Classics

Classic literature has attained a level of enduring cultural relevance that most new books can never obtain. Classics share certain characteristics that attract readers from generation to generation including memorable protagonists with vivid, distinct personalities and strong points of view about the world around them; an exploration of the human experience that expresses a universal truth about how humans perceive the world around them; a richness that rewards multiple readings; and an timelessness that finds modern audiences regardless of the period of time in which it was originally written.

If you like this genre but are interested in stories that are largely told through pictures, remember that the graphic novel format can include ANY genre—not just superhero stories and manga. So be sure to check out that collection as well.
