The Sign of Four
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · 2016
The Handmaids Tale
Margaret Atwood · 2017
1984
George Orwell · 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
A Study in Scarlet
Arthur Conan Doyle · 2020
Introducing the most famous detective to the world required a grand stage capable of grabbing and holding the public’s attention. “A Study in Scarlet” is a worthy vehicle for the debut of Sherlock Holmes — one that doesn't disappoint. The iconic literary figure explodes onto the pages of Conan Doyle’s celebrated work with a dynamic and charisma that is truly unique. Yet it’s doubtless the character of Holmes would have left such an abiding impression if the plot of “A Study in Scarlet” hadn’t been so masterful and gripping.<br/><br/>The reader first encounters Holmes through the eyes of Dr. John Watson, who is convalescing in the wake of the Afghanistan war. The two strike up a friendship, which is cemented by the grim discovery of a dead man in a boarding house. The murdered man’s face is contorted in an expression of abject horror, but he bears no wounds. The two investigate the mysterious death, and so begins a world-famous relationship. “A Study In Scarlet” is the first time the world got a taste of the formidable powers of deduction and investigative skills of Sherlock Holmes. Such was the book’s power, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.

The Song of Achilles: A Novel
Madeline Miller · 2012
A New York Times Bestseller<br/>“At once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art….A book I could not put down.” —Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch House<br/>A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of Circe<br/>A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.<br/>“A captivating retelling of The Iliad and events leading up to it through the point of view of Patroclus: it’s a hard book to put down, and any classicist will be enthralled by her characterisation of the goddess Thetis, which carries the true savagery and chill of antiquity.” — Donna Tartt, The Times
