THE CLASSICS I WISH TO READ

Hi Friends,

Now, I would like to talk about the great classics in English literature that I wish to read. I have read some of them a long time ago and would not mind reading again.

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens is one of my most favorite classics which I am planning to read again. The story is about the journey and hardships faced by David Copperfield right from the time, his mother marries the evil Mr. Murdstone to his dreadful time in a boarding school, his running away from the school to his life as a young man and the atrocities of The Murdstones, Uriah Heep and his love life.

The Time Machine by H G Wells.

I am yet to read this superb work of science fiction written by the legendary H G Wells in 1895. It’s amazing to note how he managed to write such an excellent plot as in those days, the concept of Time Travel could hardly be imagined. Can’t wait to read this masterpiece. According to a small blurb inspired by Wikipedia, the story is based on the concept of Time Travel. The storyteller describes how the Traveler  explained to his regular dinner guests that  time is only a fourth dimension and shows  them a tabletop model device for travelling  through it. When he returns for dinner the next week, he tells an amazing story and takes on the role of the new narrator after revealing that he  has created a device that can transport a  person through time. Time Traveler tries his device in the new  story. He initially believes nothing has changed,  but he quickly realises he travelled five  hours into the future. As he moves on,  he notices that his house has vanished and  has been replaced with a verdant garden.  The Time Traveler makes a stop in  A.D. 802,701, where he encounters a society of  diminutive, elegant, and childlike adults  known as the Eloi.

The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I read this book a long time ago. I would like to read it again. The story is about Gabriel John Utterson, who is a lawyer in London, investigating a series of crime that center around his old friend Dr. Henry Jekyll and a sinister psychopath, Edward Hyde.

Amazon

The Black Cat : A Short Story by Edgar Allan Poe.

This is another book that I wish to read. It’s a horror cum thriller. It’s about the narrator and his black cat and his transformation from an animal lover to a cold blooded murderer. I already read The Murders in the Rue Morgue which was soooo exciting and fabulous. Edgar Allan Poe was a literary genius.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.

Jules Verne is my favorite French Author. When it comes to science fiction, H G Wells and Jules Verne , both are master storytellers. This is such a book that I would not mind reading twice.

The story is set in 1866 when the ships from different countries report seeing a mystery sea creature that they assume to be a giant Narhwal . The US Government arranges for an expedition to find out and hunt down the monster terrorizing the sea. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist, and also the narrator of the story is selected for this mission along with Canadian whaler and master harpooner Ned Land and Aronnax’s faithful manservant Conseil .

I am planning to read some more classics which I will share next week.
