The Backbone Of Western Literature.

A magnificent & enriching collection of literary works that excel consistenly to the heart & nature of man.These classics remarkably sound so fresh & so important in our present age that to disregard them would be a terrible crime to the benefit & cultivation of our sensibilities.The trademarks of this great civilization's authors are a rich simplicity powerful in it's beauty for description & a precise,matter-of-fact way of describing or presenting their statements that put a lot of gullible modern authors to mortal shame.The most powerful sections are the ones on philosophy & lyric poetry.The passion,intensity & convicingness of the best in these categories have scarcely been matched,then or since.Although several selected lyrics are unremarkable & unrepresentative,the strength & greatness of the rest shadow all of these through.All forms of works since then have come from these works of timeless sublimity, & it's doubtful if it! will ever be replaced;for here is the probabable basis of all what we are & what we will be.MY RATING FOR THIS IS 4 & A HALF STARS.
