Description
On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books
A guided tour through great literature explores twelve virtues that philosophers and theologians have identified as essential for good character and the good life. Karen Swallow Prior examines works by authors such as Henry Fielding, Jane Austen, Flannery O'Connor, and Cormac McCarthy, uncovering universal themes found in classic books.
With end-of-chapter reflection questions and original artwork throughout, this book helps readers learn to love life, literature, and God through their encounters with great writing. A foreword by Leland Ryken adds depth to Prior's lively exploration of building character through books.
