An American masterpiece, Moby-Dick takes you on an epic voyage aboard the Pequod, where Captain Ahab's obsession with the whale named "Moby Dick" drives the crew and his ship further and further into a spiral of madness. Considered a classic today, Moby-Dick was not as appreciated during Melville's lifetime, where it even went out of print for many decades. Not until Melville's 100 year anniversary of his birth year did a revival into his work bring Moby-Dick back into the forefront of American Literature.

For all Gatsby has attained in his life, that green light represents all that he lost.

If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear The idea of a reanimated corpse was famously conceived by an 18 year old Mary Shelley on holiday with her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron near Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The three were tasked with writing a ghost story, which resulted in one of the most famous novels to come from the 19th century. Published anonymously in a three volume series, Frankenstein instantly set the standard for a true literary horror and its themes led many to believe it was the first true science fiction novel. In 1831 and after much pressure, Mary Shelley revised the text to be more fitting to contemporary standards. Presented here by Reader's Library Classics is a striking hardcover of the original 1818 text of Frankenstein.Young scientist Victor Frankenstein, grief-stricken over the death of his mother, sets out in a series of laboratory experiments testing the ability to create life from non-living matter. Soon, his experiments progress further until he creates a humanoid creature eight feet tall. But as Frankenstein soon discovers, a successful experiment does not always equal a positive outcome.
