Résumé :

This book ... focuses on the creative legacy referred to collectively as the humanities: literature, philosophy, history (in its literary dimension), architecture, the visual arts (including photography and film), music, and dance. Selected examples from each of these disciplines constitute [the book's] primary sources. Primary sources (that is, works original to the age that produced them) provide first-hand evidence of human inventiveness and ingenuity. [This book] explores a living legacy.

This text assumes a global and multicultural rather than exclusively Western perspective. At the same time, Western contributions are emphasized ...-Pref.
