(More customer reviews)The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces: Vol. 1 / 0-393-96346-2
I own several anthologies for my private library, salvaged from college book sales over the years, and this is definitely one of my favorites. The world literature selections presented here really are from all over the world, and not are predominantly "western" writings. There's quite a bit of material that I haven't seen elsewhere (ancient Egyptian love songs, for example) and the translations are fluid and easy to read. I recommend this anthology for anyone looking to enrich a personal library with world literary selections.
