One Day University: "Eight Books That Changed the World"

Whether any of these eight literary marvels make your all-time favorites list, Joseph Luzzi, a professor of literature and Italian at Bard College, will make an excellent case for their inclusion, in this One Day University seminar at New York's Symphony Space. Luzzi, who's taught at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, brings these masterpieces to life, as he discusses their collective impact on ancient and modern culture. From 20th-century works like Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse", Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man", Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" and Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" to timeless classics like "Hamlet, The Divine Comedy, The Odyssey" and even the Bible, you'll dive deep under their covers and come away with a new understanding of these all-time favorites.
