The New Lifetime Reading Plan à The Well-Educated Mind by Susan Wise-Bauer (Novembre 2009)

The New Lifetime Reading Plan: The Classical Guide… par Clifton Fadiman

"The New Lifetime Reading Plan": una guida per esplorare la letteratura mondiale
"The New Lifetime Reading Plan: The Classical Guide to World Literature, Revised and Expanded" di Clifton Fadiman si propone come una mappa per orientarsi nell'immenso panorama della letteratura mondiale.

Punti di forza:

Selezione accurata: Fadiman propone una selezione di oltre 130 classici, dai capisaldi del mondo antico come Omero e Platone ai giganti del Novecento come Solženicyn. La revisione del libro include opere di scrittrici come Emily Dickinson e Charlotte Brontë, e autori non occidentali come Confucio e Chinua Achebe, dando spazio a voci spesso trascurate.
Organizzazione chiara: La struttura cronologica, suddivisa in cinque sezioni (Il mondo antico, 300-1600, 1600-1800 e il XX secolo), facilita la consultazione.
Stile accattivante: Le introduzioni di Fadiman sono informative e scritte in modo piacevole, invogliando il lettore ad approfondire le opere.
Considerazioni:

Immensità della letteratura: Ovviamente nessuna lista, per quanto ampia, può considerarsi esaustiva. Può essere un punto di partenza, ma è bene tenere presente la vastità della produzione letteraria mondiale.
Canone occidentale: Sebbene Fadiman abbia incluso più autori non occidentali in questa edizione, il focus rimane principalmente sulla tradizione letteraria occidentale.

In sintesi:

"The New Lifetime Reading Plan" è una risorsa preziosa per chi desidera intraprendere un viaggio attraverso la storia della letteratura. Le introduzioni di Fadiman fungono da ottimi punti di partenza per lettori curiosi di scoprire i classici, siano essi già appassionati o alle prime armi. Tieni presente che si tratta di una guida che apre le porte a un mondo sterminato, e sta a te decidere quali sentieri letterari vorrai esplorare in seguito.… (plus d'informations)
