  Middlemarch (Book 5: The Dead Hand), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels.

  One of the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die A Le Monde 100 Books of the Century book Recognized as a Great American Novel by The Atlantic  
  … occasionally beautiful, frequently wrenching, and thoroughly destabilizing—a tale told by a genius, signifying, somehow … everything. — Megan Garber for The Atlantic  
  Set in Jefferson, Mississippi, The Sound and the Fury follows the Compson family. Over the course of four different narratives—three from the perspective of a different Compson brother, one from a third-person omniscient point of view—the story maps the family's decline from Southern aristocracy to tragedy. 
  Originally published in 1929, William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury was the author's fourth novel. Though not initially successful, the novel has since been recognized as one of Faulkner's best works, and one of the best works of Southern literature in literary history, as well as instrumental in the development of the stream-of-consciousness literary technique. Faulkner would go on to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.   
  This new audio edition of the modernist Southern Gothic classic is narrated by Audie Award winner Pete Cross.

  Of Time and the River

  "A man's hunger for the world—the fury of youth, the mystery of time, and the pulse of a nation."
  
  In Of Time and the River, Thomas Wolfe paints a portrait of the artist as a young man on a grand scale. We follow Eugene Gant from the halls of Harvard University to the bustling streets of New York City and across the oceans to Europe. Driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge, experience, and love, Eugene grapples with the weight of his family's past and the overwhelming promise of the future. Wolfe's prose is legendary—vibrant, torrential, and deeply poetic—capturing the "buried life" of humanity and the sprawling, contradictory beauty of early 20th-century America.
  
  The "Hunger" of Youth: Eugene Gant is one of literature's most relatable seekers. His journey is defined by a frantic desire to read every book, meet every person, and see every sight. Wolfe perfectly captures that specific time in life when the world feels both impossibly large and urgently within reach.
  
  A Symphony of Time: As the title suggests, the novel is obsessed with the flow of time—both the relentless "river" of history and the private, internal time of memory. Wolfe explores how we are shaped by the ghosts of our ancestors and the fleeting moments that define our identity.
  
  Why It Is a Masterpiece: Of Time and the River is more than a story; it is an experience. It is a book for anyone who has ever felt "homesick for a place they've never been." Wolfe's ability to find the epic in the everyday makes this one of the most powerful and enduring works of American Modernism.
