le Garzantine - Letteratura

Description

Spanning from Homer to Dan Brown, the app “le Garzantine – Letteratura” is the most comprehensive encyclopedia of the literature of every period and all countries, and an up-to-date tool to discover worldwide authors and works from the beginning to the present day. You will find every information about poets and novelists, movements and currents - from baroque to futurism - genres from science-fiction to thriller, together with rhetorical figures, basical metrics, the summary of 600 masterpieces (from Dante's Comedy to Anna Karenina, from Hamlet to Moby Dick), and the winners of the most famous literary awards, including the Nobel prize.

The app's interface has been redesigned to provide a simpler and more intuitive experience. You can swipe the definitions to the right to return to the search results and improve the readability by pinching the text with two fingers to zoom in and out. In addition, you can tap on any word within the definitions and look it up directly in the dictionary without having to type it into the search box. A main menu that can be activated via an icon available at the top right of the screen enables all the features of the app:

• Index search: displays in alphabetical order the headwords that match the characters typed in the search box
• Advanced search: lets you search for entries, and in full text
