The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne Our Price: FREE If you missed this one in high school, don't worry, it's a fascinating read at any age! The Scarlet Letter is a tragic tale of the suffering one young woman faces when her Puritan community discovers that she is guilty of adultery. Daisy Miller by Henry James Our Price: FREE A vivid portrayal of Americans abroad and a telling encounter between the values of the Old and New Worlds, Daisy Miller is a simple story of a young American girl's willful yet innocent flirtation with a young Italian, and its unfortunate consequences. My Ántonia by Willa Cather Our Price: FREE This portrait of an eastern European immigrant settled in Nebraska creates a lasting image of prairie culture, seen through the eyes of a narrator looking back on the rich experiences of his youth. Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton Our Price: FREE Set in the harsh New England farmlands and told in flashback by a narrator, here is the story of the inexorable fall of a decent, rough-hewn man, ironically drawn by his most pure and beautiful feelings -- his love for his wife's cousin, the gentle and sweet young Mattie. The Awakening by Kate Chopin Our Price: FREE Discontented with her comfortable but stagnant marriage, a New Orleans woman on vacation with her family meets several remarkable women and two desirable men who set her off on a different and difficult path: to live according to her own needs rather than in accordance with the rigid standards of society. First published in 1899, this book was rediscovered in the 1960s and pronounced a feminist classic for its open treatment of a woman's search for self-understanding. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe Our Price: FREE The narrative drive of Stowe's classic novel is often overlooked in the heat of the controversies surrounding its antislavery sentiments. In fact, it is a compelling adventure story with richly drawn stories and has earned a place in both literary and American history. Walden by Henry David Thoreau Our Price: FREE Thoreau's classic work, Walden, emerged from his two years living on land he rented near Walden Pond in Massachusetts. His observations of his surroundings have provided inspiration for countless lovers of literature and nature. The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane Our Price: FREE The Red Badge of Courage is a moving description of a young soldier who tries to stay alive and sane amid the horrors of war. Active Service by Stephen Crane Our Price: FREE Active Service is another of Stephen Crane's classic works, written four years after The Red Badge of Courage. A Lost Lady by Willa Cather Our Price: FREE Willa Cather's classic A Lost Lady is a moving description of the early history of Nebraska. Readers are given insight into the decline of the American frontier as seen through the eyes of Marian Forrester, a fascinating and unconventional woman. A Whisper in the Dark by Louisa May Alcott Our Price: FREE A Whisper in the Dark, arguably Alcott's high-gothic masterpiece, is a story of imperiled innocence. It displays dramatic intensity and a thrilling, suspenseful plot that shows Alcott to be a complex and passionate writer. Readers will discover within this maelstrom of murder, deceit, obsessive desire, treachery, duplicity, and betrayal that love and honor can still conquer all. Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville Our Price: FREE Bartleby the Scrivener is a lesser-known short tale by Herman Melville. It presents the moral allegory of a clerk working in a law office in New York during the 19th century. He attempts to show his employer the corruption he has perpetrated and the pain he has caused. Three Soldiers by John Dos Passos Our Price: FREE In John Dos Passos' classic tale of war, three young soldiers enter the army full of idealism and hope. War -- its tedium and destruction -- crushes each man's spirits, leaving the soldiers broken and forever altered. Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson Our Price: FREE Widely considered Anderson's masterwork, this book is a series of intertwined vignettes that reveals the secret life of a seemingly placid midwestern town and the inner desires and dreams of its residents in the early years of the 20th century. The Reef by Edith Wharton Our Price: FREE Edith Wharton's The Reef presents the American upper class in a French setting.

Iron Heel by Jack London Our Price: FREE Written in 1908, Iron Heel is a sharp social commentary. Jack London's chillingly realistic novel prophesies the fall of the United States to the totalitarian dictatorship of a group of capitalists called "The Iron Heel." The struggle of the working class as they revolt anticipates the political upheaval of the 1930s. Red Eve by H. Rider Haggard Our Price: FREE After a dark, mysterious preface filled with murder and mayhem, this suspenseful romance of fourteenth-century England follows the exploits of its protagonists, "Red" Eve Clavering and her cousin Hugh de Cressi. They are hopelessly in love, but Eve is engaged to wed an aristocratic Frenchman, and the two struggle to find a way to remain together.
