However, notorious among the <em>modern critics<\/em> for some of them to be overrated.<\/p>\n<p>Today we are here for those who\u2019ve just had their introduction to this largely <em>undefinable<\/em> genre. The beginners find it hard where to begin from. Should they go all the way back to Theban Plays, start somewhere around <em>Shakespeare <\/em>and <em>Marlowe<\/em> or stick to the contemporary works of <a href=\"http:\/\/margaretatwood.ca\/\">Margret Atwood<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/paulocoelhoblog.com\/\">Paulo Coelho<\/a>? This extensive and complex timeline makes it difficult for the readers to choose which classic book should they be reading. Therefore, <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/\">Daastan<\/a> is here to make that confusing process very easy. In this blog, we present to you \u201c<em>The Guide to reading Classics<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Defining a Classic<\/h2>\n<p>Before diving into the recommendations, let us first familiarise you with the concept of <i>classics. <\/i>The first thing that may come to your mind is that, this genre maybe specific to an <em>era<\/em> or a <em>theme.<\/em> However, that is not the case. For a literary piece to be recognised as a <i>classic<\/i>, it must contain certain qualities. Here\u2019s a few of them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Universal Acknowledgment<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every great work of literature attracts the attention of people worldwide. For it encompasses themes that are universally significant for human beings. Themes like <em>death<\/em>, <em>love, loss, grief<\/em> and <em>faith<\/em> evoke intense emotions in the readers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Transcends cultural and linguistic barriers\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Works of literary geniuses like <em>Paulo Coelho<\/em> and <em>Cervantes<\/em> have been translated in more than <strong>50 languages<\/strong>. Therefore, the reason for this <em>cultural<\/em> and <em>linguistic<\/em> transcendence is the quality of their work. From compelling characterisation to phenomenal plots, classics find their readership across borders and seas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Timelessness\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Words become immortal when they pass from one generation to another and so on. The reason for that is often their <em>message.<\/em> Moreover, the way it resonates with people of different eras is also noteworthy. It is no coincidence that <em>Plato, Shakespeare<\/em> and <em>Khalil Gibran<\/em> are popular for their wisdom-bearing works even today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6961\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-scaled.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6961 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Guide to reading Classics \" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-696x928.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6D4CE39B-5787-4D52-826C-1DC190475608-1068x1424.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Handmaid\u2019s Tale by Margeret Atwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apart from that, the term <i>classic <\/i>is not to be confused with <i>classical.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>Less is More<\/h2>\n<p>If you sit down to make a <b>to-be-read\u00a0<\/b>pile of all the classics ever written, you\u2019ll never be able to even make it halfway through it. It is because there\u2019s a large number of them present tiday. Instead, focus on reading the ones you genuinely want to read. Besides, not every book is for everyone. One way to find a classic worth your read is to narrow down your list to a <em>sub-genre<\/em> you enjoy reading. For instance if you\u2019re someone who loves Greek and Roman works, you can start with <strong>Homer<\/strong> and <strong>Iliad\u2019s<\/strong> epics. If you\u2019re into books covering Biblical themes, Dante\u2019s <i>Divine Comedy<\/i> and Milton\u2019s <i>Paradise Lost\u00a0<\/i>can be a good start.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6962\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6962 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Guide to reading Classics\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-696x928.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/589ED013-A12B-49AE-95BA-8DE18206762A-1068x1424.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harper Lee\u2019s To Kill a Mocking Bird<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Recommendations<\/h2>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time for some of our top classic picks:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>The Theban Plays &#8211; Sophocles<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Divine Comedy &#8211; Dante Alighieri\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><i>Hamlet &#8211; William Shakespeare\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Dr. Faustus &#8211; Christopher Marlowe <\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Frankenstein &#8211; Percy Bysshe Shelley\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>The Picture of Dorian Gray &#8211; Oscar Wilde\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<li><em>Wuthering Heights &#8211; Emily Bront\u00eb<\/em><\/li>\n<li><i>Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Sherlock Holmes &#8211; Arthur Conan Dyle\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale &#8211; Margeret Atwood\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can find more classics recommendations by Daastan at <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/the-greatest-novels-ever-written\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThe Greatest Novels Ever Written\u201d<\/a>.
