About this ebook:
A side-splitting tour that makes it a blast to read the Western literary canon, from the ancient Greeks to the Modernists.To many, the Great Books evoke angst: the complicated Renaissance dramas we bluffed our way through in college, the dusty Everyman's Library editions that look classy on the shelf but make us feel guilty because they've never been opened. On a mission to restore the West's great works to their rightful place (they were intended to be entertaining ), Sandra Newman has produced a reading guide like no other. Beginning with Greek and Roman literature, she takes readers through hilarious detours and captivating historical tidbits on the road to Modernism. Along the way, we find parallels between Rabelais and "South Park," Jane Austen and "Sex and the City," Jonathan Swift and Jon Stewart, uncovering the original humor and riskiness that propelled great authors to celebrity.Packed with pop culture gems, stories of literary hoaxes, ironic day jobs for authors, bad reviews of books that would later become classics, and more.

Enjoy the ultimate reading experience. We've made it easy for you to discover and access Western Lit Survival Kit: How to Read the Classics Without Fear by Sandra Newman. Perfect for unwinding at home or reading on the go.

Read across all your favorite devices with our premium digital format. It includes interactive elements, resizable text, and crisp typography for a comfortable reading session. Start reading instantly and transform how you consume literature.
