A transporting and illuminating voyage around the globe, through classic and modern literary works that are in conversation with one another and with the world around them

*Featured in the Chicago Tribune's Great 2021 Fall Book Preview*

Inspired by Jules Vernes hero Phileas Fogg, David Damrosch, chair of Harvard Universitys department of comparative literature and founder of Harvards Institute for World Literature, set out to counter a pandemics restrictions on travel by exploring eighty exceptional books from around the globe. Following a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel Prizewinners Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mo Yan, and Olga Tokarczuk, he explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world, and the ways in which the world bleeds into literature.
 
To chart the expansive landscape of world literature today, Damrosch explores how writers live in two very different worlds: the world of their personal experience and the world of books that have enabled great writers to give shape and meaning to their lives. In his literary cartography, Damrosch includes compelling contemporary works as well as perennial classics, hard-bitten crime fiction as well as haunting works of fantasy, and the formative tales that introduce us as children to the world were entering. Taken together, these eighty titles offer us fresh perspective on enduring problems, from the social consequences of epidemics to the rising inequality that Thomas More designed to combat, as well as the patriarchal structures within and against which many of these books heroines have to strugglefrom the work of Murasaki Shikibu a millennium ago to Margaret Atwood today.
 
is a global invitation to look beyond ourselves and our surroundings, and to see our world and its literature in new ways.
