The 21 Best Classical Literature Books of All Time
•
Here’s my list of the 21 best classical literature books of all time, in no particular order.
•
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy – Often called the best novel ever written. Dozens of characters, stretching from Muscovite peasants
all the way to Napoleon himself. The modern epic.
•
Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy – A hundred years ahead of its time, Tolstoy’s investigation of the silent, stifling life of women is an
all-time great.
•
Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert – A classic of 19th century realism. A cautionary tale about romanticism.
•
The Iliad
by Homer – The classic Greek epic and possibly the oldest story of western civilization.
•
The Odyssey
by Homer – Samesies.
•
Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoevsky – A character study of a man driven to murder for no rational reason and the
aftermath. Russian novelists tend to be psychological and this may be the most psychological of all the Russian classics.
•
The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky – A grand and beautiful portrait of a frayed family–three brothers struggling to
understand and accept each other.
•
Don Quixote
by Miguel Cervantes – Considered the first novel ever written. Cervantes’ classic story tells of a man who imagines
himself a night, heroically defending the land.
•
Great Expectations
by Charles Dickens – One of the most universally loved novels in the English language, it’s still revered today.
•
A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens – The best-selling English language novel of all time and a historical fiction about an English
doctor who finds himself caught up in the French Revolution and Reign of Terror.
•
Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte – The coming of age of a young woman, this is considered the first book to ever follow a single
person’s psychological and spiritual growth throughout their lives from the first person.
•
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen – The timeless classic about love, romance, money, class, and family. Still as relevant as ever.
•
Wuthering Heights
by Emily Bronte – A shockingly dark and twisted book critical of the stifling morals of 19th century England.
Published posthumously, the book came under heavy attack at the time, but is considered prescient now.

morning to find himself transformed into a giant beetle. His family is… not supportive.

unforgettable.
