Les Miserables [MultiFormat]
by Victor Hugo

 In this story of the trials of the peasant Jean Valjean--a man unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert--Hugo achieves the sort of rare imaginative resonance that allows a work of art to transcend its genre.

The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories [Secure Mobipocket/eReader (recommended)]
by H. P. Lovecraft

 Howard Phillips Lovecraft's unique contribution to American literature was a melding of traditional supernaturalism (derived chiefly from Edgar Allan Poe) with the genre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1920s. This new Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics edition brings together a dozen of the master's tales-from his early short stories "Under the Pyramids" (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini) and "The Music of Erich Zann" (which Lovecraft ranked second among his own favorites) ... more info>>

Dubliners [MultiFormat]
by James Joyce
|
|
In the fifteen classic stories that comprise Dubliners, James Joyce seeks to explore the "significance of trivial things." While the stories can be regarded as separate and independent entities, they can also be considered as parts of a larger whole, reinforcing and illuminating each other, acting as pieces of a mosaic that captures moods from childhood, young adulthood, courtship, and married life, as well as the public life of church, state, and the arts.

Herman Melville is widely recognized as one of the greatest writers America has ever produced. Had his metaphysical whaling novel, Moby-Dick, been his sole literary legacy, Melville's place in the pantheon of great writers would have been assured. But Melville created many other much-beloved classic works, such as Billy Budd, Sailor and Benito Cereno. Herein are ten stories representing some of the American master's best short work, including the tales "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-S... more info>>
