Description:

Shakespeare, Plato, Socrates. Those are the classics, some people might say. But what is it that makes a book a classic? Is it the content, the time, the author? On today's episode we'll talk about it and we'll try to find an aswer together.

SHOW NOTES:

There are no strict metrics to call a classic book that, but we may think on a few.

BFor some people it's about the age, the subject matter, the universality, the author.

Some of the authors and books I mentioned on this episode are: Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert; The Stranger, by Albert Camus; 100 Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Shakespeare, Molière, Plato, Socrates, William Faulkner.

What do you consider makes a book classic?
