The Penguin Companion to European Literature by Anthony Thorlby
In this magnificent book the reader will find complete descriptions of the literary works of the European continent from the fall of Rome to the present day. The volume deals not only with the literature of France, Germany, Italy, Russia and Spain, but with that of the minor countries and languages: Albanian, Basque, Bulgarian, Croatian, Provencal, and many more. Completely comprehensive, and containing information that simply is not available elsewhere, this particular work will be invaluable to the general reader interested in foreign literature, either in the original or in translation. But as with every volume in the series, it also includes the writings of philosophers, scientists, and historians, in addition to purely literary figures, whenever a connection with literature is demonstrably close. An important new feature-a Guide to Entries by Language and Country-enables readers to locate any entries for a given language or nationality.
This hardcover book is in very good condition with moderate imperfections to the dust jacket but cover in excellent condition. Pages are in very good condition.
