Meer over het boek

This comprehensive 51-volume collection features seminal 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 reflects Eliot's vision that a foundational liberal education can be achieved through a carefully selected anthology. Originally published between 1909 and 1917, the set aims to provide readers with essential texts that contribute to a well-rounded intellectual foundation.
