Essay Compiled
Being complex essays, at times it feels disjointed. General public may find it too dragged but people interested in European History may find it interesting.

highly recommend the book!!
the narration of the audiobook seemed a bit robotic at times but it wasn't unbearable. the need to listen to the content of the book outweighed the need to criticise the narration quality. i think this has been one of the most useful books that i've ever come across. i've always felt a bit envious of people who get introduced to great philosophers/artists/musicians by their seniors or peers or parents but this book opened a whole new world for me to discover. i've made a lengthy list of all the great men and women, all the books and works of art introduced in this book. will durant put me on some really great musical performances too.
