''Restlessly curious, insightful, and quirky, David Damrosch is the perfect guide to a round-the-world adventure in reading'' Stephen Greenblatt
A transporting and illuminating voyage around the globe, told through eighty classic and modern books
''It is always a pleasure to talk about books with David Damrosch, who has read all of them, and he is so eloquent and understanding about them all'' Orhan Pamuk
Inspired by Jules Verne''s hero Phileas Fogg, David Damrosch, chair of Harvard''s Department of Comparative Literature and founder of Harvard''s Institute for World Literature, set out to counter a pandemic''s restrictions on travel by exploring eighty exceptional books from around the globeFollowing a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel prizewinners Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mo Yan and Olga Tokarczuk, he explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world, and the ways the world bleeds into literature.
To chart the expansive landscape of world literature today, Damrosch explores how writers live in two very different worlds: the world of their personal experience, and the world of books that have enabled great writers to give shape and meaning to their livesIn his literary cartography, Damrosch includes compelling contemporary works as well as perennial classics, hard-bitten crime fiction as well as haunting works of fantasy, and the formative tales that introduce us as children to the world we''re entering. Taken together, these eighty titles offer us fresh perspective on perennial problems, from the social consequences of epidemics to the rising inequality that Thomas More designed Utopia to combat and the patriarchal structures within and against which many of these books'' heroines have to struggle, from the work of Murasaki Shikibu a millennium ago to that of Margaret Atwood today.
Around the World in 80 Books is a global invitation to look beyond ourselves and our surroundings, and to see our world and its literature in new ways.
