About this list
Book by Luiz Carlos Lisboa, 98 Books
This list is from a Brazilian book about the greatest books of all time. Unfortunately I have been unable to find the entire book. If anyone has any leads let me know! This list is ONLY the more "modern" books on the list and is from our friends at The Modern Novel. Here is their description:
"This comes from a book by Luiz Carlos Lisboa, published by Editora Papagalo. There are actually two books. This one is a guide to the best of world literature. (The other one is a guide to Brazilian literature).
This list will only give the authors and titles of twentieth century novels but, in fact, the book goes back to Homer and covers short stories, poetry, drama and non-fiction, with a brief (one-page) description of each work and its author.
"
This list was originally published in 1972 and was added to this site over 1 year ago.
