Classic books across fiction, myth, philosophy and modern literature
What’s here: this Classics category covers a fairly wide idea of “classic.” You can find ancient texts, philosophy, poetry, Gothic writing, major 19th-century novels, and 20th-century modern classics. Stock may change, so the mix will not stay exactly the same.
In practice, that means authors such as Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Dante, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Dostoevsky, Oscar Wilde and H. G. Wells appear here, along with some non-Western classics and older religious or philosophical works. There is also some overlap with classic science fiction and speculative fiction.
If you want a broader shelf of novels that are not necessarily established classics, see Fiction. If you are mainly after suspense, detection and darker plot-driven books, Crime, Thriller & Mystery is more specific. For essays, history, philosophy and other idea-led reading outside the classics frame, try Non-Fiction.
This is not a tiny category at the moment, but it is still uneven by nature: some writers appear several times, others only once. The range can include novels, plays, myths, short stories and older thought, depending on current stock.
