Product Description

This CD is based on the table of contents of the Harvard Classics (R) set of books AKA Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf (a 51-volume collection of great works) first published in 1909 plus the Harvard Classics (R) Shelf of Fiction (a separate 20-volume collection) first published in 1917. Both those collections were edited by Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot (1834-1926). This CD contains electronic versions of the great majority, but not all of the works selected by Dr. Eliot. Books originally written in languages other than English appear here in English translation, but often not the same translations as the original. The Table of Contents shows the organization by volume of the original Harvard Classics (R) collection. The folders/directories are organized by author. All these books are in plain text format.

The Harvard Classics (R) a Registered Trademark of the President and Fellows of Harvard College.

Intended for use with PCs (Windows or Linux) and recent Macs (OS X), our books are in plain-text format, not audio or video. You read them on your computer screen.

You can see the complete table of contents below -- listing all the works included on this CD.
