The final and most personal work from Pulitzer Reward - winning author and historian Will Durant - discovered 32 years after his loss of life - is a note of insight for everybody who has wanted interpretation in life or the council of any wise good friend in navigating life's journey. From 1968 to 1978, Will Durant made four public allusions to the lifestyle of Fallen Leaves. One, in 1975, hinted at its articles: "a not so serious book that answers the questions of what I believe about federal, life, loss of life, and God." And in 1975: "I propose... to answer all quite questions, simply, rather, and imperfectly." Even into his 90s,he worked on the book daily, writing it out on legal notepads. Upon his loss of life in 1981, nobody, not even the Durant heirs, recognized if he previously completed it, or even if it still existed. Thirty-two years later, in a granddaughter's attic trunk, the manuscript was learned. Fallen Leaves is Will Durant's most personal book. It is specifically as he explained: 22 brief chapters on everything from youth and later years, religious beliefs and morals, to love-making, battle, politics, and art work. The culmination of Durant's 60-plus years spent researching the philosophies, religions, arts, sciences, and civilizations from across the world, Fallen Leaves is the distilled intelligence of any gifted scholar with a renowned ability for making the insights of days gone by accessible. In its preface Durant mentions that during the period of his profession, he received words from "curious viewers who've challenged me to speak my brain on the timelessquestions of individual life and destiny." With Fallen Leaves, he accepted their problem. It contains strong opinions, beautiful prose, and profound insights in to the individual condition as only Will Durant could provide, as well as his revealing conclusions about the perennial problems and greatest joys we face as a varieties.
