One hell of a book!

This is one of the best anthologies I have ever read. It is filled with poetry, short stories, and dramas (plays) by a myriad of different authors. Anyone who buys this book is certain to get their money's worth.

It's a textbook

It's a textbook. You are required to buy it to take the course. It's cheaper to buy it on Amazon, than at your college book store. That's all you need to know.

Literature: The Human Experience Reading and Writing

Book in good condition and delivered by date stated. I am very pleased with the books and service provided by Amazon.

For its broad range of engaging literature and flexible arrangement at the lowest net price, the shorter edition of Literature: The Human Experience is a classroom favorite, now with more help for reading literature and an emphasis on global ideas. Selections are carefully chosen and arranged around the classic themes of humanity, such as Love and Hate and Culture and Identity, to help students connect what they read to their own life experiences. The shorter edition offers more selections from around the globe and new ways to open students' eyes to a broader world literature.
