Meer over het boek

This comprehensive 51-volume collection features significant writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology, curated by Charles William Eliot, Harvard's longest-serving president. Known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it embodies his vision that a foundational liberal education can be achieved through a carefully selected anthology. Originally published between 1909 and 1917, this set remains a testament to the enduring value of classic texts in shaping intellectual thought and cultural understanding.
