Eighty Books Around the World
Literature八十本书环游地球
(u. S.) David Damouros
This book is 80 literature lessons from Harvard University professor David Damouros, who uses 80 world literature classics to complete a global trip. Professor David Demuroche imitated Captain Fogg in Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days", but the starting point became his home study, and the means of transportation were books. With the inspiration brought by a book every day, he started from London, passing through Paris, Cairo, Jerusalem, Calcutta, Kyoto, Shanghai, North and South America, until he returned to London; from Woolf, Dee Gens, Dante, Calvino, Wole Soyinka, and then to Wu Cheng'en, Lu Xun, Zhang Ailing, Mo Yan, Bei Dao, Mishima Yukio, Marquez and Olga Tolkachuk... "Around the World in Eighty Books" builds a paper palace for human memory, taking readers to a wider world with the humanistic power of burning the lamp in times of crisis.
