On the first day of the "Around the World in 80 Books" week in Cairo, a Cairene group extended our visit by developing a beautiful website to welcome everyone to Cairo. The site features a group of mesmerizing short selections from never-before-translated stories and poems:

For further explorations in world literature, there's an excellent free online series, "[Invitation to World Literature](https://www.learner.org/series/invitation-to-world-literature/)," produced by WGBH in Boston for the Annenberg Foundation. The series consists of 13 half-hour episode, each devoted to a major literary work, from *The Epic of Gilgamesh* to Orhan Pamuk's *My Name Is Red*, and includes interviews with scholars, artists, and writers, and resources for further exploration of each work.

An online course, by David Damrosch and Martin Puchner, is [Masterpieces of World Literature](https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/masterpieces-of-world-literature?delta=2), on the HarvardX platform. It also cinsists of 13 episodes (some also treated in the WGBH series, others different) which can be audited for free, or taken as a certificate-bearing course. Each episode features Damrosch and Puchner in conversation about the week's work, together with interviews with other Harvard faculty and students, and further resources for study.
