Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. In his moving essay, Samuel Johnson offers wise words on confronting grief at the loss of a loved one. The other pieces here, ranging from art to marriage to morality, demonstrate the brilliance, perception and wit that made Johnson the leading man of letters of his day, and one of the finest essayists in the English language.… (altro)

"As one who walks through solemn woods at night, When every star is blotted out with cloud, And storm winds moan with rising passion loud, Holds high abouve his head a torch to light The path he takes, not knowing how to fight The cursed blackness back except endued With radiance from his torch of pine, - else bowed In darkness and defeat his manly might, - So I above the grave of my sweet dead Hold high this torch of God, to light the gloom And pour in sunshine, while with praising breath I track the footsteps of my loved one fled To God's dear land and fair beyond the tomb: And this my torch, "There shall be no more death!"" - Bishop Quayle
