What's it about?

A good book can brighten up your day—but a great book can completely alter the course of history and life, as we know it. In this collection, you'll explore books that have kick-started revolutions, forced us to confront the reality of humanity's dark side, and offered us a different perspective on how the world works. From Ancient Greek and Eastern Philosophy to the humble writings of a teenage girl during one of the darkness hours of humanity, quintessential gender studies texts to Dale Carnegie's classic that accelerated the self-help movement, there's something for everyone.
