The Little Black Book of Books

by Lucy Daniel (ed)

 

post-3835-0-60995800-1360162570_thumb.jpg

 

'Poets and playwrights, novels and novelists, publishing coups and personal stories, literature as we know it has been shaped by the key exponents of the craft, quirks of fate, meetings, love affairs and moments of despair and death. Characters such as Atticus Finch, Lily Bart, and Harry Potter have carried us through the century, while the discussion still rages on about the Da Vinci Code. Here is the world of literature in a nutshell, each vital and intriguing moment placed in it's historic and cultural context creating an intelligent, accessible guide to a the writings of the world.'

 

Specific books aren't necessarily mentioned for each entry; in those cases, I've chosen a related book myself and noted that it's my choice (e.g. Germinal for Emile Zola). The only non-book-specific information that I've listed in bold relates to authors that I need to research.
