Features: Recommended by the authoritative book experts and subject specialists of the New York Public Library! A not-so-distant cultural heritage of the century, featuring 12 major categories and 175 books, interpreting the classics of 20th-century humanities through representative works! No single book can encompass the 12 major disciplines—literature, natural sciences, sociology, political history, psychology, popular culture, feminism, economics, idealism, war history, and children's literature—as comprehensively as The Book of the Century, embracing the essence of humanities throughout the 20th century. This The Book of the Century serves both as a guide for reading and as a tool for reference. Of course, from the perspective of cultural studies, any bibliography will have its focus and limitations, and this "century book" list is no exception. For Chinese readers, this list can serve as a reference and inspiration.
