Treasure Island (Enriched Classics Series)

Robert Louis Stevenson

Pocket, 2005

Classic that should be mandatory reading
While Treasure Island may have its detractors (usually those who were forced to read it as children or those who cannot handle the period speech) it is certainly a classic that can delight both young and old. Stevenson make a strong effort to catch the "tune of the ...

Crime and Punishment (Enriched Classics)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Pocket, 2004

A towering work of criminal psychology
It's seldom that I root for the evildoer of a novel or movie, but Dostoyevsky definitely had me doing it with "Crime and Punishment". Early in the novel, impoverished student Raskolnikov murders two innocent older women in order to make a quick buck (and also for ...

Les Miserables (Enriched Classics)

Victor Hugo

Pocket, 1983

One of the greatest classics of all time
I'm not sure how anyone who's read through this book can rate it at less than five stars, unless he doesn't enjoy classic literature or perhaps read a poor translation. Hugo's general knowledge and genius are stupendous. He delivers coherent digressionary essays on ...

My Antonia (Enriched Classics (Pocket))

Willa Cather

Pocket, 2004

a timeless classic
While Jim Burden, an established lawyer from New York City sits on the train, returning to his childhood home in Nebraska, he recalls with melancholy his years there and his friendship with the daughter of the Bohemian immigrants - Antonia Shimerda. The narrative ...

Dracula (Enriched Classics Series)

Bram Stoker

Pocket, 2003

A True Classic
Bram Stoker's influential late-Victorian novel remains a dominant presence in the realm of horror and vampire literature. While some modern readers may have difficulty with the late 19th-century writing style, the novel itself is a rewarding experience for anyone ...

The Good Earth (Enriched Classics)

Pearl S. Buck

Pocket Books, 2005

If You Are Going to Read This Book . . .
This book does exactly what the author intended: It creates a picture of the Chinese culture right before the arrival of the revolution, providing a view of a world quite different from our own. I have read several of the negative reviews, and my advice is, if you ...

The Jungle (Enriched Classics)

Upton Sinclair

Pocket, 2004

A beautiful literary classic
Using the word "beautiful" to describe Sinclair's "The Jungle" is a bit tedious, and something of an oxymoron. I mean, let's face it: it's a down-and-dirty book, a brutally honest portrayal of Chicago's turn-of-the-century Packingtown. The novel traces Lithuanian ...

Frankenstein (Enriched Classics)

Mary Shelley

Pocket, 2004

Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
I bought this for my son for a school reading assignment. He did not like the book at all. Me, on the other hand, I liked it. I read it years & years ago but I enjoyed it the 2nd time around.

The Prince (Enriched Classic)

Niccolo Machiavelli

Pocket, 2004

A guide to gaining and maintaining power
This book was written by the famous Italian statesman Niccolo Machiavelli in 1531. This book is a classic and I was pleasantly surprised that the content was not dated and the principles translate easily into the modern worlds of business and politics. The author ...

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Enriched Classics Series)

Mark Twain

Pocket, 2007

Always
I have always received the best service when I have placed an order from you. Outstanding!!!!!

The Scarlet Pimpernel (Enriched Classic)

Emmuska Orczy

Pocket, 2004

God Save the King!
The Scarlet Pimpernel is a classic novel, though it is hard to categorize. It is part romance, part adventure, part spy thriller, and part superhero fiction. All of these elements went into the pot and the resulting stew is extremely entertaining. The book follows ...

Les Miserables (Enriched Classics)

Victor Hugo

Pocket, 2005

"Les Miserables" : Victor Hugo's grestest achievement
If you are the kind of person thirsting for the image of Man as a being to whom nothing is impossible - and to whom everything great is possible, then "Les Miserables" is the novel for you. With a few exceptions, such as Ayn Rand, there is no writer in world ...

Journey to the Center of the Earth (Enriched Classic)

Jules Verne

Pocket, 2008

aM ENJOYING THIS BOOK.
Saw the movie with my son, then bought the book. I'm reading him a chapter every night and he's digging it. So am I.

Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions (Enriched Classics)

Richard Erdoes, John (Fire) Lame Deer

Pocket, 1994

Be Careful
This oft insightful, oft hilarious, oft irreverant book is a great read. I read it first over Christmas, and now I'm reading it with many of my Navajo students. They love it for his erudition and frankness. Especially comical is his chapter "Getting Drunk, Going ...

The Awakening and Selected Stories of Kate Chopin (Enriched Classics (Pocket))

Kate Chopin

Pocket, 2004

A Must Read
Author Kate Chopin was certainly ahead of her time. These stories are as fresh as if written in the 21st century. No Victorian prude here. Also be sure to read the foreword. Her personal story will tug at the heart.
