Moby-Dick
Category : Classics
Author : Herman Melville
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0671028359
|
|
Description : Herman Melville's peerless allegorical masterpiece is the epic saga of the fanatical Captain Ahab, who swears vengeance on the mammoth white whale that has crippled him. Often considered to be the Great American Novel, Moby-Dick is at once a starkly realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusual adventure, and a searing drama of heroic courage, moral conflict, and mad obsession. It is world-renowned as the greatest sea story ever told.

The 120 Days of Sodom and Other Writings
Category : Classics
Author : Marquis Sade
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0802130127
|
|
Description : To me, the Marquis De Sade is one of the most disturbing and demented entities I have ever come across. His talent of expression and writing has however made him one of the most beautiful all the same. I cannot describe the depth that is the Marquis; that can only be experienced by reading. This selection is by far his most violent and stirring, thus I recommend it because it is his most vivid account. I do warn that this is not a book to take lightly. This is not a toy, or a game; it should not be taken literally, nor enacted. But if you want to experience a psychological sensation that only the worst nightmares bring, then I recommend it to you. Don’t get off your meds- remember this is fiction.

Paradise Lost
Category : Classics
Author : John Milton, John Leonard
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0140424261
|
|
Description : The best story I've read in a long time. Although I disagree with alot of the details and implications, it is an excellent story and isn't completely boring like the Divine Comedy. This is the story about the Fall of Humanity from the Garden of Eden and the war in Heaven. If possible, try to obtain the copy with John Martin's illustrations.
