"The Story of Civilization" by Will and Ariel Durant, is a book series about the complete history of civilization that spans from ancient egypt to the 1800s. It has 13,000 pages and the couple dedicated FOURTY YEARS, FOUR DECADES of their lives into writing the book series.
This is so impressive to me because focusing 40 years on a project is so bizarre, and their work has made history understanedable to literally anyone. Are there any other authors who did the same and spent their entire lives researching, or writing a single book or series?
