Great English Literature Classics Bundle, 5 in 1 Bundle: Wuthering Heights, Robinson Crusoe, Heart of Darkness, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Much Ado About Nothing Here is your chance to listen to the best and most memorable classic English literature works and it's all at a special price. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them. Wuthering Heights is romantic, impassioned and wild, but it is also a dark journey in the human soul. Robinson Crusoe is said to be based on the real-life experiences of Scottish castaway Alexander Selkirk who lived on an island called Mas a Tierra for four years. Shipwrecked and castaway, Daniel DeFoe's hard-luck character is still the standard for "growing where you're planted." It has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, inspiring not only in literature but also in film, television, and radio. Heart of Darkness is a story within a story in which the character Charles Marlow relates his experience to fellow seafarers aboard a boat floating on the River Thames. It talks about the horrors of Western colonialism but what is really emphasized in this work is the idea that there is little difference between 'civilized people'' and 'savages.' Heart of Darkness is considered one of the best novels in the 20th century. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. Much Ado About Nothing is one of the best known works by William Shakespeare. The play is very popular and it continues to be one of Shakespeare's most performed plays to this date.

The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and was first published in 1850. The story is about Hester Prynne who conceives a daughter through an affair and her struggles on how to live her life of repentance and dignity. Hester was forced to wear a letter A in her clothes as a badge of shame for what she did. The main themes of the novel were shaming and social stigmatizing, sin, guilt, and ultimately redemption. The Scarlet Letter is one of the first mass-produced books in America and is considered a masterpiece of American literature and a classic moral study. The book's immediate and lasting success is largely due to the way it addressed the spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint and it remains relevant today for its philosophical and psychological depth and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.

The Scarlet Letter

First published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter is Nathaniel Hawthorne's masterpiece and one of the greatest American novels. Its themes of sin, guilt, and redemption, woven through a story of adultery in the early days of the Massachusetts Colony, are revealed with remarkable psychological penetration and understanding of the human heart. The book's immediate and lasting success are due to the way it addresses spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risque subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthorne's literary genius, dense with terse descriptions. It remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.

The Prince

There have been many political philosophies published throughout the time of literate man, but few have made such an impact as Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. This novel is considered the all-time best book on political strategy. It has of late become a much-referred-to book for all competitive situations. Machiavelli's name is associated closely with his philosophy, as he well deserves.

A Study in Scarlet

A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder. The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history. The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.

Siddhartha

Siddhartha is one of the great philosophical novels. Profoundly insightful, it is also a beautifully written story that begins as Siddhartha, son of an Indian Brahman, leaves his family and begins a lifelong journey towards Enlightenment. On the way he faces the entire range of human experience and emotion: he lives with ascetics, meets Gotama the Buddha, learns the art of love from Kamala the courtesan, and is transformed by the simple philosophy of the ferryman Vasudeva whose wisdom comes not from learned teachings but from observing the River. Herman Hesse (1877-1962) was a German-Swiss novelist, poet, and painter. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946.
