Synopses & Reviews
A brilliant road map for discovering history, science, civilization, and the human condition, this engaging record recommends must-read books: those so revealing about times and places that they take the reader beyond day-to-day concerns into a magic realm of knowledge and imagination. From Arthur Koestlers take on the universe and Barbara Tuchmans view on 14th-century life to F. Scott Fitzgeralds impressions of American morality and Robert Fisks analysis of the Wests history of intervention in the Middle East, this engaging account is an idiosyncratic and endlessly interesting tour of the world through literature.
