The Literature Book
“The Literature Book introduces you to ancient classics from the Epic of Gilgamesh written 4,000 years ago, as well as the works of Shakespeare, Voltaire, Tolstoy, and more, and 20th-century masterpieces, including Catch-22, Beloved, and On the Road. It answers myriad questions such as what is stream of consciousness, who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird, and what links the poetry of Wordsworth with that of TS Eliot. Losing yourself in a great book transports you to another time and place, and The Literature Book sets each title in its social context. It helps you appreciate, for example, how Dickens' Bleak House paints a picture of 19th-century England.”
这本文学百科全书向你介绍了从4000年前写的《吉尔伽美什史诗》到莎士比亚、伏尔泰、托尔斯泰等人的古代经典作品，以及《第二十二条军规》、《宠儿》、《在路上》等20世纪的名著。它回答了无数的问题，比如什么是意识流，谁写了《杀死一只知更鸟》，是什么把华兹华斯的诗歌和TS艾略特的诗歌联系起来。沉浸在一本好书中，你会感到穿越到另一个时间和地点，而这本书将每个书名置于其社会背景中。例如，它能帮助你欣赏狄更斯的《荒凉山庄》如何描绘出19世纪英国的景象等。
