Excerpt from Days of the Discoverers A thought came to the boy. How could he leave his father's cattle unfed and uncared for? What if he were to drive the cows himself to the saeter and tend them through the summer? He faced about, resolutely, and began to descend the hill.

An original history of man's greatest adventure: his search to discover the world around him. In the compendious history, Boorstin not only traces man's insatiable need to know, but also the obstacles to discovery and the illusion that knowledge can also put in our way. Covering time, the earth and the seas, nature and society, he gathers and analyzes stories of the man's profound quest to understand his world and the cosmos.

TO FORESTA Upon the road to Faerie, O there are many sights to see, -Small woodland folk may one discernHousekeeping under leaf and fern, And little tunnels in the grassWhere caravans of goblins pass, And airy corsair-craft that floatOn wings transparent as a mote, -All sorts of curious things can beUpon the road to Faerie! Along the wharves of Faerie-There all the winds of ChristendieAre musical with hawk-bell chimes, Carillons rung to minstrels' rimes, And silver trumpets bravely blownFrom argosies of lands unknown, And the great war-drum's wakening roll-The reveille of heart and soul-For news of all the ageless seaComes to the quays of Faerie! Across the fields to FaerieThere is no lack of company, -The world is real, the world is wide, But there be many things beside.Who once has known that crystal springShall not lose heart for anything.The blessing of a faery wifeIs love to sweeten all your life.To find the truth whatever it be-That is the luck of Faerie! Above the gates of FaerieThere bends a wild witch-hazel tree.The fairies know its elfin powers.They wove a garland of the flowers, And on a misty autumn dayThey crowned their queen-and ran away!And by that gift they made you freeOf all the roads of Faerie! CONTENTS PAGE I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS "'I will tell you where there is plenty of it'" (in color) "'And Freya came from Asgard in her chariot drawn by two cats'" (in color) "Nils marked out an inscription in Runic letters" "The miniature globe took form as the children watched, fascinated" "He proposed that Caonaba should put on the gift the Spanish captain had brought" "A sapling, bent down, was attached to a noose ingeniously hidden" "The natives seemed prepared to traffic in all peace and friendliness" (in color) "Cortes flung about his shoulders his own cloak" "Moteczuma awaited them in the courtyard" (in color) "Cartier read from his service-book" "The creatures darkened the plain almost as far as the eye could see" "'Gentlemen, whence does this fleet come?'" "Drake was silent, fingering the slender Milanese poniard" "If he had to wear her fetters, they should at least be golden" "The Grand Master of the day entered the dining hall" DAYS OF THE DISCOVERERS I ASGARD THE BEAUTIFUL A red fox ran into the empty church. In the middle of the floor he sat up and looked around. Nothing stirred-not the painted figures on the wooden walls, nor the boy who now stood in the doorway. This boy was gray-eyed and flaxen-haired, and might have been eleven or twelve years old. He was looking for the good old priest, Father Ansgar, and the wild shy animal eyeing him from the foot of the altar made it only too clear that the church, like the village, was deserted....

Throughout history, from the time of Socrates to our own modern age, the human race has sought the answers to fundamental questions of life: Who are we? Why are we here? In his previous national bestsellers, The Discoverers and The Creators , Daniel J. Boorstin first told brilliantly how e discovered the reality of our world, and then he celebrated man's achievements in the arts. He now turns to the great figures in history who sought meaning and purpose in our existence. Boorstin says our Western culture has seen three grand epics of Seeking. First there was the heroic way of prophets and philosophers--men like Moses or Job or Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as those in the communities of the early church universities and the Protestant Reformation--seeking salvation or truth from the god above or the reason within each of us. Then came an age of communal seeking, with people like Thucydides and Thomas More and Machiavelli and Voltaire pursuing civilization and the liberal spirit. Finally, there was an age of the social sciences, when man seemed ruled by the forces of history. Here are the absorbing stories of exceptional men such as Marx, Spengler, and Toynbee, Carlyle and Emerson, and Malraux, Bergson, and Einstein. These great thinkers still have the power to speak to us, not always so much for their answers as for their way of asking the questions that never cease either to intrigue or to obsess us. In this impressive climax to a monumental trilogy, Daniel J. Boorstin once again shows that his ability to present challenging ideas, coupled with sharp portraits of great writers and thinkers, remains unparalleled.

By piecing the lives of selected individuals into a grand mosaic, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Daniel J. Boorstin explores the development of artistic innovation over 3,000 years. A hugely ambitious chronicle of the arts that Boorstin delivers with the scope that made his Discoverers a national bestseller. Even as he tells the stories of such individual creators as Homer, Joyce, Giotto, Picasso, Handel, Wagner, and Virginia Woolf, Boorstin assembles them into a grand mosaic of aesthetic and intellectual invention. In the process he tells us not only how great art (and great architecture and philosophy) is created, but where it comes from and how it has shaped and mirrored societies from Vedic India to the twentieth-century United States.
