Classics, The Original Page-Turners

Some books never go out of style. This collection gathers the stories everyone should read at least once, from the wit of Jane Austen to the glamour of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the spare, powerful prose of Ernest Hemingway. Generations of readers have been shaped by these books, and they feel as relevant today as when they were first written.

Classics are having a moment. In just the last year, Christopher Nolan has brought Homer's The Odyssey to the big screen, Emerald Fennell has reimagined Wuthering Heights, and Netflix is adapting East of Eden and Pride and Prejudice. Read the book before you see the film, or rediscover an old favourite. Either way, this is the place to start.
