'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a great historical fiction. Set in Puritan New England, it delves into themes of sin, guilt, and redemption. The story of Hester Prynne, who is forced to wear a scarlet 'A' for adultery, is a powerful exploration of the strict moral code of the era.

Well, there's also 'Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe. This book tells the story of a man stranded on a deserted island. It was based on real - life accounts of shipwrecked sailors. It gives a great sense of the 18th - century seafaring life and the challenges of survival in a harsh environment.

Sure. 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes is an excellent choice. It's a satirical take on the chivalric romances of the time. The story of the deluded knight Don Quixote and his loyal squire Sancho Panza is both humorous and thought - provoking, while also giving insights into 17th - century Spanish society.

Well, for one, they often have a unique perspective. They were writing closer to the events they were depicting, so they had access to first - hand accounts or at least stories passed down. For example, if we take Victor Hugo and his 'Les Misérables', set during the French Revolution and its aftermath. He was able to capture the mood, the struggles of the people, and the political climate in a very vivid way. This closeness to the source material gives their works a sense of authenticity.

Sure. 'Frankenstein' is a great one. It was way ahead of its time in terms of exploring the idea of creating life artificially. Then there's 'The Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells. It's a fascinating look at what it would be like to be invisible and the moral and practical implications.

For beginners, I'd recommend 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'. It's a fun and light - hearted story about a boy's mischievous adventures in a small town. It gives a good sense of Mark Twain's writing style. 'Black Beauty' is also a nice option. It's told from the perspective of a horse, which is a unique and interesting way to tell a story. It also has a moral undertone that is easy to pick up on. 'Anne of Green Gables' is another great beginner - friendly public domain novel. It's about an orphan girl who goes to live on a farm and her endearing adventures there.
