Great Works and Me by Richard Fallquist is a unique resource that stems from the author’s own desire to learn more about ‘the great works.’ From literature to art, and everything in between, each chapter features curated lists and summaries that provide a rich basis for thought-provoking discussions, research, and deeper learning. This guide gives you what you need to discover analyses, lectures, and more. Many of the works featured will be familiar, while other works will be great discoveries. Fallquist takes you on an epic journey that will open your mind to new, incredible works. From the famed works of Shakespeare to the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci to the books of the Bible, this is the ultimate ‘bucket list’ guide.
Richard Fallquist opens each chapter with a solid overview of each subject, paired with a curated list of resources that will help you understand the content further. This includes TED talks, summaries, crash courses, and more. This is perfect for those with their own bucket lists of classics they want to explore. Those who love literature, as well as those who want to learn more about music, art, and plays, will find something special in this guide. Each chapter gives you a brief overview of the history and in-depth lists that will help you focus on a work at a time. You’ll dive into literary classics, such as Madame Bovary, Jane Eyre, Moby Dick, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But you’ll also be introduced to new favorites, such as Middlemarch. The author's longing to know more is infectious and makes you want to dive into every subject provided. A lot of the book focuses on classic written works, those known for their poetry, drama, or philosophy, but it also takes time to examine other classics. Fallquist features his favorite plays, introducing you to Death of a Salesman, then dives into famous artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Rembrandt. Fallquist pays it forward with this must-have resource ideal for students looking for resources for theses, presentations, and papers, but this can also be used by anyone, of any age, seeking to learn more. Great Works and Me is highly recommended to anyone studying literature, theology, music theory, or art history, as it’s a brilliant companion unlike anything else you’ll find.
