Essays
The series of "essays" gave Reich-Ranicki much "grief." Even the choice of the title "essays"
was hotly debated. Reich-Ranicki included not just essays in a classic sense, but also a wide
variety of critical works including criticism of film, literature, music reviews, theater reviews,
essays, speeches, diaries, letters, ephemera, and aphorisms, spanning both fictional and
nonfictional literature. The term "essayistic" was coined for this purpose.
The "essay" canon contains 255 articles from 166 authors covering a wide variety of subject
matter. It is divided into five parts:
from Martin Luther to Arthur Schopenhauer
from Leopold von Ranke to Rosa Luxemburg
from Heinrich Mann to Joseph Roth
from Bertold Brecht to Golo Mann
from Max Frisch to Durs Grnbein
. Robert Coover and William H. Gass
Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction was created in 1998 by the Modern Library. The list
is what it considers to be the 100 best non-fiction books published since 1900.
The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Brooks Adams topped the list, followed by The
Varieties of Religious Experience by William James, Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington
and A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf. The list included everything from memoirs (such
as those listed above) to text books (such as The General Theory of Employment, Interest and
Money by Keynes or The Elements of Style by Strunk and White) to polemics (like Silent Spring
by Rachel Carson or Why We Can't Wait by Martin Luther King), to collections of essays (such
as those of T. S. Eliot or James Baldwin).
A separate list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century was created the same year.
A list chosen by readers was published separately by Modern Library in 1999. With close to
200,000 votes,
[1]
The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand was selected as the best non-fiction
book. Two other titles related to Rand Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand and Ayn
Rand: A Sense of Life were #3 and #6, respectively. The Reader's Poll has been cited by Harry
Binswanger, a longtime associate of Rand and promoter of her work, as representative of "the
clash between the intellectual establishment and the American people."
[2]
However, Jesse
Walker, writing in Reason magazine, has observed that the Reader's Poll is an example of the
unreliability of internet polls and their tendency to overemphasize the opinions of small but
especially devoted groups.
[3]

Vrldsbiblioteket (The World Library) was a Swedish list of the 100 best books in the world,
made in 1991 by the Swedish literary magazine Tidningen Boken. The list was compiled through
votes from members of the Svenska Akademien, Swedish Crime Writers' Academy, librarian,
authors and others. Approximately 30 of the books were Swedish.
