A Guide to 48 Classics

In its remarkably compact discussion of 48 great works of fiction, this deck uses a unique device to explain the characters' interrelationships and one-sided or mutual influence. A “relationship diagram"--combining elements of a flowchart, a family tree, and organizational map--appears on the front of each card. The opposite side yields the work's title, author, and year of publication, with a one-sentence plot summary and notes about its significance in literature, the historical circumstances in which it was produced and received, and sometimes a bit of satisfying literary gossip.

With questions on one side and answers on the other, these 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards! Perfect for students, teachers, and the purely inquisitive, this deck is sure to spark your curiosity and encourage you to delve deeper into this fascinating subject. ISBN: 0-7649-2957-7; size: 3 1/4 x 4".
