Literature Classics

The Three Musketeers was a novel written by Alexandre Dumas. The story is about the adventures of D'Artagnan and his friends Athos, Porthos and Aramis. The story is quite complicated but I suggest looking up on Wikipedia. You could also read the whole story as it one of the all time classics

That would probably be either Cash, because he is really the only smart person in the entire group, or Tull, because he is outside of the family and he is not totally ignorant like Anse or Dewey Dell.

Also the point Faulkner tries to make with this whole story is the reliability of the narrator. This book is supposed to make you question the narrators' purpose. So in a sense, you cannot really trust any of the characters because it is also written in stream of conscience. Since it is written in stream of conscience each character is saying how they personally feel, which is very subjective.

The title is never given, just the fact that it is yellow and "a French novel that charts the outrageous experiences of its pleasure-seeking protagonist". Thus we can assume that it's Joris-Karl Huysman's nineteenth-century novel "À Rebours",translated as "Against the Grain" or "Against Nature".

The main idea in the Morte d'Arthur story written by Sir Thomas Malory is that all men should protect the weaker people. Another concept of the story is that men need to conduct themselves with honor.

In today's English it means:

And so at that time Sir Lancelot had the greatest name of all knights of the world and he was the most honored by the high and low.

Which means that Sir Lancelot earned the title of Greatest Knight of the World and all the people both great or small, rich or poor, mighty or weak gave him the most honor above all other knights.

“We are alive. We are human, with good and bad in us. That's all we know for sure. We can't create a new species or a new world. That's been done. Now we have to live within those boundaries. What are our choices? We can despair and curse, and change nothing. We can choose evil like our enemies have done and create a world based on hate. Or we can try to make things better.”

... in general, a book that has stood or can stand the test of time and remains popular and pertinent.

However, there are a lot of other questions there, including... how much time, popular to who, and pertinent to who. Readers are the people who make books into classics, and sometimes that is the main factor... in Science Fiction, for instance. For many many years the Science Fiction genre was spurned by the literati, not taught in schools, and still remained popular. Classics in that genre are based on what the readers loved, and editors of certain Science Fiction magazines... what they chose. They were the main voices, and they are mostly what made anything popular, or into a Science Fiction classic. In this case, whether it is still in print probably comes in to play as well. :)

Factors with other books... some people think that a book is a classic just because it does something different, or because it "dares" to challenge social or moral boundaries. Professors make books into "classics" by requiring them to be read in class... that forces more books off the shelves, keeps a book in print, and makes it well-known if it is more than just one professor for one class. Because professors have rank, and in some ways rank themselves by where they teach, the most powerful and influential professors are going to be at some of the most powerful and prestigious schools, and those influence others. In turn, those professors influence teachers at elementary and secondary schools. Publishing companies and critics also take a place here, suggesting what should be read, and what other people are reading.

In general, someone just decides what he or she thinks is a classic, and starts writing about it. If other people believe, then it could make a list somewhere, and then it could make it to a reading list that you have to read. If you agree as well, then you will perpetuate that belief to others. ... It's like a book popularity contest. :)

A classic book is one which has been popular for many years and is held up as a positive example of its genre. The term can be applied to works of fiction or fact books. There is always debate on some books which are called classic by their supporters and trash by their detractors, but like wine tasting, the prolific reader will develop a skill in identifying classic on his own.

Ali Baba (Arabic: علي بابا) is a fictional character based in Ancient Arabia. He is described in the adventure tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, part of The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights).

However, Richard F. Burton claimed it to be part of the original Book of One Thousand and One Nights. This story has also been used as a popular pantomime plot
