Review:
This is a whirlwind tour of the fundamental thinkers who form humanist thought. For some, it was a quick review. For others it was a touchpoint (Thomas Mann, for example, I knew more through The Magician than through his actual works). For some, it was an introduction. There is no doubt that this book will lead to others that offer a little more detail and to more philosophical works that are less a sketch of a life and more about how to live a life.
