GREATEST ESSAYS

The literary offerings of the
greatest essayists spanning centuries 
Jonathan Swift ‘meditates upon a broomstick’ and Mark Twain tells us
‘how to tell a story’. While Ralph Waldo Emerson indulges in the dilemma of
giving that ‘perfect gift’, Francis Bacon ruminates on the expression of
‘truth’. Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Arthur
Schopenhauer and many more writers reveal their literary minds and finest
writings on subjects as varied as love, sorrow, sleep, pets, friends, nature,
childhood and anything and everything that portrays life.  Magisterial in scope and authentic in
style, this collection, spanning generations of wit, wisdom and literary
fables, brings together the greatest essays by the British and American
literary treasures. This book includes a fine selection of long and major
essays along with shorter but enticing pieces that will entertain, move and
challenge the readers.
