Instead of reading new novels, William Dudley Foulke resolved to reread the great ones, and here he condenses and comments on them one by one: Rabelais’s Gargantua, Don Quixote, Gil Blas, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver’s Travels, Manon Lescaut and many later classics. Each chapter summarises the story and weighs what makes it endure.
