The Classic book Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell. The manner in which this novel came together is very interesting. First off, the story was published in the Cornhill Magazine in various parts over the course of two years: 1864-1866. Then the author passed away right before it was finished. So a new author, Frederick Greenwood had to complete the story. That which revolves around the young Molly Gibson which is being raised by father.

The Classic book The Crucible by Arthur Miller. This play uses the Salem witch trials, as comparisons to the McCarthy government which “hunted” down suspect communists in the USA. Miller himself was even questioned and convicted under similar circumstances.

Rabindranath Tagore | Drama Classics
Rating:
THE ORIGINAL BOOKS COLLECTION. Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), was a Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric personality, flowing hair, and other-worldly dress earned him a prophet-like reputation in the West. His "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit.
