Literature

Literature refers to written works, especially those considered to have artistic or intellectual value. It encompasses a wide range of forms, including novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and essays. Literature often explores themes of human experience, society, culture, and emotion, employing various styles and techniques to convey meaning and evoke responses from readers. It serves not only as a record of language and thought but also as a medium for storytelling and expression of ideas. Literature can be both fictional and non-fictional, and it varies across cultures and historical periods, reflecting the values, beliefs, and complexities of the human condition.
