  • "The reading of a book is a conversation with the author. You should be prepared to engage in a dialogue, challenging the text and exploring its ideas."
  • "To be a good reader, one must develop a sense of the structure of the book, understanding how it's organized and how the arguments unfold."

Author : Mortimer J. Adler

This book was written by two authors. The first is Mortimer J. Adler, who was a scholar, educator, and editor. He was the chief editor for ‘Great Books of the Western World’ and directed the editing for the 15th edition of the ‘Encyclopedia Britannica’. The second author was Charles van Doren, who was a professor at Columbia University and later left his position to edit the ‘Encyclopedia Britannica’ with Adler. He provided substantial literary input and rewrote the first edition of this book. Thus, both their names were on the new 1970 edition of this book.
