Books That Changed the World tells the fascinating stories behind 50 books that, in ways great and small, have changed the course of human history. Andrew Taylor sets each text in its historical context and explores its wider influence and legacy. Whether he's discussing the incandescent effect of The Qu'ran, the enduring influence of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, of the way in which Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe galavanized the anti-slavery movement, Taylor has written a stirring and informative testament to human ingenuity and endeavour. Ranging from The Iliad to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the Kama Sutra to Lady Chatterley's Lover, this is the ultimate, thought-provoking read for book-lovers everywhere.

Originally published from 1932 to 1943, Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books are classics of children's literature, beloved by millions. But readers who last enjoyed them as children may be astonished at the quiet Books That Changed the World: The 50 Most Influential Books in Human History ebook pdf poetry of Wilder's prose and the force and poignancy of her portrait of the lives of American pioneers. Now The Library of America and editor Caroline Fraser present a new two-volume edition that affirms Wilder's place in the American canon, reintroducing these enduring works to readers young and old. Here, for the first time in two collectible hardcover volumes, are all eight "Little House" novels--brilliant narratives of the early life of Laura Ingalls and her family as they grow up with the country in the woods, on the plains, and finally in the small towns of the advancing American frontier--plus the posthumous novella "The First Four Years," which recounts the early years of the author's marriage to Almanzo Wilder. This second volume includes "By the Shores of Silver Lake," "The Long Winter," "Little Town on the Prairie," "These Happy Golden "Years, and "The First Four Years," plus two rare autobiographical pieces that reveal real life events not included in the novels and address the inevitable question: what happened next? A companion volume gathers "Little House in the Big Woods," "Farmer Boy," " Little House on the Prairie," and "On the Banks of Plum Creek." Each volume features a newly-researched chronology of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and career, and helpful notes. The volumes are also available in a deluxe collector's boxed set, "The Little House Books: The Library of America Collection."
