Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how \"everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it\"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 21 include: . the writings of Thomas Jefferson, including the Declaration of Independence . the letters of Samuel Johnson . the writings of Ben Jonson . selections from the historical writings of Josephus . selections from Juvenal . excerpts from the Kabbalah . the philosophy of Immanuel Kant . the poems of John Keats . the religious devotions of Thomas à Kempis . and much, much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Dudley Warner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1605202061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781605202068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Charles Dudley Warner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579808104703,"sku":"9781605202068","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8797d09f-2a39-46ee-83fc-7b715a7b9822.jpg?v=1763876793","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-library-of-the-worlds-charles-dudley-warner-9781605202068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
