Richard Fallquist had always wanted to learn more about the great classics of art, literature, music, and more but found the idea daunting—where should he begin? Then he had an idea: He would use his talents for list making from his career as an actuary to create his own “bucket list” guide to the classics!
Using this unique approach, Richard created Great Works and Me, an exciting new resource that provides curated lists of the greatest works and masterpieces of the Western Canon, arranged by topic. Great Works and Me includes Literature by century (from the Bible, to Shakespeare, to the 20th Century), as well as comprehensive overviews of Music, Theatre, Poetry, Opera, and Art. Each listing includes useful summaries and discussions, plus easy to follow resource lists that include online lectures, analyses, videos, and more. With enthusiasm and meticulous research, Richard welcomes you to accompany him as he guides you through the riches of the greatest cultural masterpieces across the ages.
“Like many of us, I’ve always wanted to take more time to appreciate art and culture,” comments author Richard Fallquist. “But there was such a mountain of material, I was never sure where to begin. However, once I finally began to explore the great works, I realized how easy and rewarding it can be, so I wanted to share my own approaches in hopes that it will help others to explore art, literature, music, culture, and more without feeling intimidated or unsure of where to start.”
Thanks to Richard’s research, organization, and his thoughtful and accessible prose, Great Works and Me makes the classics more accessible than ever while shining a spotlight on what sets them apart. Whether you’re looking to revisit old favorites or explore great works for the first time, you’ll find an inspiring and fast roadmap to cultural enrichment.
Great Works and Me is available now in trade paperback ($19.95) and for a special Ebook price of just 99 cents through April 28, then at its regular price of $9.95, at major bookstores and book sites including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org.
