This thematically organized anthology treats literature as a continually expanding commentary on our infinitely varied lives, helping students make the connection between literature and their own unique life stories. Each of the anthology's themes--Family, Men and Women, Fear and Loss, Freedom and Responsibility, Imagination and Reality, and Quest--progresses outward from reflections on the self to larger, more universal issues. Within each theme, the readings provide a unique combination of traditional and contemporary works that highlight the diverse cultures and perspectives that make up our world today. Brief, but essential, writing apparatus includes new coverage of literary argument and a stronger emphasis on writing about film.

Excellent book,

This review is from: Literature and Ourselves: A Thematic Introduction for Readers and Writers (5th Edition) (Paperback)
This is a great book for those who like to read short stories, essays, and poems from different genres and authors. I needed it for an Eng Lit class, but I want to own it for myself. Unlike other college books that are sold back to the school, this is a keeper.

This review is from: Literature and Ourselves: A Thematic Introduction for Readers and Writers (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I ordered the book used and when I got it, it was in MUCH worse condition than I expected. The cover was torn up and there was writing and underlining throughout the entire book.
