Maailmakirjanduse leksikon. 1000 kirjanikku. 10 000 teost

The lexicon, which was produced in collaboration between 26 authors in Great Britain, introduces 1,005 world-famous writers in alphabetical order through the 3,000-year history of fiction – from Homer to John Grisham. The work pays special attention to authors who wrote in English, some of whom are still relatively unknown to Estonian readers. The work introduces the relationships between the lives and creative paths of writers in a witty and engaging way. In addition, the work's versatile index, which groups the writers discussed based on their native language, years of life and genres, provides a good overview of the history of world literature.

The book also contains a complete list of translations of the works of the authors discussed in the book into Estonian throughout the ages, along with precise bibliographic data. The list has been compiled based on the Estonian national bibliography database ERB and the e-catalogue ESTER. "The Lexicon of World Literature" is a worthy gift for a school graduate, a good helper for a teacher, and an effective handbook for book lovers of all ages who want to refresh their memory of the work of a classic or get an overview of an author they have not yet known.
