  Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street is a novella by the American novelist Herman Melville (1819–1891). It first appeared anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 editions of Putnam's Magazine, and was reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856. 
   
  Among Melville's best-known works are Moby-Dick; Typee , a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and Moby-Dick grew to be considered one of the great American novels. 
   
  During his last years, he privately published two volumes of poetry, and left one volume unpublished. The novella Billy Budd was left unfinished at his death, but was published posthumously in 1924. Melville died from cardiovascular disease in 1891.

  Les Misérables - Volume 1:...

  Victor Hugo

  Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
  VOLUME 1: FANTINE: Although this detail has no connection whatever with the real substance of what we are about to relate, it will not be superfluous, if merely for the sake of exactness in all points, to mention here the various rumors and remarks which had been in circulation about him from the very moment when he arrived in the diocese. True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do.

  Oroonoko

  Aphra Behn

  "A man that has all the virtues that can adorn a human mind."
  
  Oroonoko, a powerful African prince and brilliant general, falls deeply in love with the beautiful Imoinda. Their romance is shattered when they are both betrayed and sold into slavery, eventually reuniting on a sugar plantation in the English colony of Surinam. Renamed "Caesar" by his captors, Oroonoko cannot be broken by the chains of his station. Aphra Behn's narrative is a searing, tragic exploration of the "noble savage," the cruelty of the colonial system, and the indomitable spirit of a man born to rule.
  
  A Landmark in Literary History: As one of the earliest examples of the English novel, Oroonoko is a fascinating blend of travelogue, memoir, and epic tragedy. Behn claims the authority of an eyewitness, painting a vivid—and often brutal—picture of life in the 17th-century Caribbean. The novel challenges the moral justifications of slavery by presenting a protagonist who possesses more honor and nobility than his "civilized" Christian masters.
  
  The Tragedy of the Heroic Ideal: The story culminates in a desperate and violent rebellion as Oroonoko seeks to win freedom for his family. It is a profound meditation on the conflict between natural law and man-made systems of oppression. Oroonoko remains a critical text for understanding the origins of the novel form and the long history of social justice in literature.
  
  Witness the strength of a royal heart in chains. Purchase "Oroonoko" today and discover a foundational work of English prose.
