Description
|
|
|
|
Selected by an international panel of writers, academics, and critics, the thousand entries in this review form an accessible and intelligent look at literary history and criticism over the greater 20th century, from the publication of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine in 1895 to Turkish author Orhan Pamuk's winning of the Nobel Prize in 2006. Decade by decade, these entries reveal how our literature has been shaped not only by the writers themselves, but also by quirks of fate, meetings, love affairs, moments of despair, and death. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of full-page photos and reproductions of art, the book presents a thousand events in the past century that have helped define the world we live in today.
