Life as We(sterners) know it

by  auntieruth ,  Feb 24, 2008
10 out of 10 people found this review helpful.
Pros: A synthesis of a lifetime of study and analysis. Brilliant man, brilliant book.
Cons: Very long.
The Bottom Line: Definite read for someone wanting to understand the ebb and flow of time and culture since 1500. Readable over time, not necessarily in one sitting.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The title(s) alone, From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the present, 500 Years of Western Cultural Life, suggest an intimidating and massively complex analysis of western civilization, and Jacques Barzun, a 20th century father of cultural...

500 HUNDRED YEARS IS A LOT OF READING

by  jdrum ,  Sep 3, 2001
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Fascinating, little known, characters and cultural information
Cons: Long, long, long. You have to be an obsessive reader for this book.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the book for people who are looking for an interesting summation of our Western cultural life and not for history in the traditional sense.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Many readers seem to mistake Jacques Barzun's book as history. Well, it is and it isn't. Note the book's title, "From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life."

Barzun throws a lot of things into the cultural life cauldron and...
