Literary stories

Author: Gil Moses/Shi Jing
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2005-01-01
Features: This is a lengthy volume of critiques on literary figures and their works written by the renowned scholar Gil Moses in the 1920s. It has remained a bestseller since publication, largely due to the author's elegant prose and extensive knowledge. Reading is an art, an elegant art, yet it is not as grand or as creative as other art forms. Simply reading is far easier than writing a beautiful passage. Nevertheless, "creation in reception" still holds validity. All art involves this element—viewers of paintings, listeners of music, and readers are all creators. This book is written for these readers. This is a lengthy volume of critiques on literary figures and their works written by the renowned scholar Gil Moses in the 1920s.
