Customer Reviews

These volumes contain digests of the great books. The following is from the introduction of Volume 1:

"In THE WORLD'S GREATEST BOOKS an attempt has been made to effect a compendium of the world's best literature in a form that shall be at once accessible to every one and still faithful to its originals; or, in other words, it has been sought to allow the original author to tell his own story over again in his own language, but in the shortest possible space.

An important additional feature of the work is the brief, yet highly critical biographical and bibliographical note which accompanies every author "

These volumes might be called the "Cliff Notes" collection.
