Sinossi
Cosa simboleggia la balena bianca in Moby Dick? Che cos'è in narrativa il flusso di coscienza? Cosa hanno in comune "Lolita" e "Arancia meccanica"? Il libro risponde a queste e altre domande, esplorando movimenti, correnti, personaggi e stili di scrittura attraverso 250 opere letterarie. Scritto in modo semplice, "Il libro della letteratura" analizza elementi letterari e linguistici, ed è, inoltre, ricco di incisive didascalie, grafiche e immagini che aiutano a fissare con chiarezza i temi centrali, le figure di spicco e gli stili, dall'epica antica, da cui emergono capolavori come l'Iliade o il Mahabharata, alle opere moderne di Italo Calvino, Bret Eston Ellis, Zadie Smith e molti altri.
