These books have inspired, enriched and guided many lives. Through the knowledge imparted to us in these books, we are able to understand various aspects of life and the world at large. In their books, they have viewed life from different perspectives and presented to us their philosophy.Right from Homer to the present age, there have been numerous authors who have not only provided knowledge but also shared their experiences and enhanced the quality of life. They are our invisible guides, mentors and, of course, friends. It is impossible for a book to contain all great authors. Therefore, only twenty great authors have been selected.
