Welcome to the Hillsdale College Great Books Collection

"From Homer to Chaucer, Austen to Dostoevsky, Dickinson to Miller--these works can be mesmerizing, exhilarating, infuriating, and will become like old friends. What I wouldn't give to be able to read them again for the first time--such wonder and joy. And yet even after the hundredth read, I'm always learning something new from these inexhaustible teachers."
