I think 'The Great Gatsby' can be considered as such. It explores themes like the American Dream, wealth, and unrequited love. These are themes that are not limited to the era in which it was written. The story's exploration of the hollowness of the wealthy lifestyle and the pursuit of something unattainable is something that can be applied to different times and cultures.
Another example is 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. It deals with issues of racism, justice, and moral growth. These are topics that are unfortunately still relevant in today's society. The story of Scout's journey in understanding the world around her and the fight for justice for Tom Robinson is a powerful narrative that has the potential to be relevant for a long time to come.
One example could be 'Pride and Prejudice'. It was written in the 19th century but is still highly relevant today. The themes of love, class differences, and first impressions are things that people still experience and can understand. The relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is a classic example of a love story that has a kind of timeless quality.
I think '1984' by George Orwell is a 'now and forever novel'. Its dystopian vision of a totalitarian society was ahead of its time when it was written. And even now, we can see elements of the surveillance and control depicted in the book in our modern world. The ideas are still novel as we are constantly reminded of the importance of privacy and freedom. The way Orwell crafted the world and the characters makes it a novel that will always be relevant and new in its own way.
The story of Noah's Ark could be a 'forever story'. It's a religious and cultural narrative that has endured for a very long time. It's a story about survival, faith, and new beginnings. People keep coming back to it in different forms, whether in religious teachings, children's books, or even in modern - day movies that re - imagine the story. It's a story that has a universal appeal and has managed to stay relevant throughout the ages.
Sure. History can be seen as 'forever a novel'. There are countless stories of different civilizations, their rises and falls, the wars, the cultural developments. And as we keep researching and discovering new things about the past, new 'chapters' are added to this grand 'novel' of history.
One example could be the story of Romeo and Juliet. Despite the feud between their families and all the difficulties they faced, their love was so strong that it was almost like a 'love you forever' kind of love, though unfortunately, it ended tragically.
Another example could be the Amityville Horror House. There's a famous horror story about that house being haunted. Since the story became well - known, the house is forever linked to that terrifying ghost story. People often think of it as a place full of supernatural events because of the story.
A story of a hero's sacrifice could be an example. If a hero gives their life for a noble cause, like saving a whole village from a great danger. That story of selfless sacrifice can be seen as a 'forever is true full story'. The truth of the hero's courage and the full story of what they did will always be there, and it will always be true.
One well - known split time novel is 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. In this book, the story jumps between different times in the lives of the main characters, Henry, who has a genetic disorder that causes him to time - travel involuntarily, and Clare, his wife. The time - traveling aspect means that the narrative moves between different points in their relationship, from their first meeting when Clare was a child and Henry was an adult time - traveler, to their later years together.
One example could be 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. Although it involves time travel, the way the story is told has elements of backward time. The events are not always presented in a straightforward chronological order, and there are parts where we learn about the future first and then see how it affects the past and present.
A 'be time story' might be about a family. In the past, they 'be'longed to a small community and had a simple life. As time progresses, they move to a big city. There, they experience new things, face new problems, and grow as a family. Their story of adapting and changing over time is a 'be time story'.
John Grisham's legal thrillers often have elements of a 'time bomb novel'. For instance, in some of his books, the lawyers have a very limited time to build a case and prove their client's innocence. The courtroom drama is intensified by the time pressure, much like a time bomb waiting to go off. If they don't present their evidence in time, their client will be wrongly convicted, which is like the 'explosion' in a time bomb scenario.
