A Simple Heart
Gustave Flaubert

This heart-breaking tale of a simple servant woman and her life-long search for love meant something else to Flaubert.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket
Edgar Allan Poe

Poe drew on many contemporary accounts of exploration in the South Seas to give his story a sense of verisimilitude. But there are far deeper currents at work in the book than mere adventure.
