Explore history, literature, and art with our Grand Wikipedia Tour. It's your personal journey towards cultural enlightenment--five minutes at a time.

Description

From the battles of the ancient world to the myriad varieties of wine and cheese, from the swinging 1960s to masterpieces of art, western culture counts considerable riches among its legacy. Our Grand Wikipedia Tour, which combines the 25 Wikipedia Tours already available on DailyLit, will guide you through some of the most fascinating moments of history and discovery--such as the Tour of Nobel Prize Winners--as well as heights of achievement--whether literary, as in our Famous Poets tour, or athletic, as in our Basketball Greats Tour. In five minutes a day you can be on your way to a new understanding of our fascinating world.
