The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Vol. A: Beginnings to A.D. 100, 2nd Edition Seven years ago, W. W. Norton changed the way world literature is taught by introducing The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces, Expanded Edition. Leading the field once again, Norton is proud to publish the anthology for the new century, The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Second Edition. Now published in six paperback volumes (packaged in two attractive slipcases), the new anthology boasts slimmer volumes, thicker paper, a bolder typeface, and dozens of newly included or newly translated works from around the world.

The Norton Anthology of World Literature represents continuity as well as change. Like its predecessor, the anthology is a compact library of world literature, offering an astounding forty-three complete longer works, more than fifty prose works, over one hundred lyric poems, and twenty-three plays. More portable, more suitable for period courses, more pleasant to read, and more attuned to current teaching and research trends, The Norton Anthology of World Literature remains the most authoritative, comprehensive, and teachable anthology for the world literature survey.

Customer Review: “Missing” Apple manual
The iPhone is a great product. But it takes getting used to. I am an Apple/Macintosh devote since 1994, but one place they fall down is on manuals. If they have one at all it is incomprehensible. I am also a fan of all the “dummie” books. And this is a good one.
Customer Review: Helpful
The iPhone is very intuitive to use, but there are features and tips that let you get the most from it. These are covered well in this familiar “Dummies” format.
