Erewhon, an anagram for “nowhere,” is a faraway land where citizens follow a unique set of rules disregarding conventional beliefs about money, health and science. Beneath the surface, Erewhon is fueled by hypocrisy and inhabitants are riddled with fear.

A traveler stumbles across a remote country that appears to be a peaceful paradise. It’s a utopian society that doesn’t use or value money in a traditional way. Criminals are considered sick and treated as patients, while the ill are imprisoned and labeled as criminals. There’s also an overwhelming distrust of machines, which are outlawed due to their potential to evolve and overthrow their masters. Erewhon’s superficial qualities grow to become a source of contempt and distrust.

Erewhon illustrates a world where an attempt to correct the ills of society causes more harm than good. It’s a profound examination of Victorian ethics, benefiting a minority over the majority. Butler’s groundbreaking novel has significantly influenced multiple writers in literature and beyond.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Erewhon is both modern and readable.

Selected Poems (1923) is a collection of poems by American poet Robert Frost. Dedicated to Edward Thomas, a friend of Frost’s and an important English poet who died toward the end of the First World War, Selected Poems is a wonderful sampling of poems from Frost’s early collections, including A Boy’s Will and North of Boston. Known for his plainspoken language and dedication to the images and rhythms of rural New England, Robert Frost is one of America’s most iconic poets, a voice to whom generations of readers have turned in search of beauty, music, and life.

“Mowing” envisions the poet’s work through the prism of rural labor. “There was never a sound beside the wood but one / And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground. / What was it it whispered?” The speaker does not know, but continues his task, hypnotized by its rhythm and simple music. In “After Apple-Picking,” as fall gives over to winter, the poet remembers in dreams how the “Magnified apples appear and disappear, / Stem end and blossom end” as he climbs the ladder into the heart of the tree. Both a symbol for life and a metaphor for the poetic act, apple picking leaves the poet “overtired / Of the great harvest [he himself] desired”, awaiting sleep as he describes “its coming on,” wondering what, if anything, it will bring. “The Road Not Taken,” perhaps Frost’s most famous poem, is a meditation on fate and free will that follows a traveler in an autumn landscape, unsure of which path to take, but certain he cannot stand still.

This edition of Robert Frost’s Selected Poems is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Using architecture, sculpture, culture and history, Adams humanizes the medieval period and provides valuable insight on religious philosophy. Mont-Saint Michel and Chartes provides a background and description of the construction of two French landmarks built in the 11th century. The Mont-Saint Michel cathedral was built during a militant time; it was not enough to simply be steadfast in one’s own beliefs, but also to make others believe them. Religious conversion was a form of defense. Mont-Saint Michel was built in a period where faith was aggressive, almost violent, and to accommodate this, Mont-Saint Michel was built in honor of a warrior angel. In contrast, the Chartes cathedral, another French monument built in the Gothic period, was built as a shrine to Mary, the mother of God. Using Mary’s image and inspiration, this church set a welcoming tone. While the cathedral of Mont-Saint Michel represents a more aggressive side of faith, the cathedral of Chartes is the embodiment of love and peace. In the same way that this contrast exists between the two cathedrals, a similar duality is present in the Christian faith. It is both a safe haven and a weapon wielded by the religious in order to conform others to their faith. Through descriptions and comparisons between Mont-Saint Michel and Chartes, Adams provides thoughtful reflection on both Christianity and the magnificent structures of the Gothic period.

Mont-Saint Michel and Chartes by Henry Adamsis a subjective and personal view on history written in beautiful prose. With the stories behind two grand French cathedrals, Mont-Saint Michel and Chartes explore themes of Christianity, gender, and medieval culture with eloquent and enlightened discourse on history and the politics within Christianity.

Now in a modern, readable font and new, striking cover design, Mont-Saint Michel and Chartes by the prolific American author and philosopher, Henry Adams provides meaningful meditation on the duality of religion and insight on the French Gothic period.

First appearing in 1845 The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, with its painfully vivid depiction of life in bondage, was both a bestseller in its day and one of the most powerful, authoritative texts lending support to the abolitionist movement.

The author traces his life from an infant born into slavery and taken from his mother at birth, to a displaced child hungry for knowledge, to an abused and beaten laborer seeking freedom and a chance to marry the woman he loved. Offering bright, cameo glimpses into a world that should not be forgotten, Douglass chronicles both the cruel violence of a system that saw him as little more than livestock, and the brighter moments of success, of courageous support from friends and allies. Initially greeted by some with doubt that it could have been written by a black man and former slave, the book had a profound effect on American society, making the author something of a celebrity and his cause less an abstract ideal and more of an urgent human concern. Solemn, powerful and passionate The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is more than an important historical document—it is a personal account of striving for human freedom in a world where the author was regarded as neither free nor human.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is both modern and readable.

The Essays (1625) is a collection of writings by Francis Bacon, one of England’s most prominent philosophers and scientists whose work was central to shaping the ideals of the Renaissance and scientific revolution. Although Bacon is remembered today as the father of modern science, this collection contains his thoughts on mostly moral and civil matters, highlighting his immense skill as a philosopher and statesman.

Filled with references to and quotes from such biblical and classical sources as Seneca, Epicurus, Solomon, David, and Caesar—to name only a few—Bacon grounds his work in the rich continuum of human history, religion, and philosophy. In “Of Death,” he compares the human fear of death to a child’s fear of the dark to argue that it is an essential and natural aspect of human life. In “Of Revenge,” Bacon weighs the consequences of vindictiveness against the merciful necessity of forgiveness. In “Of Goodness and Goodness of Nature,” Bacon differentiates between the innate goodness of humanity and the glaring need for the cultivation of goodness as a habit in human society. These are only some of the subjects Bacon approaches with his hallmark rational and concise style. Others include the relationship between parents and children, the nature of superstition, and the need to privilege utility over style in homebuilding. Overall, The Essays is both a wide-ranging meditation on daily and eternal matters of human existence and a fascinating look at the particulars of life in Renaissance England.

Completed only a year before his death, The Essays is one of Francis Bacon’s most accessible works, as well as a fitting culmination of a life and career dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. This text illuminates for us the thoughts and feelings of one of history’s finest intellectuals, a man whose ideas continue to shape our world and the way we see it over four centuries later.

This edition of The Essays by Francis Bacon is a classic of English literature and philosophy reimagined for modern readers.

Agatha Christie’s deft skill in plotting is on full display in the first adventure of Tommy and Tuppence, with seemingly disconnected events revealing a complex web of intrigue. Behind the plot is a formidable foe, a mysterious figure whose identity seems impossible to determine and whose plans include murder.

Tommy Beresford and "Tuppence" Cowley’s new firm, Young Adventurers Ltd opens for business only to have their first customer drop out of sight at the mere mention of a name. Careful investigation reveals connections between a missing survivor of the torpedoed Lusitania, documents highly compromising to the British government and a potentially catastrophic plot masterminded by a very dangerous man whose identity is known to no one living. The novel first appeared in 1922 and was greeted by reviews marveling at the author’s masterful concealment of the villain’s identity, some going as far as to say that unless the reader peeked at the final few pages there was no way to know it, making this a truly secret adversary. Appearing as silent movie in 1928 this was the first of the author’s novels to be made into a film. Although overshadowed by Christie’s better known sleuths, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence were her favorite creations and her enthusiasm for the couple and their adventures is transparent on the page.

Sweeping across African American history and culture in the shadow of slavery and ongoing racism, The Souls of Black Folk laid bare challenging issues sadly still relevant more than 100 years after its first publication.

This collection of 14 essays is a cornerstone work of African-American literature. The author examines history and the social conditions of his era, balancing his observations with philosophical asides and autobiographical insights. He describes the central issue of the 20th century as “the problem of the color line"" --a divide both visible and invisible, a veil between blacks and the white world that needs to be broken through before those on either side of it can truly know one another. He describes the tension arising from being both black and American as a dual consciousness, a unique identity which had long been a disadvantage but could conceivably become a source of strength. First published in 1903, this profoundly influential text is an acclamation of human rights, a condemnation of the systems that infringe upon them, and one of the most significant books to contribute to the cause of racial equality in US history.

“The first poetess of romantic fiction.”-Sir Walter Scott

““Mrs. Radcliffe is a mistress of hints, suggestions, minute details, breathless pauses, and the hush of suspense.” —The New York Times

“Compared to Udolpho, Montoni’s mountain hideaway, Castle Dracula is a country day school.” —Barbara Walker

Ann Radcliff’s Mysteries of Udolpho, one of the most famous English gothic novels ever published, was a significant influence on later authors including Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe, and Jane Austen. In combining the supernatural elements of the gothic genre with a deep sensitivity of emotion, this work reveals the height of Radcliffe’s powers as a writer.

Living a picturesque life in rural Late-16th Century France, Emily St. Aubert, the novel’s beautiful and sensitive protagonist becomes an orphan when both of her parents die. Adopted by her unaffectionate aunt Madame Cheron, Emily is ultimately imprisoned by Cheron and her cruel husband, the Italian nobleman Signor Montoni. The natural beauty of her life as a young girl in France is contrasted with the seclusion in the eponymous castle where Montoni’s controlling manipulations spin her life into a state of unknowable terror. The hair-raising and strange events that occur within the confines of the dreadful fortress are among the most bone-chilling in all of literature.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Mysteries of Udolpho is both modern and readable.

“No plainer manifestation of the modernist trend in contemporary English fiction may be found than in Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room”-The New York Times

“I have seldom read a cleverer book…it is exquisitely written, but the characters do not vitally survive in the mind because the author has been obsessed by details of originality and cleverness.”-Arnold Bennett

Virginia Woolf’s third novel, Jacob’s Room (1922), is a penetrating look at one man’s life from childhood until his untimely death in the first World War. On the surface, this could be considered an anti-war novel, yet it is a wildly inventive experimental work that dispels traditional forms of narration. The nebulous central character, Jacob Flanders, is strangely is absent from the novel, yet the spaces he traversed are not. In telling the story of Jacob through the perspective of the characters he encountered through his short life, Woolf has created an exceptional contemplation of memory, time, and identity. Subverting the bildungsroman genre, Jacob’s Room recounts a short and unsettled life through related incidents, fleeting impression, and delirious stream-of-conscience passages.

Through an almost cinematic lens, glimpses of Jacob’s early life are recollected through his mother; the idyllic time spent with her children and her uneasy experiences living a widower’s life. Through other voices, Jacob arrives at Cambridge, where he is able to socially integrate despite his humble upbringings. After graduating, he leaves for London, where he interacts with a wide range of individuals, both impoverished and from the wealthy class; yet he never fully connects to a meaningful human relationship. Jacob, questioning whether he is a failure, decides to leave London and travels to Greece. Fortunes abroad turn precarious, and he returns to London only to be sent off to the war, where he is killed in action. As E.M. Forester remarked at the publication of Jacob’s Room, “A new type of fiction has swum into view.” Woolf has created a transformative reading experience conveying the emptiness of one individual’s life by leaving out the traditional elements of plot and character, yet she manages to question the ways we fail to see each other as we actually are.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jacob’s Room is both modern and readable.

Taken aboard the submarine Nautilus by Captain Nemo, the narrator and his companions find themselves captives on a spectacular tour of the world’s oceans, and witnesses to Nemo’s increasingly obsessive hatred of the surface world.

Professor Pierre Aronnax was rescued from drowning by Captain Nemo, who insists that in order to protect the secret of his submarine, Aronnax must stay on board the Nautilus for the rest of his life. They explore the oceans, with the inspired author guiding them through a terrific array of undersea wonders, some based on reality and others wholly imagined. Giving his lush imagination free rein Verne describes his characters encountering sunken ships, Antarctic ice, and the drowned city of Atlantis, spicing the action with an unforgettable battle with giant squid. Though it all Aronnax notes Captain Nemo’s hatred for the nations of the surface world, which builds until it borders on madness and Aronnax and his companions realize that they must find a way to escape. First appearing in 1870, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was an immediate success and has remained one of the author’s most esteemed works ever since. Celebrated for its prescient treatment of the submarine, the novel has also been steadily re-examined by critics who have found political, social and ecological subtexts in the book. Readers will find, as they have for 150 years, a richly engaging adventure story full of thrills, inventiveness and wonder.

An embattled inheritance, accusations of madness, scheming villainy and much more tie into the labyrinthine plot of one of the most celebrated and sensational novels of the Victorian era.”

A young man just beginning a new job in London meets with a strange woman on a moonlit road, offers her assistance getting into the city and then finds she may have just escaped an asylum.

Modern readers will be grateful to have the entire text at hand as the author’s remarkable storytelling skills retain their power to ensnare, enchant and keep the pages turning toward the unpredictable conclusion.

“Agatha Christie must surely be the most imitated author in the entire canon of literature – what greater acclaim could there be?” -Peter James

Paul Renauld sends for Hercule Poirot, who arrives to find his host dead in a newly dug grave. Can the master sleuth sort through a bewildering array of clues and outfox an unfriendly police officer to find the almost perfectly hidden identity of the murderer?

Agatha Christie’s legendary sleuth Hercule Poirot returns only to find his would-be employer slain, too many suspects, and his refined investigative technique dismissed by the detective leading the local police investigation. The two butt heads, competing to solve the crime until a second corpse turns up, slain in the exact same fashion as the first. It takes Poirot’s razor-keen insight and deep knowledge of the history of crime to tie both killings to another as he brilliantly works toward an unexpected conclusion. Upon its original publication in 1923, the novel was greeted with great acclaim as a superbly structured mystery that was all but certain to baffle readers. This, the second investigation of Hercule Poirot, follows The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which is also available from Mint Editions.

The Art of War is the collection of leadership and military strategies composed by the esteemed Chinese general, Sun Tzu. Divided into 13 distinct chapters, each category gives clarity and voice to varying subjects pertaining to the intricacies of war and wartime strategy.

With proverbs as popular as the one above, the entirety of his work is composed of this level of insight. As pertinent as it was when it was written over 2,000 year ago, The Art of War is a true work of philosophical mastery.

Little Women is the triumphant novel by Louisa May Alcott that has inspired nearly all who’ve read it. The inspiration for several major motion pictures, miniseries, plays, and more, discover the fantastical adventures set about by the memorable March sisters the world has come to love.

Little Women tells the story of the four March sisters as they establish themselves through the various circumstances that life throws their way. There is Margaret “Meg” March, the eldest and commonly referred to as the most beautiful sister; Josephine “Jo” March, the main character of the story as well as the most strong and willful of the four; Elizabeth “Beth” March, the quiet and musical sister; and finally Amy, the youngest and most artistic. Growing up in a modest household, the priority for the March sisters was always to behave; the sisters were told to be kind and give back and to cast aside their own desires for the betterment of others. As the girls grow up however, each of the sisters discover that life doesn't always play by the rules, and sometimes, it just might be better to break them.

It’s no wonder Little Women is as celebrated today as it was in the 19th century; it is a powerful literary reminder that gender is not what counts when it comes to making a difference in the world.

Now a major motion picture by award winning director Greta Gerwig, delight in the story that has captured the hearts of so many readers.

When man petitions the heavens, is it God or the devil who answers? This question, central to the human experience, is the driving force behind Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s seminal 1806 play, Faust.

Based loosely on the facts and dramatized retellings of 15th century alchemist, astrologer, and magician Johann Georg Faust, the play follows Faust’s search for limitless understanding and wisdom through magical means outside the realms of science and religion. The devil, keen to prove to God that he can lead one his servants away from righteous pursuits, presents himself to Faust as the enigmatic Mephistopheles and offers him a bargain: He will serve Faust in life, but in return Faust must serve him in death. Goethe, not satisfied with joining in the long tradition of ‘deal with the devil’ stories, augments his telling by arriving at the distinctly modern conclusion that “He who strives on and lives to strive / Can earn redemption still.” In the end, Faust is not punished for his drive to know more but rewarded for his unwavering spirit even in the face of hardship, horror, and the knowledge that no single moment can bring eternal bliss.

In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.

Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.

The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) is a masterwork of emotional complexity, heartbreak, and redemption by celebrated English author Thomas Hardy.

Drunk and outraged, Michael Henchard auctions off his own wife and daughter for five guineas. The following morning, he searches for his family to no avail and, with the clarity of sobriety, swears off liquor for the next 21 years. In that time, he becomes a successful grain merchant and the titular Mayor of Casterbridge, all the while keeping the shameful truth of his family’s disappearance under strict secrecy. Through Henchard, Thomas Hardy paints with compassion a picture of a man whose virtues run as deep as his faults. Ultimately, the past refuses to stay buried, and with the return of his wife and child, Henchard must manage his public image as the mayor of a quiet and close knit Dorsetshire town with the weight of familial responsibility, honor, and truth.

"A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of Communism." The Communist Manifesto (1848) is one of the most important pieces of political writing in modern history, sparking outrage, revolution, and controversy since its initial publication in 1848.

In the text, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels begin by laying out the different classes of people within society and how those classes interact with one another. They stress the exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class and the consequences of that exploitation. The Manifesto concludes with a call to direct action, urging the masses of workers to rise up in revolution and seize the means of production. In their view, this revolution is the only path forward to create a just society.

The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) is widely regarded as the most significant work of legendary neurologist Sigmund Freud. In the text, Freud unravels the mysteries of the psyche by unpacking the signs and symbols of the dream world.

His analysis rests on a two-part model of dreams: one part which plants subconscious desires within the dream and another part which censors those desires and distorts them into incomprehensible expressions. It is then up to the patient and the psychoanalyst to parse out the seemingly incoherent images and reconstruct them into something meaningful. Since its publication, the text has proven divisive amongst the scientific community, with some arguing that the dreams provided in the text refute Freud’s own theories. Regardless, Freud’s writings are a fascinating look into amongst humanity’s most enduring mysteries.

Aiming to bring the legendary story to a new audience, Samuel Butler eschewed the traditional poetical style in favor of a prose translation more akin to that used in the 18th and 19th centuries without losing any of the beauty of the original. The narrative details the fall of Troy and the many tragedies that befall both sides of the war. Heroes clash in sweeping and brutal battle as the Gods watch on in delight, Kings rise and fall by their honor-bound mandates while their men toil in the mundanity of war, and lovers die desperately trying to turn the tides of fate. The Iliad is a meditation on fate, honor, and heroism, painting a world in which the chaos of humanity’s clashing vanities means something greater to not only ourselves, but the Gods above.

When man petitions the heavens, is it God or the devil who answers? This question, central to the human experience, is the driving force behind Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s seminal 1806 play, Faust.

Based loosely on the facts and dramatized retellings of 15th century alchemist, astrologer, and magician Johann Georg Faust, the play follows Faust’s search for limitless understanding and wisdom through magical means outside the realms of science and religion. The devil, keen to prove to God that he can lead one his servants away from righteous pursuits, presents himself to Faust as the enigmatic Mephistopheles and offers him a bargain: He will serve Faust in life, but in return Faust must serve him in death. Goethe, not satisfied with joining in the long tradition of ‘deal with the devil’ stories, augments his telling by arriving at the distinctly modern conclusion that “He who strives on and lives to strive / Can earn redemption still.” In the end, Faust is not punished for his drive to know more but rewarded for his unwavering spirit even in the face of hardship, horror, and the knowledge that no single moment can bring eternal bliss.

In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.

Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.

Murder at the Vicarage (1930) is legendary mystery author Agatha Christie's 10th novel and the introduction of the indomitable Miss Marple. The novel opens with wealthy and abrasive Colonel Lucius Protheroe found dead, slumped over the writing desk in his study, plunging the quiet village of St Mary Mead is into chaos.

The authorities are unable to piece together the evidence, with multiple people offering confessions that are determined to be dubious and circumstantial evidence pointing in a thousand different directions, none of which prove fruitful. In this desperate time, an unlikely sleuth arises: the old spinster Miss Marple. Her methods of crime solving are unconventional by genre standards, eschewing steely logic for her keen instinct towards human nature and her decades’ long experience with the village and its inhabitants to sus out the true killer. Christie would go on to write eleven more Miss Marple stories, further honing the unabashed spinster’s sharp tongue and even sharper wit. The series acts as a necessary counterpoint to the cold logic of Detective Poirot, with Miss Marple showing that true justice is not only found through cold hard facts, but also through intuition, personal insight, and pattern recognition that can only be honed through years of lived experience.

The mystery that sparked an international mystery phenomenon! This original edition of The Secret of the Old Clock (1930) introduces readers to the assertive and spunky Nancy Drew, complete with her golden hair and spunky attitude that would be retroactively toned down after the departure of Mildred Benson, the original author behind the famous Carolyn Keene pseudonym.

Nancy is a young sleuth whose investigative skills can be attributed both to her natural inclination to push the boundaries and her father’s long-time employment as a high-profile criminal defense lawyer. In this first adventure, she is inspired to assist the Turners, a down-on-their-luck family who would be in line for the fortune of the recently deceased Josiah Crowley, if only they could find the will. Nancy soon discovers that the Topham family, currently next in line for the fortune, is most likely hiding the true will inside an old clock in their mansion. The investigation leads to Nancy's capture by burglars and escape through the middle of a deadly cops-and-robbers shootout. Although dangerous, this adventure does not deter her, and she continues on her investigations and good works in the over 600 Nancy Drew books published across 13 series.

The Mysterious Mr. Quin (1930) is a collection short stories by legendary British writer Agatha Christie. In this strange series of mysteries, the elderly socialite Mr. Satterthwaite finds himself in the midst of disappearances, deceit, and even murder.

Just as every mystery presented reaches a point of inscrutability, the enigmatic Mr. Quin appears seemingly out of nowhere to offer crucial advice that always breaks the case. When the dust settles, Mr. Quin disappears as mysteriously as he came, not to appear again until Mr. Satterthwaite stumbles predictably into another enigma. In the 12 stories included, Christie finds an outlet for her more imaginative and fanciful side, escaping briefly from the cold logic of Detective Poirot and the civil drama of Miss Marple to dabble in the absurd and often magical genius of Mr. Quin.

Why am I so unhappy? That question, which has paradoxically plagued modern society more and more as the standard of living increases, is at the heart of Bertrand Russell’s practical and philosophical guide, The Conquest of Happiness (1930).

The book is divided into two parts. In the first, Russell breaks down what he sees as the various causes of unhappiness. The focus of the text is on philosophical concepts like envy, boredom, competition, and fear, rather than material causes of unhappiness. Russell then moves into part two, where he offers practical strategies for attaining happiness which include acute self-awareness, strong self-discipline, and healthy relationships with friends, family, and the community. By focusing on philosophical and time-tested means of realizing and maintaining happiness and satisfaction, Russell has created a guide that is as useful to readers in the modern day as it was to those in 1930.

The 42nd Parallel (1930) is an experimental work of fictional realism, history, and stream of consciousness that utilizes a myriad of literary devices to create the first true collective novel.

It is the first book in the much-lauded U.S.A. trilogy, in which author John Dos Passos sets out to capture the turbulent essence of the early 20th century through twelve characters all struggling to find their place within American society. These stories are told through four main literary modes: traditional fictional narratives, newspaper clippings and song lyrics, short biographical sections of contemporary public figures, and autobiographical stream of consciousness. These elements come together to form a narrative that is as sprawling as it is cohesive, with Dos Passos refusing to single out way of living that makes a person wholly American. While never in a straight line, all of the characters and narratives presented in this first entry continue to develop throughout the other two books in the trilogy, Nineteen Nineteen (1932) and The Big Money (1936).

After being released from prison in 1901 at the age of 57, Younger took it upon himself to record the deeds of his life, starting with his humble upbringings on the Younger Family Farm and the tragic loss of his father at the hands of a Union soldier (despite his father being a Union supporter himself). The increasing violence of the Civil War combined with young Cole's desire for revenge lead him to leave home and join up with a guerilla band marshalled by William Clark Quintrell. Quintrell's band, along with many of the other "bushwhackers" of the era, operate in relative freedom to raid and retaliate in the chaos that defined the Civil War in the southern states. With the end of the war, Younger and his brothers seamlessly shift from a soldier's life to an outlaw's, specializing in train, bank, and stagecoach robbery. The gang gains notoriety with each crime committed, although Younger is careful to frame these acts not as born of wanton violence or greed, but from a drive to deliver justice for the Union's destruction of Missouri and the suffering of Confederate loyalists. The gang's deeds would culminate in their attempted robbery of The First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota, which is thwarted thanks to resistance from the local population. In the violence that ensued, many gang members were killed while Younger and his brother were wounded and sentenced to life in prison. Life on the inside softens Younger, who writes of himself as a model inmate and uses the time to reflect and eventually decide to write his story down, "to clear up the record." Following his release from prison, Younger capitalized on his reputation by joining Wild West shows and speaking publicly about his experience as a soldier and, to a lesser extent, as an outlaw. Despite repenting his deeds and converting to Christianity at the end of his life, Younger's deeds live on as a central building block of the Wild West and post-Civil War mythos.

Billy Budd is the final novel from legendary author Herman Melville. Published posthumously almost thirty years after his death, the novel is renowned for its richness of character and its thematic ambiguity.

Melville couches his tale of morality inside an exciting nautical adventure set during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars. The novel follows the titular Billy Budd, a handsome and charismatic sailor conscripted aboard a British Man 'O War named Bellipotent. When one of the senior officers accuses him falsely of mutiny, Budd lashes out and strikes the officer dead in one blow. In the court martial that ensues, the crew struggles to find a just solution to the problem of Billy Budd. On one hand, he has killed a senior officer, and naval law dictates his own life be given in return. On the other, the charges of mutiny originally leveled against him are clearly false and begin a dialogue that calls into question the absolute morality of the law. An unprecedented accomplishment for its time, Melville's utilization of his rich characters to explore morality, political power, and justice levels a potent critique of institutional power that continues to resonate with readers today.

First on the list of the Wall Street Journal's "10 Books that Every Golfer Needs," The Mystery of Golf, is a seminal text for golfers and non-golfers alike. Haultain's focus on expected outcome verses earned results not only showcases the physical and psychological difficulties of golf but also makes his method eminently applicable to anyone who desires to excel at any skill that requires dedicated practice.

Haultain centers his musings on the frailty of the human body when presented with the stress of physical and mental exertion. In a sport like golf, which Haultain describes as pitting, "yourself against the world,” body and mind become the athlete's premier competitor and are often at odds with one another. Haultain delves deep into this disconnect, leading the reader along the balancing act between assumed potential and real achievement that is central to every world-class golfer's psychology. He does not, however, get lost in the particulars, frequently explaining how his lessons from the golf course can be applied to daily life. In that way, Haultain's essays have become an evergreen source of inspiration and knowledge for golfers and anyone else who wishes to master their mindset and learn new skills.

Last and First Men (1930) is the ambitious and shockingly prescient debut novel from science fiction pioneer Olaf Stapledon. Since its publication, the narrative has influenced such titans of speculative fiction as C.S. Lewis, Arthur C. Clarke, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Best categorized as a “future history,” the novel chronicles the history of humanity from the present onwards across two billion years. Eighteen unique human species are described, their civilizations rising and falling in what Stapledon posits as predictable patterns of utopia and crisis, technological and moral advancement giving way to savagery that ascends again into greater heights in the next iteration. Amongst his predictions, Stapledon foresees ruinous European Wars in the 21st century, the depletion of fossil fuels, genetic engineering, and the supermind: a collective consciousness formed from a web of telepathically linked individuals. A work that is as ambitious as it is groundbreaking, Last and First Men is still widely regarded as a science fiction classic and has been adapted to film as recently as 2020.

As I Lay Dying (1930) is the fifth novel from legendary Southern gothic author William Faulker. Utilizing his signature stream-of-consciousness writing style, Faulkner paints a tragic picture of family, morality, and death through a sprawling narrative that includes 15 narrators spread over 59 chapters.

The narrative itself follows the Bundren family. Sick and dying, Addie Bundren, wife to Anse Bundren and mother to the five Bundren children, requests to be buried in her hometown of Jefferson, Mississippi. Upon her death, the family sets out to fulfill her wishes, only to find themselves hindered by man and nature alike, their own selfish desires clashing with the harsh realities of early 20th century American life. To this day, the novel continues to be celebrated for its pioneering use of multiple-perspective storytelling and its reflections on the existential metaphysics of everyday life, a theme that would blossom into the Southern Renaissance movement.

Vile Bodies (1930) is the second novel by English novelist Evelyn Waugh and a scathing satire of the bohemian lifestyle that swept across post-WWI London (named by the press as “bright young things”).

Despite narrowing its sites on the decadence of its time, the novel is an apt critique of any gaggle of socialites that achieves fame solely for being famous and will undoubtedly ring true to modern readers who are fatigued with the endless parade of influencers and performative politicians flashing across their screens. The narrative itself follows Adam Symes, a novelist whose latest work is impounded by French authorities for charges of obscenity, leaving him unable to pay the dowry for the hand of his sweetheart, Nina Blount. What ensues is an absurd romp in search of one-thousand Pound Sterling that snakes through lavish estates, uncouthly ostentatious parties, and finally ending amongst the battlefields of some yet-to-come war ravaging the French countryside. Although filled with absurd humor, Waugh’s message is resounding and timeless: the collapse of civilization comes not with the rise of some grand evil but with the accumulation of small acts of stupidity and immorality that slowly erode at the foundations of society.

A foundational work of capitalism that irrevocably shaped the study of economics, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), often shortened to The Wealth of Nations, lays out Scottish economist Adam Smith’s analysis on how and why nations build and keep wealth.

It is one of the first works that established a system of political economy, or the study of economic conditions with regard to the surrounding political structure. Within the work, Smith defines many key terms that are still essential to economic understanding to this day, including: division of labor, productivity, free markets, rational self-interest and, most famously, the metaphor of the “invisible hand” regulating the market through interlocking self-interest. Despite being keenly interested in moral philosophy, Smith was a practical man. A clear example of this practicality is his stance towards slavery and the slave trade, which he denounces not on moral grounds, but because he believes paid labor will always be more efficient than slavery. While the world’s understanding of wealth, labor, and equality have changed significantly since its writing, The Wealth of Nations continues to underpi

The Social Contract and Discourses (1762) are two groundbreaking works of political theory and philosophy by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, presented here in one volume.

In The Social Contract, Rousseau breaks down his vision for a just society, one rooted in man’s inherent perfection gleaned from the state of nature. To be truly free, Rousseau argues that people must divulge themselves of their individual notions of natural rights and instead submit to the general will of the people. While this may seem antithetical to the modern perception of freedom, Rousseau argues that the boundaries necessary to uphold individual rights are in fact the greatest restrictions of freedom and that if one accepts themselves not as an individual but as one part of many, the will of the many becomes necessarily their own. In Discourses, Rousseau takes aim at one of the prevailing ideals of his time: that advances in culture necessitate advances in morality. In his view, culture is built from and maintained by inequality and its advancement leads only to moral decline. Far from trying to be perfect or prescient, Rousseau uses his words to challenge directly the accepted ideas concerning humanity’s place in the world, specifically those ideas that most often lead to violence and inequality. For modern readers, especially, it is a refreshing reminder that humanity creates good in the world by placing the well-being of others before ourselves.

Murder on the rails! When affluent American heiress Ruth Kettering is found strangled in her car aboard Le Train Bleu, legendary detective Hercule Poirot is called out of retirement to solve the case.

The sixth book following the investigations of Poirot, The Mystery of the Blue Train (1928), sees the detective delving deep into a world of decadence and deception, meticulously picking apart a web of lies to find the killer and locate the Heart of Fire, a priceless ruby belonging to the deceased that was conspicuously missing at the scene of the crime. The novel was notoriously difficult for Christie to produce, most likely due to the unfortunate circumstances of her mother’s passing and her husband’s infidelity around the time of her writing. Despite her feelings towards the book itself, possibly due to the raw and personal subject matter contained within, the story is remembered as an exciting and powerful entry in the much-beloved Poirot series.

Simplicius Simplicissimus (1668) is a semi-autobiographical and picaresque novel written by German author Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmeslhausen.

The novel follows in the style of Spanish picaresque novels, which are defined largely by their lower-class, roguish, and often darkly appealing heroes as they expose the corrupt nature of society through their courage and cunning. The novel follows the titular Simplicius, a wanderer who is so simple that he does even know his own name, leading to his acquiring the now-famous moniker. Simplicius roams the chaotic landscape brought on by the Thirty Year’s War, learning about the nature of the world from different teachers and pursuits. After his family is killed, he is taken in by a hermit before being conscripted to fight for the Imperial Army upon the hermit’s death. Combat, as it so often does, acts as a means of advancement for the young Simplicius and leads him towards a life of bourgeois decadence. In the end, he resolves to become a hermit himself, convinced the evils of the world were widespread and root deep.

Dostoevsky’s most turbulent and brutal novel, The Possessed (also translated as Demons/Devils/The Devils) (1872) is a tragedy in its truest form and a biting critique of nihilism and all other “isms” that plagued late 19th century Russian society.

Similar in form to his other works, the novel is “polyphonic,” relying less on the commentary of the narrator and more on the restless collision of his characters and their ideals. The many branching characters and storylines serve to form a powerful allegory of the potentially devastating results of the public shift towards political and moral nihilism occurring during the author’s lifetime in Russian society. Influenced by real-world events like the murder of Ivan Ivanov by the radical group known as the Nechayvists, Dostoevsky envisions a small Russian town that is brought to the point of collapse after being caught in the epicenter of an attempted revolution. Dostoevsky, in his continuous pursuit of humanity, diverges from his contemporaries by painting nihilists not as inherently evil and amoral but as ordinary people who are driven towards debaucherous behavior by their own faults, slipping into nihilist and fatalist beliefs without the safety net of religion and clear morality to catch them.

Lady Chatterly's Lover (1928) is the controversial final novel of D.H. Lawrence that, both on and off the page, challenged the rigid norms governing class, love, and sexuality that dominated early-19th century society.

The novel explores in shocking detail the life and desires of the titular Lady Chatterly. After her handsome and able-bodied husband sustains an injury during The Great War that leaves him paralyzed from the waist down, Lady Chatterly begins an affair with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors, in an attempt to find the passionate satisfaction that her husband is now unable and unwilling to offer. Through this affair, Lawrence explores the gulf between the social classes of the time and the idea that love requires stimulation of both the mind and body, a particularly controversial notion for 1929, especially with respect to women. The novel was the subject of a watershed obscenity trial, ultimately won by the publisher (who, it should be noted, sold exponentially more copies of the book than it would have without the publicity driven by the scandal), that still serves as the benchmark for freedom of expression in literature. Despite its initial publication after the trial in 1932, the “complete and unexpurgated” edition was not released in the US and UK until 1960.

The Tragedy of Richard the Third (1597), frequently shortened to Richard III, chronicles the Machiavellian ascension and untimely toppling of King Henry III of England.

The finale of Shakespear’s first historical tetralogy is labeled both a history and a drama and is notable for its early adaptation of the anti-hero as its protagonist, the titular King Richard both acknowledging and lamenting his own wretchedness while lashing from one mood to the next in ways irrevocable to those around him and the story itself. As with most works from the Bard, the language of Richard III has crept its way across the centuries, with “Now is the winter of our discontent” being adapted into book titles (Steinbeck’s The Winter of Our Discontent), referenced in film and television (Star Trek, House, M.D., Mad Men, The Simpsons, and many more), and used to label contemporary moments of crisis (the UK “Winter of Discontent” from 1978-1979).

The twenty-third entry in the Oz series and the ninth written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, the inheritor of the series after L. Frank Baum’s passing, Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz (1929) features everything an Oz reader could want: a journey to the Emerald City, strange inhabitants with even stranger predicaments, and magic items that never fail to save the day in unexpected ways.

Peter Brown, a Philadelphia-born boy first introduced in The Gnome King of Oz (1927), finds himself intolerably bored on a rainy day. With no baseball to be played, he holes up in his attic and, while perusing the sack of gold coins gleaned from his last journey to Oz, notices one of the coins is different from the rest. When he rubs the odd coin and thinks of the Land of Oz, he suddenly finds himself transported back, haphazardly placed in the backyard of the titular Jack Pumpkinhead. Jack agrees to take him to the Emerald City, and along the way the two meet many strange characters, most notably the friendly yet discouraged Snif the Iffin, a griffin who has lost his “gr-” and can no longer growl. With the help of Jack, Snif, and many other strange characters, Peter does his darndest to settle local disputes while making his way back to the Wizard of Oz, his only way back home.

The archetypal rags-to-riches story, Nicholas Nickleby (1839) follows the titular Nicholas and his family as they fall onto hard times after the death of their father. With no other options, they are forced to beg for help from their wealthy and ruthless uncle, Ralph Nickleby.

True to form, Ralph sets each of the family members on equally unpleasant paths: Nicholas to teach at a notoriously abusive boarding school and his sister Kate and his mother to live in squalid conditions while Kate works for a milliner who humiliates her on a daily basis. Through Nicholas’ cunning, courage, and good nature, he is able to escape the boarding school and free his mother and sister from their oppressive arrangements. He falls madly in love with a wealthy artist who is also wrapped up in his uncle’s schemes and, in the end, manages to free her as well, leading to the downfall of Ralph and the ascendence of Nicholas and his family. True to form, Charles Dickens delivers the story with astute prose and witty humor, crafting a narrative that is at once satirical, melodramatic, and heartfelt.

Originally contracted to report on the American prison system, Alexis de Tocqueville arrived in the nascent country and found that a greater study needed to take place, that which showed why representative democracy seemed to be thriving in America while failing across the world. The results of this study are compiled in his landmark work, Democracy in America, the first volume of which would be published in 1835 and the second in 1840.

The book fundamentally changed the way Americans perceived their own country and how the world perceived Americans. Tocqueville dives deep into several unique aspects of American society, most notably its foundation in social equality, the seemingly impossible mix of religious fervor and political freedom, and the vast differences between the different states and regions. He also predicts that the US and Russia will rise as rival superpowers, that race will continue to dominate American politics even after the abolition of slavery, and that majority rule could mutate into social coercion without the minority feeling safe to dissent. Tocqueville’s outsider-focused research and prescient ideas make the book a refreshing and valuable resource for modern readers who want to deepen their understanding of American history and the history of Democracy as a whole.

Mary Wollestonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792) is a foundational piece of feminist philosophy and staple in modern philosophy classrooms.

The essay itself was written in response to Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord’s 1791 report to the French National Assemble, which called for the restriction of education for French women to only the domestic spheres. While Wollstonecraft never argued for the true equality of sexes (her own ideals were more rooted in religious morality and the maintenance of certain gender roles), she argued fervently against the double standards that plagued the women of her time. Chief among these were the exclusion of women from higher education and the responsibility of women to remain virtuousness in marriage while men could sin as they pleased. She also argued against the rampant sensibility of the time and suggested that, to become productive members of society, women must decouple themselves from the excessive emotions they have been taught to cultivate for centuries. In the style of the text itself, Wollstonecraft’s tendency to combine male and female sensibilities shines in her notably philosophical framing of the essay as a “treatise” and her personal usage of “I” and “you” and expressive punctuation like dashes and exclamation marks. While undoubtedly an important piece of feminist thought, historians and philosophers stress the importance of resisting the temptation to impress modern ideals of gender, revolution, and politics onto someone whose views were very much shaped by the prevailing politics and moral beliefs of her own time.

Decline and Fall (1928) is a biting satire and black comedy concerning British society in the 1920s. Evelyn Waugh drew from his own experiences to craft the novel, including his schooldays at Lancing college, undergraduate years at Hertford College, Oxford, and his time spent as a teacher at the Arnold House in northern Wales.

The narrative follows Paul Pennyfeather, a modest and by all appearances average theology student who is wrapped up in the drunken antics of the Bollinger Club, a high-society group known for raucous engagements. He is thereupon expelled from Oxford and travels to Wales to find work as a teacher. There begins his spiral down the moral vacuum, as he takes up with a wealthy widow, the Honourable Margot Beste-Chetwynde, who operates a chain of upscale brothels in Latin America. He even goes so far as to travel to Marseille on her behalf to grease the palms of French authorities who are holding up the widow’s trafficked girls bound for Brazil. Waugh’s intention in writing was never subtle, taking deliberate aim at various parts of British society he found unsavory, including cultural confusion, moral disorientation, and social bedlam. However, it must be remembered that this is a work of satire and, in the author’s own words from the first edition, “IT IS MEANT TO BE FUNNY.”

Written during one of the lowest points in German author Herman Hesse’s life, Steppenwolf is a rumination on the eternal outsider—the individual who cannot find joy in society and for whom isolation brings only psychic torment.

The novel’s protagonist Harry Haller believes he is split into two beings: the civilized “man” and the instinctual “wolf.” Throughout the novel, Hesse goes to great lengths to dispel this myth, positing through multiple characters that the self is multi-faceted and that the illusion of duality is what traps Haller in his misery. The novel operates on several layers of literary irony: its name is derived from the German steppe wolf despite taking place entirely in a dense urban environment, the manuscript itself is presented as a manuscript written by protagonist Henry Haller with commentary by his landlady’s nephew, and the narrative is a showcase for isolationist thought and debaucherous decline while ostensibly keeping the cosmic door open for change and redemption. It is this final aspect that Hesse felt was the most misunderstood, lamenting in later editions that readers focused too heavily on the tragic elements of Henry Haller’s life without considering underlying possibility of transcendence and recovery. Ultimately, Hesse’s clarity on the dangers of self-isolation acts as a tonic to a modern world beset by isolation and individualism.

When a man collapses from a stab wound in the queue for a West End performance, Inspector Grant must piece together the truth from a band of disinterested witnesses and the lone possession of the dead man: a loaded gun.

A subversive and underappreciated gem from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, The Man in the Queue exposes the fallibility of circumstantial evidence and paints the picture of a truly human detective, one who can make mistakes despite what seems to be irrefutable logic. In Scotland Yard’s Inspector Grant, Josephine Tey subverts the detective genre in a way that will ring true to modern readers who enjoy complex protagonists over one-note symbols of virtue and argumentation. Originally taking the pseudonym Gordon Daviot, Tey would go on to publish five more volumes following Inspector Grant under her own name, each building off this impressive start and even receiving film adaptations from the likes of Alfred Hitchock.

In the formative years of democracy for any nation, it is essential to find cultural ties that bind together seemingly disparate sects of society. In Willa Cather’s 1927 novel, Death of the Archbishop, she posits that religious faith, wielded not as a tool of domination but of coexistence, can bring meld what seem at first as incompatible civilizations.

Set in the late 19th century in the newly acquired New Mexico territory, the novel is based on the lives of Catholic missionaries Jean-Baptiste Lamy and Joseph Projectus Machebeuf. Jean Marie Latour, the analogue for Jean-Baptiste Lamy, acts as the protagonist and the main instrument of Cather’s views on religion as a vessel for coexistence. Latour demonstrates that faith leaders must extend a hand outward to those outside their flock and offer them kindness and succor before any talk of conversion or even of God can begin. That being said, the book is far from idealistic. Cather does not shy away from the brutal realities of the Colonial Southwest, showing many of the establishment priests and bishops to be corrupted by their power and cruel towards the indigenous population. In a world where political and social divisions grow wider by the day, Death of the Archbishop offers modern readers an optimistic look at how cultures can coexist and thrive under shared values and mutual respect.

"Of things, some depend upon ourselves, others do not depend upon ourselves." This simple opening line of The Enchiridion (c. 125 CE), the defining handbook on stoicism, contains Epictetus’ entire philosophy boiled down to its most essential: control what you can control and do not concern yourself with what you cannot.

A direct influence on legendary thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus prescribes constant vigilance for the burgeoning stoic. Vigilance not just of the physical world, but of the internal reactions to the physical world. It is those reactions, he argues, that cause true discomfort and pain. To achieve this vigilance, it is necessary to ground oneself in logic and reason, seeing the trials and tribulations of the world as trials to overcome by force of will and strategy rather than personal attacks or unscalable barriers. For the modern reader, The Enchiridion offers a simple and direct guide for living unshackled by the burdens of hyper-individualization and a digestible doorway into stoic philosophy.

Still a staple in history classrooms to this day, The Red Badge of Courage (1895) is at once a portal to a crucible moment in American history and a lyrical investigation into the origins of shame, bravery, and redemption within the human spirit.

In the face of unrelenting and senseless brutality, why do some people flee while others stand their ground? This question is at the heart of the novel. The narrative follows Private Henry Fleming, a young soldier full of romantic ideals about war and heroism. In the heat of battle, that bravery and heroism melt away to reveal something closer to cowardice and self-preservation. Fleming feels an overwhelming desire to get far away from the bloodshed and never look back, even if that means living with the shame of deserting his comrades. Crane forces the reader to wrestle with this internal dilemma amidst a shockingly realistic depiction of one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history, a conflict whose razor-wire line of morality pitted countryman against countryman and brother against brother.

Plato’s Republic is structured as a dialogue between Socrates and three different challengers, laying out Plato’s views on justice, utopia, and the attributes of the ideal citizen within such a society.

Plato purports that true justice provides meaning for both the individual and the community. As a hammer derives meaning from its true purpose of driving home the nail, so too does every person find meaning in their true purpose of creating and maintaining a just society. Broadening his scope, he then posits that the ideal society would consist of three classes: the philosopher kings who dictate laws and morals, the warriors to provide protection, and the producers to keep the wheels turning. Plato’s seminal work is still fiercely critiqued and studied within professional and academic circles with the goal of better understanding and improving the opalescent fabric of society. Many influential works of philosophy and literature, including Huxley’s Brave New World and Orwell’s 1984, have taken The Republic as a key starting point for the dissection and discussion of societal norms and trends.

The Return of the Native (1878) returns readers to the fictional Edgon Heath, a quiet village on the English countryside, where a taboo tale of thwarted desire pits societal norms against humanity’s natural appetites.

Through a cast of tragic characters, Hardy constructs a web of deceit and heartbreak in the quiet village of Edgon Heath, its denizens shackled by their conflicting desires for romance and status. Eustacia Vye takes center stage, her agency and flawed ideals propelling the plot along towards its deadly conclusion. To undercut these notably modern themes and characters, the novel also retains an air of classical tragedy. The more each character struggles against their fate, the more they are ensnared by the tendrils of time, place, and action. Those who wish to leave the quiet village to live a lavish life find themselves trapped, while those who wish only to live by their good works find a tumultuous world that refuses to accept them. It is a cautionary tale, a clear warning that when ephemeral societal norms trump humanity’s fundamental drive towards passion and love, only grief will follow.

What lies in wait at the nexus of heartbreak and unrequited love? In teasing out the answer to this question, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe produced The Sorrows of Young Werther, one of history’s first bestsellers and the book that would propel Goethe to celebrity status and the heights of the Sturm and Drang movement that defined Germany’s literary scene during the late 1700s.

The novel follows Werther, a young and sensitive artist, through his letters written to his friend Wilhelm concerning his all-encompassing yet unrequited love for Charlotte, a woman already engaged to a man eleven years her senior. The devastation that ensues turned the only 26-year-old Goethe into a celebrity almost overnight, with figures like Napoleon Bonaparte extolling the story as one of the greatest novels of their time. Ultimately, Goethe would distance himself from Young Werther, regretting the fame it brought him and the unwanted attention it placed on the companions of his youth that he drew inspiration from. Even in his lament, Geothe’s undeniable mastery of language shines through: “If Werther had been my brother and I had killed him, I could scarcely have been so persecuted by his avenging ghost.” History, however, will always remember The Sorrows of Young Werther as one of the greatest works of Romanticism ever produced and an enduring glimpse into the potential for love, rejection, and tragedy that lives within us all.

The Iliad (c. 750 BCE) is one of the oldest works of literature in existence and continues to stir the imagination of contemporary readers thanks to its epic depictions of martial prowess, heroism, and tragedy.

Aiming to bring the legendary story to a new audience, Samuel Butler eschewed the traditional poetical style in favor of a prose translation more akin to that used in the 18th and 19th centuries without losing any of the beauty of the original. The narrative details the fall of Troy and the many tragedies that befall both sides of the war. Heroes clash in sweeping and brutal battle as the Gods watch on in delight, Kings rise and fall by their honor-bound mandates while their men toil in the mundanity of war, and lovers die desperately trying to turn the tides of fate. The Iliad is a meditation on fate, honor, and heroism, painting a world in which the chaos of humanity’s clashing vanities means something greater to not only ourselves, but the Gods above.

The only full-length novel of Edgar Allan Poe, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838) is a tale that is as strange as it is adventurous, as comical as it is horrifying, and just about as Poe as it gets.

Initially intended to be a realistic tale, the adventure of the titular Arthur, a stowaway aboard the whaling ship Grampus, is always turning stranger and harder to define, Poe’s powerful imagination leaking into the cracked hull of the narrative and flooding it slowly with enigmatic characters and nightmarish situations. The ship is beset by mutineers, only to be smashed apart by a storm. While clinging to life amongst the driftwood, a ship crewed by corpses passes them by before their salvation comes in a simple schooner. Off the southern tip of South America, hostile tribes are found amongst a lost set of islands. Ancient secrets mark the walls of an infinite cave system, and beyond the end of the world an ashen reaper glides across bone-white seas. While described by the author himself as “a very silly book,” the narrative has influenced many celebrated storytellers like Herman Melville, Jules Verne, and H.P. Lovecraft.

The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) is a masterwork of emotional complexity, heartbreak, and redemption by celebrated English author Thomas Hardy.

Drunk and outraged, Michael Henchard auctions off his own wife and daughter for five guineas. The following morning, he searches for his family to no avail and, with the clarity of sobriety, swears off liquor for the next 21 years. In that time, he becomes a successful grain merchant and the titular Mayor of Casterbridge, all the while keeping the shameful truth of his family’s disappearance under strict secrecy. Through Henchard, Thomas Hardy paints with compassion a picture of a man whose virtues run as deep as his faults. Ultimately, the past refuses to stay buried, and with the return of his wife and child, Henchard must manage his public image as the mayor of a quiet and close knit Dorsetshire town with the weight of familial responsibility, honor, and truth.

His analysis rests on a two-part model of dreams: one part which plants subconscious desires within the dream and another part which censors those desires and distorts them into incomprehensible expressions. It is then up to the patient and the psychoanalyst to parse out the seemingly incoherent images and reconstruct them into something meaningful. Since its publication, the text has proven divisive amongst the scientific community, with some arguing that the dreams provided in the text refute Freud’s own theories. Regardless, Freud’s writings are a fascinating look into amongst humanity’s most enduring mysteries.

In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.

Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.

"A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of Communism." The Communist Manifesto (1848) is one of the most important pieces of political writing in modern history, sparking outrage, revolution, and controversy since its initial publication in 1848.

In the text, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels begin by laying out the different classes of people within society and how those classes interact with one another. They stress the exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class and the consequences of that exploitation. The Manifesto concludes with a call to direct action, urging the masses of workers to rise up in revolution and seize the means of production. In their view, this revolution is the only path forward to create a just society.

When man petitions the heavens, is it God or the devil who answers? This question, central to the human experience, is the driving force behind Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s seminal 1806 play, Faust.

Based loosely on the facts and dramatized retellings of 15th century alchemist, astrologer, and magician Johann Georg Faust, the play follows Faust’s search for limitless understanding and wisdom through magical means outside the realms of science and religion. The devil, keen to prove to God that he can lead one his servants away from righteous pursuits, presents himself to Faust as the enigmatic Mephistopheles and offers him a bargain: He will serve Faust in life, but in return Faust must serve him in death. Goethe, not satisfied with joining in the long tradition of ‘deal with the devil’ stories, augments his telling by arriving at the distinctly modern conclusion that “He who strives on and lives to strive / Can earn redemption still.” In the end, Faust is not punished for his drive to know more but rewarded for his unwavering spirit even in the face of hardship, horror, and the knowledge that no single moment can bring eternal bliss.

Billy Budd is the final novel from legendary author Herman Melville. Published posthumously almost thirty years after his death, the novel is renowned for its richness of character and its thematic ambiguity.

Melville couches his tale of morality inside an exciting nautical adventure set during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars. The novel follows the titular Billy Budd, a handsome and charismatic sailor conscripted aboard a British Man 'O War named Bellipotent. When one of the senior officers accuses him falsely of mutiny, Budd lashes out and strikes the officer dead in one blow. In the court martial that ensues, the crew struggles to find a just solution to the problem of Billy Budd. On one hand, he has killed a senior officer, and naval law dictates his own life be given in return. On the other, the charges of mutiny originally leveled against him are clearly false and begin a dialogue that calls into question the absolute morality of the law. An unprecedented accomplishment for its time, Melville's utilization of his rich characters to explore morality, political power, and justice levels a potent critique of institutional power that continues to resonate with readers today.

Daisy Miller is Henry James’ sharpest critique of European high society and a must read for lovers of psychological drama, social deconstruction, and classic literature.

The titular Daisy Miller is a woman whose genuine kindness and lust for life is anathema to the rigid and vain culture of 19th Century Europe. For refusing to conform, Daisy is the subject of gossip everywhere she goes and eventually cast out of high society all together, culminating in a midnight visit to the Colosseum that would prove to be fatal. The narrative is a cutting reminder of the costs of ostracization and the importance of varied perspectives in a healthy society. The book raises many questions that will resonate with modern readers: Who loses when decorum and morality become rigid? How does a culture that values outward appearance over inward virtue treat those that don’t conform? How can two cultures, each with their own sense of morality, possibly coexist? All of these questions and their convoluted and often contradictory answers are handled effortlessly by James as he weaves a story suffused with moral tension, emotional trauma, and personal betrayal.

Haultain centers his musings on the frailty of the human body when presented with the stress of physical and mental exertion. In a sport like golf, which Haultain describes as pitting, "yourself against the world,” body and mind become the athlete's premier competitor and are often at odds with one another. Haultain delves deep into this disconnect, leading the reader along the balancing act between assumed potential and real achievement that is central to every world-class golfer's psychology. He does not, however, get lost in the particulars, frequently explaining how his lessons from the golf course can be applied to daily life. In that way, Haultain's essays have become an evergreen source of inspiration and knowledge for golfers and anyone else who wishes to master their mindset and learn new skills.

After being released from prison in 1901 at the age of 57, Younger took it upon himself to record the deeds of his life, starting with his humble upbringings on the Younger Family Farm and the tragic loss of his father at the hands of a Union soldier (despite his father being a Union supporter himself). The increasing violence of the Civil War combined with young Cole's desire for revenge lead him to leave home and join up with a guerilla band marshalled by William Clark Quintrell. Quintrell's band, along with many of the other "bushwhackers" of the era, operate in relative freedom to raid and retaliate in the chaos that defined the Civil War in the southern states. With the end of the war, Younger and his brothers seamlessly shift from a soldier's life to an outlaw's, specializing in train, bank, and stagecoach robbery. The gang gains notoriety with each crime committed, although Younger is careful to frame these acts not as born of wanton violence or greed, but from a drive to deliver justice for the Union's destruction of Missouri and the suffering of Confederate loyalists. The gang's deeds would culminate in their attempted robbery of The First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota, which is thwarted thanks to resistance from the local population. In the violence that ensued, many gang members were killed while Younger and his brother were wounded and sentenced to life in prison. Life on the inside softens Younger, who writes of himself as a model inmate and uses the time to reflect and eventually decide to write his story down, "to clear up the record." Following his release from prison, Younger capitalized on his reputation by joining Wild West shows and speaking publicly about his experience as a soldier and, to a lesser extent, as an outlaw. Despite repenting his deeds and converting to Christianity at the end of his life, Younger's deeds live on as a central building block of the Wild West and post-Civil War mythos.

A seminal work of the hard-boiled detective genre, Red Harvest (1929) sees the introduction of the Continental Op, a frequent character in the Dashiell Hammett’s fiction and a clear precursor to the morally ambiguous detectives of later works. This gritty and chaotic story is a masterpiece of action and moral conflict, exploring how the detective himself can become tainted by the pervasive corruption of the world he seeks to fix.
