Published between 19, The Story of Civilization "sought to unify and humanize the great body of historical knowledge." His first, The Story of Philosophy, sold 3,000,000 copies and made The New York Times best seller list. Written in a manner designed to make the subject matter accessible to everyday people or "the common man," the books were extremely popular. The author of 53 books during his lifetime, Durant is best known for The Story of Philosophy and the 11 volume set, The Story of Civilization, which he produced with his wife, Ariel.
