In Great Books, he leads us on a glorious tour, a rediscovery and celebration of such authors as Homer and Boccaccio, Locke and Nietzsche. Conrad and Woolf. The resulting personal odyssey is an engaging blend of self-discovery, cultural commentary, reporting, criticism, and autobiography -- an inspiration for anyone in love with the written word.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44199955759178,"sku":"7005j","price":9.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/7005j.jpg?v=1789264528","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/great-books-by-david-denby","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
