Fallen Leaves: Last Words on Life, Love, War, and God

Praised as a â€œrevelatoryâ€ book by The Wall Street Journal, this is the last and most personal work of Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning author and historian Will Durant, discovered thirty-two years after his death.

The culmination of Will Durantâ€™s sixty-plus years spent researching the philosophies, religions, arts, sciences, and civilizations from across the world, Fallen Leaves is the distilled wisdom of one of the worldâ€™s greatest minds, a man with a renowned talent for rendering the insights of the past accessible. Over the course of Durantâ€™s career he received numerous letters from â€œcurious readers who have challenged me to speak my mind on the timeless questions of human life and fate.â€ With Fallen Leaves, his final book, he at last accepted their challenge.

In twenty-two short chapters, Durant addresses everything from youth and old age to religion, morals, sex, war, politics, and art. Fallen Leaves is â€œa thought-provoking array of opinionsâ€ (Publishers Weekly), offering elegant prose, deep insights, and Durantâ€™s revealing conclusions about the perennial problems and greatest joys we face as a species. In Durantâ€™s singular voice, here is a message of insight for everyone who has ever sought meaning in life or the counsel of a learned friend while navigating lifeâ€™s journey.
