A horrible story about the fun of English students on an uninhabited island.

One hundred years of Solitude

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

You will understand how important a loving family is in every person’s life.

The Dharma Wanderers

Jack Kerouac

Upon returning from the war in the mid-1940s, veterans found no truth or merit in the United States and began to wander.

It is a work dedicated to all travelers.

The French Lieutenant’s Wife

John Fowles

Every day by the sea, a young woman dressed in black stands and looks at the horizon. One day, she is noticed by a young man who should already be married, but things don’t go well.

David Copperfield

Charles Dickens

This is another story that teaches the reader of any age how important discipline, emotion and morality are to achieving goals and success.

Bel Ami

Guy de Maupassant

A classic French novel with an “anti-hero” as the protagonist. Young journalist Georges Duroy tries to enrich himself in Paris. He has no talent, he is petty, fearful and illiterate. But he is very handsome. A terrifying story about how talented and intelligent women become victims of their own blindness. A romance that prevents stories with men who take advantage of everything in life.

The big Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald

This novel was included in the list of unrecognized masterpieces when it was published.

The catcher in the rye

J.D. Salinger

A book about the difficulties in the life of a teenager. And no matter what age this happens. Disturbances, loneliness and fear of incomprehension: each person experiences them, which is why this work has become something close and understandable to millions of readers around the world.

Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Undoubtedly, a masterpiece of Russian literature. No one has described the human soul as accurately without resolving its deep meaning as Dostoevsky. A work that should be read by everyone.

The prince

The Master and Daisy

Mikhail Bulgakov

A masterpiece by Bulgakov published only after his death. This is a multifaceted novel about the confrontation of good and evil, which immerses the reader in the world of passion and human essence.

the metamorphosis

Franz Kafka

Kafka is a difficult and obscure writer. It’s not easy for a young woman to fall in love with his books. But you have to try. The novel Metamorphosis is an absurd pamphlet about human loneliness. If you put aside the author’s modern gimmicks and focus on the essence, you’ll understand that it’s all about life, the illusion of love, ugliness, and the loneliness of each.

The little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
