50 plus one Great Books You Should Have Read
by George Walsh
Think it is impossible to chose 50 plus one books from world literature as the must reads in the 21st
century? Well, the editors of Encouragement Press found this to be a daunting task…but we did it. 50 plus
one Great Books You Should Have Read is a masterpiece of information for educated individuals who want to
expand their horizons or simply impress friends at a cocktail party.
George Walsh and his advisory panel looked through the world's literature to find those books, both fiction
and non-fiction, which have the greatest impact on writing, government, international politics, religion,
the arts and sciences. The list is international in scope and spans the centuries, from Plato's Republic
to Dickens' Great Expectations; this is a stellar presentation, which will round out any education.
You have the advantage of not only learning about the authors and the books themselves, but will gain
specific commentary on why each title is so important and how its impact had national and international
implications. Many of the books chosen for this list have survived centuries and are considered essential
for a liberal education.
In rare cases, Mr. Walsh will recommend a summary or commentary in addition to an essential work
itself-recognizing that some titles are too long or too difficult for casual reading.
