Why do "Great Books" continue to speak to us hundreds and even thousands of years after they were written? Can they deepen our self-knowledge and wisdom? Are our lives changed in any meaningful way by the experience of reading them?Tackle these questions and more in these 36 engaging lectures. Beginning with his definition of a Great Book as one that possesses a great theme of enduring importance, noble language that "elevates the soul and ennobles the mind," and a universality that enables it to "speak across the ages," Professor Fears examines a body of work that offers extraordinary wisdom to those willing to receive it.

Excellent literary review
Revisado: 09-16-15
Prof, Fears delivers a lively review of the most important literary works in history. His il understanding and explanation is apparent from the beginning of the course, and builds into a cohesive storyline.
Highly recommend to anyone, but especially to young adults as they seek to understand the compulsory reading frequently assigned in school.
I will seek out more courses from Prof. Fears.
