Description:Why spend weeks slogging through The Iliad when you can just read the haiku? From Homer to Milton to Dostoyevsky, the classics are finally within reach of today's busy readers.In the sixteenth century Zen monks in Japan developed the haiku, a poem consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables. Now, in One Hundred Great Books in Haiku, David Bader applies this ancient poetic form to the literary canon. The formal requirements of the haiku have, admittedly, necessitated a few cuts: characters, plot, dialogue and descriptive passages aren't what they were.

It's the perfect gift for book lovers with short attention spans.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
