The Harvard Classics: Download All 51 Volumes as Free EBooks
> It was in 1909, the nadir of this milieu, before the advent of modernism and world war, that The Harvard Classics took shape.I think he means zenith, not nadir. 1909 was the high point of human civilisation, before barbarism and ugliness took hold.Also, not covering Freud, Nietzsche & Marx was no mistake: this is a collection of lessons to learn, not lessons to learn from.
