Bust onto the Literary Scene w/ these 81 Picks by Everyman's
A Pre-Curated List of 81 Everyman's to Kick Off Your Collection
I ran across this link of 81 Greats on the UK Everyman's Library website and thought it would be a great resource for someone looking to start collecting - or just to cherry pick 10 or 20 of their favorites - and call it a day!
Here is the beauty of this curated page:
- Suggests 10 Great Classics
- Suggests 20 Great Classics (simply adds 10 more)
- Suggests 50 Great Classics (likely includes the 20 + 30 more)
In addition to the 50 set, it also suggests the following themed ELs:
- 19 Everyman's - Nobel Laureates
- 12 Everyman's - Booker-Winning Authors
There is a thumbnail picture of each Everyman's Library book - all 81 of them:
Simply click on an individual book's cover picture and a pop-up window will come up with the following information pertaining to the chosen book:
- The Book's Title & Author
- A Brief Description of the Book
- Who Wrote the Introduction
- Other Everyman's by the Same Author (if more than one)
- And other bits of Information Pertaining to the Selected Book
In short, just a resourceful and fun page/link provided by the Everyman's Library's UK website that I thought was worthwhile to bring to viewers' attention.
NOTE: Re: Cartoon at the top of the Page - it is by Bruce Eric Kaplan. (I want to assume it was printed in the New Yorker, but I can't find exact proof of this. But again, Bruce Eric Kaplan is the artist it seems, so full-credit to his work.)
