Zapoorza - A brief overview of English/Western literture

Few days ago, I read a Marathi book written by Achyut Godbole - 'Zapoorza' - A brief introduction to English/Western Literature by terms of walking us through lives of greatest English writers and their literature summary.

There are two parts of the book, out of which I read part 1. This book very nicely covers the lives of greatest English writers in brief and interesting stories behind the birth of greatest novels /dramas/ poems.

This book includes world class writers such as William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Henrik Ibsen, Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Franz Kafka, Ernest Hemingway,Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus.

The 2nd part of the book includes some more famous writers such as Honoré de Balzac,
Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Miller, Thomas Hardy, etc. to name a few.

For a person who wants to touch upon the wide variety of the English/western literature, these books are a really good choice. I am planning to read the 2nd part of this book in near future.

Thank you to Achyut Godbole for this excellent work !

    So, where are you idiot Achyut IIT Powai Solapur etc? Why not add Pandharpur Madhugandha, Madhuganda, BrahminganDa, etc. Kokyaa?

    Get in touch, you will not. Because, you were born off Balaji Vishwanath, the one employed to look after horses, you foreigner.

    White skin. Very proud of it, haven't you (or your ancestors---baap, aaaji, aajobaa, etc. you bhat---hired military aid---bastards?) been?
