Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of different forms of literature, especially novels, in the lives of everyday people. The author explores how reading can serve as a passport for experiencing new and distant lands, as a form of escape from the mundane, for moments of self-reflection, and even a tool for personal growth and transformation. The book delves into the historical and cultural significance of the novel as a literary form, how it has evolved over time, from the jest books of the Tudor period through to the bestselling airport fiction of today, and comprehensively examines the motivations and rewards of different types of readers. The book celebrates the novel form and makes the strong case that reading can play a vital role in our lives and goes on to explore the important connection between reading and happiness.
