy. Once you read the book, you too will want to see the works of the artists described so vividly by Durant.

      Great, as usual.

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Fun and informative. Mr. Durant's expertise is shared in a very entertaining style. Perhaps not as entertaining as his "Story of Greece" or "Caesar and Christ," but still excellent.
