<p><b><i>Life Lessons from Literature </i>is a must for all bibliophiles, providing a concise and highly accessible bucket list of must-read books that teaches us so many fundamental truths and broadens our minds.</b><br><br>‘I read a book one day and my whole life was changed … So confesses the narrator of Orhan Pamuks novel <i>The New Life</i>. But what can we learn from reading books? <i>Life Lessons from Literature </i>poses this broad question by examining the works of some of the <b>greatest writers </b>in history.<br><br>In it, we can draw wisdom from Charles Dickens views on poverty and wealth; seek comfort from ideas about love from Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. Yet books are about much more than just romance and money. Through <b>careful examination </b>of over <b>one hundred classic works </b>of world literature, life lessons are also drawn from themes such as <b>conflict </b>and <b>oppression, identity and psychology</b>, showing how <b>literature enriches and informs </b>our understanding of ourselves and the wider world around us.<br><br>From Brazil to Japan, the Americas to Africa; from Victor Hugo to Mark Twain and Chinua Achebe to Haruki Murakami, you will find literature from around the world in this gem of a book, in which the <b>plots may differ </b>but the <b>themes and the lessons </b>they have to teach us are entirely <b>universal</b>.</p>
