People have read books many times as a source of entertainment. However, only those publications with stories that transcend time, human experiences and culture can stand out as true classics. Another great quality about such work is their plot, emotional connection, character and conflict. Authors just know how to come up with great setting for their work to outdo others in the market. Even old good reads can fit the new classic books category due to their timelessness.
Take some time to discover the following examples of classics, keeping in mind that, even old classics are still considered new because of their timeless qualities. For adults, a range of classic books clamor for attention. Here are some of the choices out there; this is by no means an exhaustive list.
A great one is the novel, The Poisonwood Bible, written by Barbara Kingslover. Its setting is in Belgian Congo in the year 1959. In this piece, Nathan Price is on a mission to snatch uncivilized souls in this country, Congo, from eternal fire. Accompanied by his four young daughters and wife, his efforts are frustrated as the country witness tragic political fallout with Belgium. The fiery Baptism missionary and family is trapped in this bloody fallout.
Other celebrated classics are collections of short stories by Lorrie Moore, Alice Munro and Jhumpa Lahiri. These authors have put together the Birds of America, Selected stories and Interpreter of Maladies respectively. These are among the best classics one can talk about today.
An interesting read is the novel Life of Pi written by Yann Martel. In this book, Pi Patel, a sixteen-year-old boy, and his family board a Japanese cargo ship to leave behind their old lives in India and begin new ones in North America. His father, a zookeeper, brings aboard his zoo animals. Pi possesses a vast knowledge of animal behavior and a voracious appetite for stories. When tragedy strikes and the ship sinks, Pi ends up in a lifeboat accompanied by wild animals only. Among them is an injured zebra, 450-pound Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger, an orangutan, and a hyena.
Pi relies on his knowledge of tiger behaviour to escape death from claws of Parker. The surprising bit is that they later coexist at the sea for close to 230 days. However, Parker gets lost into the jungle once they reach the coast of Mexico. Pi is questioned by Japanese authorities on his extraordinary survival only to realize that they do not agree with his account. This leaves him with no choice but to make up a story that they could believe. Readers have to discover on their own if this could be the true encounter.
Young adults have plenty of choices available for them too. From the long-time classics like The Chronicles of Narnia, The Giver and The Diary of Anne Frank to recent pieces like The Book Thief and Harry Potter Series, any person out in search of a good book will not lack one.
Both young and old readers have plenty of choices in the market today. Visit a book store in your area and check what they have. You could also find both hard and soft copy materials online for your favorite book.
