Description:
A transporting and illuminating voyage around the globe, through classic and modern literary works that are in conversation with one another and with the world around them




Inspired by Jules Verne's hero Phileas Fogg, David Damrosch, chair of Harvard's department of Comparative Literature and founder of Harvard's Institute for World Literature, set out to counter a pandemic's restrictions on travel by exploring eighty exceptional books from around the globe. Following a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran, and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel prizewinners Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mo Yan, and Olga Tokarczuk, he explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world, and the ways the world bleeds into literature.




To chart the expansive landscape of world literature today, Damrosch explores how writers live in two very different worlds- the world of their personal experience, and the world of books that have enabled great writers to give shape and meaning to their lives. In his literary cartography, Damrosch includes compelling contemporary works as well as perennial classics, hard-bitten crime fiction as well as haunting works of fantasy, and the formative tales that introduce us as children to the world we're entering. Taken together, these eighty titles offer us fresh perspective on perennial problems, from the social consequences of epidemics to the rising inequality that Thomas More designed Utopia to combat and the patriarchal structures within and against which many of these books' heroines have to struggle, from the work of Murasaki Shikibu a millenniu

Amazing Jewelry Travel Case
I bought this jewelry case for traveling on a cruise and I absolutely LOVE IT! When I purchased it I didn’t know if it would actually fit all the jewelry I wanted to bring but this box definitely impressed me! It fit all my regular jewelry plus more bc you know us woman love to coordinate with our outfits lol the case/box is sturdy! It didn’t break or even dent throughout my travels. It comes with different pieces to help organize and separate jewelry but it is removable if needed which I had to do bc one of my necklaces is really big. The case fit perfectly in my carry on luggage and didn’t take up much room at all which helped me a lot. I got the black case and I just love how simple and sleek it looks. This is definitely a must have if you need to travel with jewelry and are concerned about things getting damaged, this case keeps them safe and it’s definitely a great value for your money!

Absolutely the BEST hold for headphones!!
Style: Studio-Grade White – One Pack
Perfect...just needed something easy to use and gentle on my headphones to get them out of the way when not in use. I have purchased several different holders from "TotalMount" and all their stuff is top quality high grade. Nothing flimsy here. I would highly recommend. Holder adheres to any surface and removes without leaving a mark. Sticks using command strips (4 strips for super secure hold) and has a smooth grey silicon liner that looks very mod. I purchased the white hold. I would most definitely purchase again.

Simple and easy
This headphone holder is excellent! It’s super easy to install without screws or permanent adhesives, so it won’t damage my walls. The mount feels very sturdy and holds my headphones securely, and the sleek black design looks great in my studio setup. A simple, practical solution for keeping headphones organized and within reac
