Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen

Vivid characters, elegant prose, and sharp insight into human relationships make this an enduring classic that continues to enchant readers around the world.
The Cherry Orchard
Anton Chekhov
One of the greatest works of classic literature, this play captures the spirit of Russian society at the turn of the 20th century. Chekhov portrays people caught in a moment of sweeping change, exploring love, loss, hope, and illusion. Through his lucid, understated style, he lays bare deep human emotion — leaving a lasting impression on readers.
Girl with a Pearl Earring
Tracy Chevalier
A captivating journey into the world of art and mystery, set during the golden age of Dutch painting, where every brushstroke seems to come alive with its own story. Tracy Chevalier’s masterful prose invites us into the imagined life of the girl in Johannes Vermeer’s famous portrait. Blending historical drama, mystery, and human passion, the novel creates an atmosphere that lingers — making us wonder about the secrets hidden behind great art.
Aimez-vous Brahms?
Françoise Sagan
Some call this novel overly melodramatic, but it captures what a woman truly feels with remarkable clarity. It opens her soul like a keepsake box, laying out its contents delicately, one by one. Maybe that’s what it means to write “in the French style.” The novel poses a beautiful question: What is a woman? A tangle of restless emotion? Bitterness, melancholy, longing… love? Must we suffer in order to love?
