Features: This is a literary history written by a novelist, and compared to other similar works, it undoubtedly has more personality and is uniquely distinctive. The author firmly believes that the figures and works he lists—from the earliest Greek travel writer and historian Herodotus to the Latin American magical realism literary family, from the Roman Metamorphoses of the skeptical era to the postmodern anti-theatrical Waiting for Godot—are all literary giants and masterpieces that we cannot afford to ignore and must read. Judging from the popularity of the English edition of this book, the author's confidence is well-founded.
