Home - Historians - Will & Ariel Durant



You just have to love these guys. Will once said, "The love we have in our youth is superficial compared to the love that an old man has for his old wife." Ah, smooch! Can't top that.

William James Durant married his pupil Ada Kaufman in 1913. In 1935 they both set out to write as co-authors. In 1975 and eleven volumes later we had the Story of Civilization on our desks - world's history compiled by a big heart.
