Overview
Throughout history, from the time of creation to our own modern age, the human race has sought the answers to fundamental questions of life: Who are we? Why are we here? The Seekers is a history of our greatest Western heritage of ideas, told through the lives of speakers who still speak to us: from Moses, Aristotle and Plato through Thacydides, Thomas Moore, Machiavelli, and Voltaire to Karl Marx, Carlyle, Emerson, and Einstein -- to mention only a few.Daniel Boorstin once again shows that his ability to present challenging ideas, coupled with sharp portraits of great writers and thinkers, remains unparalleled.Also the author of The Americans, a trilogy that won the Francis Parkman Prize, the Bancroft Prize and the Pulitzer Prize, Daniel Boorstin received the 1989 National Book Award for his lifetime contribution to literature. He has been the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, and for twelve years served as the Librarian of Congress.
