Description
I am selling the set because I am moving out of Pakistan and can't take the books with me since they would cost quite a lot on transportation/cargo which set me around 100,000 rupees the first time I imported them from the UK. The complete leather-bound 1st Edition is in pristine condition.
Selling it urgently!!!!!!!
Britannica's Great Books of the Western World: Favorite Classic Book Set Reviewed on YouTube (https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=yZRahuLq2x4&t=356s)
The Great Books of the Western World (GBWW) comprises well over 100 of the greatest works to influence western thought. The brunt of the work in compiling these works is credited to the editor in chief, Robert Maynard Hutchins, and associate editor, Mortimer J. Adler.
The complete set is 54 volumes, most of which contain multiple books. The following is a list of each book without categorization into the particular volume it appears in. Additionally, some authors (e. g. Sigmund Freud) have so many of their works represented, that listing all of them here is not helpful. For these works (those authors with more than three works represented), I have simply listed as “works of Author” to reduce the list to a manageable size.
The Syntopicon (vols. 2 & 3) which provides encyclopedic coverage of the 102 “great ideas” along with references to their mentions throughout the GBWW set was prepared by a team of 75 researchers over a period of TEN years.
