Description: This book is an account of how zeta and L-functions have helped shape number theory, combining standard and less standard material, some of which cannot be found elsewhere in the literature.  Particular attention is paid to the development of ideas: quotes from original sources and comments are used throughout the book, pointing the reader towards the relevant history.  Based on an advanced course at Jussieu in 2013, it is an ideal introduction to this story for graduate students and researchers. --back cover.
