World literature encompasses a vast and diverse collection of literary works from around the globe, representing the rich tapestry of human experiences, cultures, and perspectives. It includes renowned classics like Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey,” which explores the hero’s journey and themes of identity and homecoming, and Shakespeare’s plays, such as “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet,” which delve into complex human emotions and societal dynamics. World literature also features influential novels like Miguel de Cervantes’ “Don Quixote,” a timeless exploration of illusion and reality, and Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart,” which confronts the clash of cultures and the effects of colonialism. It encompasses the lyrical verses of Persian poet Rumi, the poignant prose of Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami, the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the existential ponderings of Albert Camus. From ancient epics to contemporary works, world literature celebrates the universal power of storytelling and its ability to bridge cultural divides, inspire empathy, and illuminate the human condition.
