Synopsis
This thought-provoking, engaging portrait of Arnold Toynbee--one of the most remarkable thinkers of the twentieth century and author of the highly acclaimed ten-volume A Study of History--weaves together Toynbee's intellectual accomplishments and the personal difficulties of his private life. Providing both an intimate portrait of a leading thinker and a judicious evaluation of his work and his legacy for the study of history, William H. McNeill offers both a biography and a commentary on how to write and understand history. He illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of A Study of History, as well as the countless other works penned by Toynbee, and explores Toynbee's tormented personal life, including his troubled marriage to Rosalind Murray and the suicide of his son, Anthony., One of the most remarkable thinkers of this century, Arnold Toynbee won world-wide recognition as the author of the monumental ten-volume A Study of History. Its publication and phenomenal success brought him fame and the highest praise, as the reading public proclaimed him the most renowned scholar in the world.
