If you are into history and you like it more when it is presented to you through literature, then Techvoy is your place because in this single portal, you will get books on history and on art, but not in the usual fashion—sometimes it is made interesting by making the format a Q & A one, and sometimes history intermixes with fiction to give you a taste of both. So, this is a win-win situation for you—you are getting to read great fiction as well as learn history, thus enhancing your knowledge with fun.
You can start with Orlando by Virginia Woolf, which is claimed to be the ‘longest and most charming love letter in literature’. It presents a picture of the Elizabethan England and while portraying the conditions of women in that age indulge in great amount of farce and satire. This was, as we know, inspired by Woolf’s relationship with Vita Sackville-West, and thus what you get in the novel is an admixture of autobiographical fiction, historical fiction and pure history of England and Constantinople between the 16th and the 20th centuries.
Techvoy’s oeuvre does not get exhausted with fiction, but it has books that examines different art forms, for example it examines the role of the greatest Jazz artists in Why Jazz? by Kevin Whitehead. In Writing in Pictures, Joseph McBride lets you through the art of screen writing, which is bound to enrich your knowledge in the genre.
