ONE HUNDRED BEST BOOKS
WITH COMMENTARY AND AN ESSAY ON
BOOKS AND READING
BY JOHN COWPER POWYS
This list is designed to supply the need of persons who wish to acquire a general knowledge of such books in world-literature as are at once exciting and thrilling to the ordinary mind and written in the style of the masters. It recognizes the fact that modern people are most interested in modern books; but it recognizes also that such books, to be worthy of this interest, must uphold the classical tradition of manner and form.
