It beautifully balances grand epics (War and Peace, Les Misérables) with intense psychological studies (Crime and Punishment) and foundational romantic/social critiques (Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights). Highlighting Don Quixote as the first modern novel and including the cautionary tale of Dorian Gray makes this truly comprehensive. A perfect reading list for any literary enthusiast!
