The Voyage of the Beagle

Meer over het boek

The collection features 51 volumes of significant writings spanning literature, philosophy, history, and mythology, curated by Charles William Eliot, Harvard's longest-serving president. Known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it reflects Eliot's vision that a well-rounded liberal education can be achieved through a carefully selected anthology that occupies just five feet of shelf space. This monumental set, originally published between 1909 and 1917, serves as a foundational resource for readers seeking to explore essential texts across various disciplines.
