    There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them. — W. H. Auden  
    No More Parades is the second of four in Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End tetralogy, a work that Ford hoped would contribute to the obviating of all future wars. The novel follows Christopher Tietjens, a wealthy British landowner and the last British Tory; his unfaithful wife, Sylvia; and his mistress, Valentine Wannop. Highlighting the tension between traditional values and the new reality of a world marred by war, the novel details Tietjens' turmoils in both his personal life and on the warfront—and what follows when those struggles become one and the same.  
    The Parade's End tetralogy privileges not the conflict of World War I itself, but the impact the war had on its participants and upon society writ large. It is often referred to as one of the greatest 20th century novels, and one of the best depictions of war in literature. The 2012 television adaptation, written by Tom Stoppard and starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards and seven BAFTA Television Awards.

    The Bottle Imp by Robert Louis Stevenson tells the story of Keawe, a Hawaiian man who buys a magical bottle containing an imp that grants its owner any wish. However, there's a catch: the bottle must be sold to another person for a lower price than what the current owner paid, otherwise, the owner's soul will be claimed by the devil upon their death. 
    Keawe experiences both the incredible joys and the terrifying anxieties that come with possessing such an object. He gains wealth and status, but lives under the constant shadow of needing to sell the bottle under a specific condition. The story explores themes of temptation, desire, the nature of happiness, and the value of one's soul.

Cather paints a rich portrait of the American Midwest, exploring themes of immigration, the relationship between people and the land they inhabit, and the enduring spirit of the pioneers who sought to tame it.

    The Classic Collection of Dystopias is an essential anthology that brings together three of the most influential dystopian novels of the 20th century. This edition offers a deep dive into the disturbing, thought-provoking worlds created by Ayn Rand, Evgeny Zamyatin, and Jack London, exploring themes of individuality, totalitarianism, and societal control.
    Anthem by Ayn Rand presents a future where individualism is forbidden, and one man's journey to reclaim his identity serves as a powerful critique of collectivism.
    We by Evgeny Zamyatin, a seminal work of dystopian fiction, imagines a totalitarian society where the state controls every aspect of life, and the concept of personal freedom is almost unimaginable. It was one of the first novels to envision such a future, influencing many later works in the genre.
    The Iron Heel by Jack London explores the rise of an oppressive oligarchy and the struggle of the working class to resist it, serving as a prophetic vision of the dangers of unchecked power and class divisions.
    This collection provides readers with an intellectual journey into the dark futures imagined by these visionary authors. The Classic Collection of Dystopias is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction, offering timeless insights into the human condition and the perils of authoritarianism.
