Reading and Being Read: Eleven Lectures on Masterpieces of World Literature
by Liu Wenfei
About This Novel
"Reading and Being Read" is a new collection of academic essays written by Liu Wenfei, Yanjing Chair Professor of Humanities at Capital Normal University and an authoritative scholar of Russian literature, who interprets and comments on world literary classics. This book discusses eleven world literary masters and their representative works, including Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Goethe, Hugo, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Joyce, Kawabata Yasunari, and Nabokov. Based on careful reading of classic texts and research and sorting out of the writer's life, the author extracts a focus in each article and analyzes and comments around it, or studies characters, or discusses literary attributes, or talks about serious topics such as thought and survival, or deconstructs classics from details such as architecture and color. The eleven themes are vivid, new, rich, and profound, opening and closing vertically and horizontally, creating a grand view. It is a feast for the minds of world literature lovers.
