Loved it
I've read the book before but the Barnes and Noble version has all these extra info that help you understand and analyze the story better. Great buy.

The Age of Innocence (Barnes & Noble Classics)

12 reviews
Edith Wharton

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

Wharton's Masterpiece
Edith Wharton escapes from a tendency to melodrama (a problem of her era) to create her masterpiece novel "Age of Innocence." Set in post-Civil War New York, she deliniates the mores and customs of the New York Social List with care and depth. Newland Archer is the protagonist, a true Greek tragic hero with a flaw. While Newland is a most upright, conventional young man, he harbors an urge to ...

Northanger Abbey (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Jane Austen

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

A must-read
A delightful satire of the gothic genre, Austen's "Northanger Abbey" will delight gothic and Victorian enthusiasts alike.

The Jungle (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics)

12 reviews
Upton Sinclair

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Great Book
It was kind of a dark book in that it seems like nothing goes right for Jurgis, but it keeps you captivated because you keep wanting something to go right for him so that he can obtain the American dream. One of my favorites.

Frederick Douglass

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

Worth Every Penny
I needed this book for an 11th grade summer assignment so I decided to purchase this version of the book. I loved how the price was good, and I loved the extra bits of information at the beginning of the book (like the timeline). I suggest anyone intrested in reading this book purchase this version...it definately was worth it!

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Oscar Wilde

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Beautiful and witty
This is a beautiful and witty tale about a depraved man. His ugly soul is mirrored by his ever-changing portrait while he retains his youthful visage. Suspenseful throughout. A classic.

Emma (Barnes & Noble Classics)

1 review
Jane Austen

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

witty, enjoyable read
I can never decide whether Pride and Prejudice or Emma is my favourite book by Jane Austen. Emma has all the Jane Austen hallmarks - wit, exuberance, and laugh out loud moments, coupled with realistic, well drawn characters and a real feeling of being in the Regency (which is hardly surprising, as that's when the book was written). Emma is a spoiled young woman who has everything she can possibly ...

Walden and Civil Disobedience (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Henry David Thoreau

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

He heard a different drummer- The sun is but a morning star
Thoreau is more than simply a writer who produced a great American classic. He exemplified the idea which perhaps as much as any other has come to be at the heart of the American creed. "If a man does not keep pace to his companion, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Throreau when he went into the woods of ...

Gulliver's Travels (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics)

2 reviews
Jonathan Swift

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Beautiful Edition
There is no need for me to go into what a marvelous and timeless classic "Guliver's Travels" is. The satire, while nearly 300 hundred years old, is as fresh today as it was in the 1720s. What I will say about this particular edition is that it is very beautifully done. (If you can get the hardcover edition instead of the softcover, all the better.) The typeset, color engravings and supplemental ...

The Scarlet Letter (Barnes & Noble Classics)

3 reviews
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

Good Book, Perfect Match
This book was well written by its author, Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is considered one of the classics, hence the reason that we read it in AP Lang. But I was most impressed with the price, quality, and speediness of the delivery and book. I was also very happy to see that it was the same version that my whole class had, despite that version's absence from numerous bookstores in my area. Thank ...

Sense and Sensibility (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics)

3 reviews
Jane Austen

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Excellence & Erudition
I picked up this book largely due to fond memories of Pride and Prejudice (Enriched Classics), but I found Sense & Sensibility is an excellent novel in its own right. I'm not sure why, but I was worried that it might be a bit dry. I needn't have been concerned, as the wit and story both sparkle from the first few pages and it only gets better as it goes along. The basic plot involves two ...

Pride and Prejudice (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice
I would definitely recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a great classic with witty characters and an excellent love story.

Mansfield Park (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)

1 review
Jane Austen

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

Excellent
I think this is my favorite Jane Austen book so far, although I still have Persuasion and Northanger Abbey to read. Most Austen fans would not count Mansfield Park as a favorite, though, at least from what I've heard. It's not that it's a profoundly different book from the more popular Pride & Prejudice or Sense & Sensibility, but many people seem to dislike the main character, or at least are ...

The History of the Peloponnesian War (Barnes & Noble Classics)

3 reviews
Thucydides

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2006

Greatest of All Greek Historians
The greatest of all Greek historians was the Athenian general Thucydides (455-400 B.C.E.). Thucydides' classic work, "History Of The Peloponnesian War", provides us with the historical framework for 5th century Greece, a golden age of intellectual achievement and creativity rarely equaled in human history. This history is by far the best account of the bitter war between Athens and Sparta as ...

Dracula (Barnes & Noble Classics)

4 reviews
Bram Stoker

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

It sucks
"Dracula" was not the first vampire novel, nor was it Bram Stoker's first book. But after years of research, Stoker managed to craft the ultimate vampire novel, which has spawned countless movies, spinoffs, and books that follow the blueprint of the Transylvanian count. Real estate agent Jonathan Harker arrives in Transylvania, to arrange a London house sale to Count Dracula. But as the days ...

Robinson Crusoe (Barnes & Noble Classics)

2 reviews
Daniel Defoe

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

Exponentially engrossing and exciting
Even though it was written almost 300 years ago, it's still a very releveant and worthwhile read. Everyone knows the basic story of Robinson Crusoe - man stranded on deserted tropical island for over 20 years befriended by "his man Friday". But there is much more to the story that few are aware of. For instance - Crusoe was not a sailor, but rather a plantation owner on a mission to procure ...

Pride and Prejudice (Barnes & Noble Classics)

3 reviews
Jane Austen

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

It's all about the author
I can imagine that Elizabeth Bennet (Lizzy) is Jane Austen herself, couldn't you? Jane Austen is a wonderful writer. She deserves much praise. With extraordinary insight into feelings and actions of characters. She does a good job of making each character distinct and well defined. The Bantam Classic edition of all of the classics is much better then the Barnes and Noble version. You must ...

The Souls of Black Folk (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics)

W. E. B. Du Bois

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

Speaks The Truth To Power
In 1903, two years after Booker T. Washington's autobiography, "Up from Slavery", W.E.B. Du Bois published "The Souls of Black Folk", a series of essays which today most consider a seminal work in African-American Sociology literature. Du Bois view of race relations in American at the dawn of the 20th century was clear, critical and deeply profound. Throughout the fourteen chapters Du Bois ...

Theodore Dreiser

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

Fractured Fairy Tale and/or Horror Story on Capitalism
"Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth." Mahatma Gandhi "She (Carrie Meeber) wanted pleasure, she wanted position, and yet she was confused as to what these things might be." p. 145 "Sister Carrie" Critics may scoff at the immorality of the main characters, the persistently subtle, yet always stinging slams at ...
