Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:

Will Durant (1885-1981) was an award-winning American writer, historian, and philosopher. He and his wife were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 1968 for Rousseau and Revolution, and he was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Durant spent over forty years writing the critically acclaimed eleven-volume Story of Civilization, the later volumes with the help of his wife, Ariel. He sought to revitalize history by unifying and humanizing the great body of historical knowledge, which had become voluminous and fragmented into esoteric subcategories. He also strove to bring philosophy to the common man. Durant was a champion of human rights, social reform, and the brotherhood of man long before they became well-known issues.

John Little is considered to be one of the world's foremost authorities on Bruce Lee and Will Durant. He's the only person who has ever been authorized to review the entirety of Lee's personal notes, sketches, and reading annotations, giving him an insider's look at Lee's training methods and philosophies.
