New York Times 'Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise' Wall Street Journal 'Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a sense of time, place, and character ... I cannot think of a better way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western civilization.' Boston Globe 'A godsend in this era of the short attention span.' New York Times
