Summary

180 Masterpieces of World Literature (Vol.1) presents an unparalleled collection that traverses the vast landscape of human thought, creativity, and experience through texts that have profoundly influenced the course of world literature. This anthology celebrates the diverse methodologies, philosophies, and literary styles exhibited across centuries—from the introspective existential inquiries of Dostoevsky to the whimsical realms devised by Lewis Carroll, and from the keen social observations of Jane Austen to the epic adventures penned by Homer. The collection underlines not only the diversity of human thought but also the universal themes that bind these disparate works: the quest for truth, the nature of justice, the complexities of human nature, and the pursuit of beauty, making it an essential compendium for scholars and enthusiasts alike. The contributing authors and editors, hailing from various epochs, geographies, and intellectual traditions, reflect a rich tapestry of humanity's cultural heritage. Figures such as Plato and Marcus Aurelius offer ancient wisdom while Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo provide a window into the social injustices of their times. The amalgamation of legendary poets, playwrights, philosophers, and novelists in this volume not only underscores significant historical and cultural movements but also showcases the evolution of literary expression, from the inception of written narrative to contemporary compositions. Their collective works, embodying the quintessence of human achievement in literature, converge to forge a multifaceted exploration of life's enduring inquiries. 180 Masterpieces of World Literature (Vol.1) invites readers on a journey across time and space, offering a unique opportunity to engage with the minds of some of history's greatest thinkers and storytellers. This anthology serves not merely as an academic resource but as a gateway into the vast expanses of human expression, encouraging readers to explore the intersections between these masterpieces and the contemporary world. It promises an enriching exploration for those keen to immerse themselves in the continuum of literary magnificence, fostering a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling and its capacity to illuminate the human condition.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
 
Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
 
Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
 
At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
 
The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
 
“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
