Описание:
The story of how literature shaped world history, in sixteen acts--from Alexander the Great and the
Iliad
to
Don Quixote
and Harry Potter
In this groundbreaking book, Martin Puchner leads us on a remarkable journey through time and around the globe to reveal the powerful role stories and literature have played in creating the world we have today. Puchner introduces us to numerous visionaries as he explores sixteen foundational texts selected from more than four thousand years of world literature and reveals how writing has inspired the rise and fall of empires and nations, the spark of philosophical and political ideas, and the birth of religious beliefs. Indeed, literature has touched the lives of generations and changed the course of history.
At the heart of this book are works, some long-lost and rediscovered, that have shaped civilization: the first written masterpiece, the
Epic of Gilgamesh;
Ezras Hebrew Bible; the teachings of Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus; and the first great novel in world literature,
The
Tale of Genji
, written by a Japanese woman known as Murasaki. Visiting Baghdad, Puchner tells of Scheherazade and the stories of
One Thousand and One Nights,
and in the Americas we watch the astonishing survival of the Maya epic
Popol Vuh
. Cervantes, who invented the modern novel, battles pirates both real (when he is taken prisoner) and literary (when a fake sequel to
Don Quixote
is published). We learn of Benjamin Franklins pioneering work as a media entrepreneur, watch Goethe discover world literature in Sicily, and follow the rise in influence of
The
Communist Manifesto
. We visit Troy, Pergamum, and China, and we speak with Nobel laureates Derek Walcott in the Caribbean and Orhan Pamuk in Istanbul, as well as the wordsmiths of the oral epic
Sunjata
in West Africa.
Throughout
The Written World,
Puchners delightful narrative also chronicles the inventions--writing technologies, the printing press, the book itself--that have shaped religion, politics, commerce, people, and history. In a book that Elaine Scarry has praised as unique and spellbinding, Puchner shows how literature turned our planet into a written world.
Well worth a read, to find out how come we read.--Margaret Atwood, via Twitter
A gripping intellectual odyssey.
--Publishers Weekly
An expansive, exuberant survey of the central importance of literature in human culture but also a great adventure story.--Stephen Greenblatt, author of
