Description
A selected list of fifty of the most influential books of all time, from The Epic of Gilgamesh and works by Confucius and Plato, via scientific treatises and historic 'firsts' (like the first printed book) to cultural works of enduring impact. It would take more than a lifetime to read and absorb all of them - but this volume allows you to become ridiculously well read in just a fraction of the time. This isn't a celebration of the canon: it's about the books that have changed how we think and live.
