New episode of Korby's Book Club.
It's been on hiatus for a few months but hear this: Korby's Book Club is back.
The Lessons of History was written by historians husband/eife team Will and Arial Durant.
They wrote this thin volume of 100 pages on the heels of their 11 volume Pulitzer Prize-winning series The Story of Civilization.
Widely heralded as a masterpiece of distillation, LoH is full of wisdom and perspective on how various people throughout recorded history have addressed the challenge of being human.
I read it a few pages at a time. Tasty and intellectually piquant, it's dense but written to be read by a wide audience. I think everyone should take a look!
You can buy it from my favorite bookstore, The Book Shop in East Nashville. It's like, $14.
