Tristram Shandy, written by Laurence Sterne , 2001

This book illustrates the life of a writer, Tristram Shandy. Sterne unravels the story of the strange family and friends of Shandy in a way that ignores any plot, cause and effect, or conclusion. Romantist poets deemed this work ― which provided new understanding on human nature with a revolutionary style ― to be a ‘holy book.’

Tamburlaine the Great | The Jew of Malta | Doctor Faustus, written by Christopher Marlowe , 2002

The best plays of Christopher Marlowe, the writer who led Renaissance Britain with Shakespeare. These masterpieces dramatically show the transition of thoughts and values in Renaissance ― the age which was also the cultural peak ― of all Western Europe, not just Britain.

Pilgrims to the West, written by Wu Cheng’en , 2003

Classics full of satire, humor, romance and wit!
“Pilgrims to the West” is not a simple nursery rhyme or a fantasy novel. This fantastic story is the result of Chinese romanticism literature accumulated for one thousand years.
