Classics are those books which constitute experiences, thoughts and ideas of great writers. These books deal with universal ideas which provide great insights and vision. Besides imprinting themselves on the imagination of the readers, these books preserve the collective unconscious.”A Classic,” according to Italo Calvino, “is a work which constantly generates a pulviscular cloud of critical discourse around it, but which always shakes the particles off.” The writer expresses his views on the reading of classics in the book titled Why Read the Classics? The discourse of Classics resonates with universal issues. The reading of Classics gives a deeper understanding of our own times. The topographical epic about a city /person makes diverse issues visible. The classics penned by eminent authors and personalities imply continuance and consistence. The reading of such texts is of great significance to the young people as they get enlightened about various issues. This knowledge is also beneficial for the understanding of the contemporary times.
