Kevin Smokler
What do the great books of your youth have to say about your life now? Smokler's essays on the classicsâ€”witty, down-to-earth, appreciative, and insightfulâ€”are divided into ten sections, each covering an archetypal stage of lifeâ€”from youth and first love to family, loss, and the future. The author not only reminds you about the essential features of each great book but gives you a practical, real-world reason why revisiting it in adulthood is not only enjoyable but useful.
