Thomas Foster, professor at the University of Michigan at Flint, author of the bestselling book How to Read Literature Like a Professor, highlights milestones in the "short, disorderly and completely unusual" history of the novel genre, helps to understand the narrative fabric of novels and learn to see the hidden connections between the works of different authors and eras. A real gift for the discerning reader! “The irresistible charm of the novel is largely due to its ability to cooperate; readers are involved in the stories of the characters, they themselves actively participate in the creation of meaning. They are rewarded with pleasures that are more natural than the inherently artificial genres of drama or film. Live communication between the creator and his audience begins from the first line, does not stop until the last word, and thanks to him, even after reading, we remember the novel for a long time ... We decide whether to agree with the author on what is important, we bring our concepts and fantasy in what is connected with the characters and events, we are drawn not just into the plot, but into all aspects of the novel, together with the author we create its meaning. We do not part with the book, we keep it alive, even if the author has been dead for many centuries. Active, indifferent reading is the key to the life of the novel, the reward and joy of the life of the reader. (Thomas Foster)
