These are great but they are not classic and not public domain.

In all honesty, its one of the most well written, plot developed historical fiction I have ever read.

If you're up to it, Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov are arguably the best novels ever written.

The cantebury tales by Chaucer is good.

Beowulf is a good read

The inferno

Paradise lost
The Oedipus series
Iilead

For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway

The Call of the Wild - Jack London

Lord of the Flies - Golding

East of Eden - Steinbeck

 

[volinbham]

echo the Steinbeck and Dumas (3 Muskateers is also good)

 

[81Bubbavol]

Les Miserables - Victor Hugo (Prisoner escapes and builds a life dedicated to paying back the kindness shown him by a priest amidst the French Revolution)
