  Reading literature is easier than writing a book about it. Aside from genuinely appreciating the works, having extensive resources also come in handy in this feat. In the end authors endeavored to fulfill their personal desire to include their favorites without shortchanging the presentation quality of the collected materials.

     This book has three parts, namely: (1) Getting Ready for Literature; (2) Exploring the Literary Treasures of the Philippine Islands; and (3) Literary Masterworks of the World.

     The first chapter of the first part discusses the primary requirement of understanding literature - appreciation. Then the next chapter presents literature's various forms and genres. Poetry in particular is given emphasis in the third chapter while its appreciation and analysis is discussed in the fourth. Works of fiction is presented in the fifth chapter followed by its analysis and appreciation. Drama and Essays are consecutively presented in the final chapters of the first part.

     The second part of this book presents the literary treasures of our people, the Filipinos with sample works from the earliest folktales up to some contemporary works of local writers.
