Summary: An A to Z Literature Guide
Comment: An A to Z comprehensive guide through the long road of Literature.Almost everything about books and authors were covered in this atlas. From Austen to Zweig.Categorized into various notable sections.Namely,The Middle Ages and The Renaissance, The Age of Reason, The Romantics,The Age of Industrialism and Empire, The Age of Realism, The Modern World,After the 2nd World War and the World Today. Each part were comprehensively arranged and illustrated with famous examples and represented by the authors from that era. It covered almost all the important events and people in Literature. I enjoyed this atlas because each part was unique yet vitally contributed to the whole. It's handy to get all these Literary information compressed into a single book. It also gave a brief biographies of authors and showed their birthplace and journeys through their life and their famous works and contributions to the society. Well-done with great pictures and informative maps,notes,facts and figures. It showed the trends of Literary world and how it shaped our lives and affected our thoughts.

Summary: Excellent, informative, entertaining, one glaring omission.
Comment: I found this book to be a wonderful addition to my library. It is truly a feast for lovers of literature. I have only one dissenting comment. Why the omission of Gore Vidal? With the inclusion of Norman Mailer, surely this omission is an oversight and not calculated. Overall, though, a marvelous book.
