Ivanhoe

Four soldiers, one queen's secret, and a cardinal who wants them dead. Dumas turned court intrigue into pure momentum, and this complete unabridged edition keeps every duel and every betrayal intact.

Alexandre Dumas

A sailor is framed, buried alive in a sea fortress, and comes back rich, unrecognizable and patient. The greatest revenge story ever written, complete and unabridged.

Alexandre Dumas

An old man reads too many chivalry books and rides out to fix a world that stopped needing fixing. Both parts complete, with the windmills, the inns and the long argument with Sancho.

Miguel de Cervantes

Four voyages to places that do not exist, each one a mirror held up to the reader's own country. Swift wrote a travel book that turns into a demolition of politics, science and human vanity.

Jonathan Swift

A boy and a runaway slave float down the Mississippi on a raft and keep running into the worst of the shore. Twain wrote it in the voice of a child and it changed how American novels sound.

Mark Twain
