Reading the Giant

Description
Book Introduction
Improve your literacy, English skills, and life wisdom with quotes from giants!
In an era where more than half of Korean adults don't read a single book a year, declining literacy is no longer an individual problem; it is becoming a social crisis.
The 'literacy deficit' of not being able to understand the meaning of a text even after reading it is at the root of various social problems such as reduced work ability, distorted communication, incitement, and fraud.
What is more serious is that the generation with lower literacy levels falls into a vicious cycle of becoming more distant from reading without even realizing it.
The book 『Reading the Giant』 was designed to break this vicious cycle.
"Reading Giants" is a collection of 1,400 quotes from great figures across time and generations, from Aristotle to Jensen Huang.
This book provides translations of famous quotes along with the original English text.
In particular, the English original text is very helpful for learning English because it contains at least one of the 1,400 most frequently used core words in English.
By carefully reading each and every word of the English quotes in this book, you will learn the nuances and practical uses of the words, while also learning wisdom that will enrich your life.
This book, which cultivates the most essential skills for studying English, literacy, and even life, will serve as a new starting point even for those who have avoided reading.

Publisher's Review
Improve your literacy, improve your English, and gain life wisdom in just one book!
We are now facing a serious challenge of our time: the 'literacy crisis.'
According to research, more than half of adults don't read a single book a year.
Beyond simply a decline in reading volume, the phenomenon of 'decline in literacy', where people read but cannot understand the meaning, is spreading throughout society.
Lack of literacy not only impoverishes individual lives, it also contributes to social problems such as reduced job performance, distorted communication, and deception and fraud.
The biggest problem is that the lower the literacy level, the less likely it is that people will recognize it themselves.
In other words, you will fall into a vicious cycle.
In this reality, 『Reading the Giant』 was born to break this vicious cycle.
From Aristotle to Jensen Huang, this book contains 1,400 quotes from giants who have shaped human thought and civilization across time and generations.
The quotes of giants may be short, but they contain decades of experience and insight.
Especially when we read quotes in English, we don't just encounter the wisdom of words; we naturally learn English words and expressions and gain a broader perspective on life.
『Reading the Giant』 is a very useful book that allows you to experience studying English and life at the same time.
This book was planned under three principles.
First, we lower the barrier to entry so that anyone can get their hands on it without any burden.
Even people who are not accustomed to reading should be able to open a book easily.
Second, it contains content that allows you to feel the immediate effects of reading as soon as you read it.
It should be insightful and easy to read.
Third, the more you read it, the more it should inspire and arouse admiration, and provide intellectual shock and stimulation.
As a result, 『Reading the Giant』 was born.
This book is not a complex and difficult theoretical book, but rather a collection of famous quotes from giants, making it easily accessible even to those unfamiliar with reading.
Additionally, you can enjoy the immediate effects of reading it, as it contains quotes from giants that open new horizons of thought with just a single sentence.
Moreover, the more you read the insights of the giants, the more they inspire admiration and inspiration.
Through this, readers will be able to obtain intellectual shock and stimulation.
"Reading the Giant" was completed after a rigorous process of identifying and reviewing over 100,000 English quotations over the course of over a year.
From that vast collection of quotes, we've selected the most representative quotes of the era, and carefully selected only sentences that contain at least one of the 1,400 most frequently used English words.
So, by reading the giant's quotes, you can naturally acquire English words and learn how to use them in context.
This book has been designed to be optimized for use in transcription.
I tried to place as much space as possible between quotes.
If you have any thoughts of your own that come to mind while reading or reciting the quotes, you can immediately write down your own thoughts, feelings, and insights in the margins of the book.
Also, if you have a quote that inspires you and inspires you as you read, I recommend folding or highlighting the page containing the quote and then copying it into a notebook.
In this way, the notebook filled with my own famous quotes will be reborn as my own new book.
For those who have grown distant from books, "Reading the Giant" will be the first gateway to reading, and for those already accustomed to reading, it will be a treasure trove of wisdom that will enrich their lives.
It can also be used as a practical textbook for studying English, or as a life guide to calm your mind as you start your day.
Ultimately, this book will enable you to rebuild your lost literacy skills, improve your English skills, and live a better life.
If we dream of a better society, the growth of each individual must be a prerequisite.
Growth comes from acquiring knowledge and wisdom, and reading is the most proven way to achieve growth.
This book will help you read properly using proven methods.
I sincerely hope that readers will learn English and life through this book, and ultimately live better lives.
