• Foundational Epics: Delve into the adventures of Odysseus in Homer's 'The Odyssey', a narrative of perseverance and homecoming. Journey through the circles of Hell with Dante's 'Inferno', an allegorical exploration of sin and divine justice, presented here in a translation by Robin Kirkpatrick.
• Romanticism and Gothic Morality: Experience the tragic beauty of 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame' by Victor Hugo, a profound exploration of love, prejudice, and society. Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' offers a chilling tale of aestheticism and moral decay, famously exposing the dark side of eternal youth and beauty.
• Modern Allegory: George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' stands as a powerful allegorical novella, delivering a piercing critique of totalitarianism and the corruption of revolutionary ideals. It remains a timeless commentary on political power and human nature.
