The Greatest Books of the Ages

      "King Lear"by Shakespeare, "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll , "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen,"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, "Wuthering Hieghts" by Emily Bronte, "Sherlock Holmes" by Arther Doyle, "Matilda"  by Roald Dahl and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee are, in my opinion, the greatest of mankind's production. The stories these books tell are timeless. Not only did they entertain readers for generations, they also inspired many genirations of writers. As we see in "Pride & Prejudice", the main character struggles against unnecessary social customs, beneficial marriages and class distinction. The characters themselves are portrayed in a realistic manner which make the readers sympathize with them. For instance, we have Alice in "Alice in Wonderland", she is a small child who, bored of studying, drifted off to a dream land of her own creation. Although she is dreaming, we still see her struggling to remember the Mathematics and Grammar lessons she was taught, but to no success. The presentation of the plot had made millions of readers who were entranced in these novels laugh, cry and wonder. Take the case of "To Kill a Mockingbird", at the end of the book, the reader is left wondering about the meaning of humanity and how many innocent souls have been lost due racism. The lesson in these works are not to be taken lightly, for they all have an important message to convey. Specifically in "Sherlock Holmes", Mr. Holmes always says that there is no such thing as a perfect crime or an unsolvable crime and his existence alone is a prove of that. The immortality of these books is enough to prove their significance in Literature  They were not written for a simple period of time, they were written to last till the end if time.
