Curriculum Overview
“Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple
reason that a single book is not. A book is not
an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations.
One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not
so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.”
- Jorge
Luis Borges
