Penguin USA. 06/01/1977. Reprint. Joyce's bildungsroman--his first novel--traces the development of Stephen Daedalus, Joyce's alter ego. In order to pursue his artistic calling, Stephen, like Joyce, must reject his family, religion, and native land. At the end of the novel, Stephen is about to forsake Dublin for Paris. Joyce, in PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST, was an early practitioner of the stream-of-consciousness technique, by means of which Stephen's interior life and growing self-awareness are rendered directly, so that the reader has access not only to his conscious thoughts but to his unconscious as well.

Harcourt School. 01/01/1997. 348 pgs. Twain spent seven years writing HUCKLEBERRY FINN--the book Hemingway claimed is the basis for all American fiction. The story of Huck's and Jim's quest for freedom on a raft on the Mississippi provides a panoramic view of Southern society, which Twain saw as beset by greed, violence, and coldhearted brutality in the guise of virtue. At the end of the book, Huck definitively abandons the hypocrisy and cant on which he has been raised when he makes the shocking decision to go to hell rather than betray his friend Jim and send him back to slavery. The book has been banned from time to time, beginning with its publication in 1885, when it was deemed too subversive for children, until the late 20th century when, despite its compassionate attitude toward blacks and is violent denunciation of slavery, it has been branded racist because of Twain's use of dialect and "offensive" language. In addition to its message of tolerance and understanding, HUCKLEBERRY FINN continues to be read, talked about, and loved by readers of all ages because it's a cracking good coming-of-age story full of vivid characters and hilarious events --and because Twain's relentlessly clear-eyed angle of vision sees beneath the foibles and absurdities of humanity to the common ground that we all share.

Penguin USA. 11/01/1994. Dickens's second novel was a far cry from THE PICKWICK PAPERS, his first. The story of an orphan who flees the workhouse only to fall in with a gang of thieves and prostitutes in London's sleazy underworld, it was a trenchant criticism of England's poor laws. Enacted in the 1830s, these laws provided assistance for the poor only through workhouses, which were deliberately squalid and miserable to encourage the poor--who were considered lazy and immoral--to better themselves and get out. The inequities between rich and poor were one of Dickens's constant themes, and with OLIVER TWIST he established himself as a staunch champion of the downtrodden, particularly children. The novel also, however, has its cheerful moments, and contains some of Dickens's most memorable characters, including Fagin, the Artful Dodger, the evil Bill Sykes, and the unfortunate Nancy.

Penguin USA. 01/01/1996. Reprint. 268 pgs. THIS SIDE OF PARADISE, the novel that established F. Scott Fitzgerald as the voice of his generation, was written while he was in the army, extensively revised, and finally published in 1920 when he was only 23 years old. The young "romantic egoist" Amory Blaine--vain, shallow, and self-absorbed--whose progress from prep school to Princeton frequently parallels Fitzgerald's own life, is the quintessential youth of the postwar "Lost Generation." Fitzgerald's unsparing portrait of a young man who takes himself far too seriously makes THIS SIDE OF PARADISE one of his most endearing and entertaining books. Upon its publication, Fitzgerald became an instant literary superstar, and this early fame--and his inability to mature--helped bring about the downfall, only 20 years later, of a major American writer.

Simon & Schuster. 06/01/1999. Reissue. 127 pgs. In language of great simplicity and power, Hemingway tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck--he hasn't caught a fish in 84 days--who goes out in his small skiff one more time. This time he hooks a huge marlin. During his relentless ordeal, a long and agonizing battle with the marlin far out in the Gulf Stream, the old man faces long days of hunger and exhaustion, his courage and his respect for his adversary never flagging. The man is old and tired and at the end of his life, but he remains the archetypical Hemingway hero who refuses to accept defeat. THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, considered one of Hemingway's best novels, is also his shortest, a mere 27,000 words. It originally appeared in Life magazine in August, 1952, two weeks before it was published in book form. In a statement, Hemingway commented that, with this book, "It's as though I had gotten finally what I had been working for all my life," and claimed that he wanted to make it accessible to people who might not ordinarily be able to afford to buy a book: the Life version was 20 cents, the hardcover book three dollars.

Penguin USA. 06/01/1995. Reissue. The tale of the orphan, Pip, and his mysterious benefactor provides a grotesque but pointed comedy that explores the many levels of English society with insight and sympathy as well as a satiric eye. Considered by many to be Dickens's best novel, GREAT EXPECTATIONS is the story of a young man who rises out of a rough, deprived childhood to a life in which his expectations--or some of them--are fulfilled: he is a gentleman and a success, though he soon finds that happiness doesn't necessarily accompany money and position. The novel is full of fascinating scenes and characters, among them the coldhearted Estella, the vengeful and dotty Miss Havisham, Joe Gargery the noble blacksmith, the ever-lovable Herbert Pocket, and of course Magwitch, the grotesque and terrifying but ultimately benevolent convict, one of Dickens's most vital creations. As the compelling plot progresses, Pip's fortunes rise and fall, and he slowly gains in wisdom, learning to value what is important and to abandon most of his illusions. But the moral of the story is never heavy-handed or didactic, and in telling his tale, Dickens epitomizes all the best qualities for which he became famous: a comic vision, an inventive imagination, and a bountiful appreciation for the wonderful variety and boundless possibility inherent in the most ordinary humans.

Penguin USA. 10/01/1995. Reissue. First published in 1903, REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM tells the tale of the downtrodden but ever-optimistic Rebecca Rowena Randall. Left penniless when her father dies, Rebecca is taken in by her two aunts--the stern Aunt Miranda and the kindly Aunt Jane. Although Aunt Miranda initially finds Rebecca's presence overwhelming and dislikable, she is slowly but surely won over by Rebecca's kind heart and sweet nature. While living with the aunts, Rebecca meets Adam Ladd, an older man (28 to Rebecca's 12) whom she nicknames "Mr. Aladdin." Adam soon becomes Rebecca's patron, supporting her through school and showering her with gifts. The book concludes with Rebecca graduating--and, although she begins to take on the responsibilities of adulthood, she still has the sunny optimism and innocence of a child.

Harpercollins. 10/01/2001. 401 pgs. In a small Texas town in 1942, an African-American (known in those days as "nigra") church is burned to the ground by a group of high-school pranksters. Frosty Summers is one of them, and her failure to speak out haunts her years later when she returns to her hometown with her part-Navajo boyfriend and finds that his life is in danger because the locals--who haven't changed--consider him to be "colored."
