The Best of Vintage Classics Collection is a boxset of five of the greatest novels ever written in English. Discover a satire of the madness of war, a genre-bending literary quest, a visionary dystopia, a tortured love affair and a gangster thriller – all the finest examples of their genre. Titles in this boxset: Catch-22 by Joseph Heller: Set in the closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley: Set in a future World State, where technology and conditioning have created a superficially perfect world and citizens are engineered and conditioned for specific roles, devoid of individuality and free will. The story follows Bernard Marx and Lenina Crowne as they navigate a controlled existence. If On A Winter's Night A Traveller by Italo Calvino: Calvino's masterpiece opens with a scene that's reassuringly commonplace: apparently. Indeed, it's taking place now. A reader goes into a bookshop to buy a book: not any book, but the latest Calvino, the book you are holding in your hands. Or is it? Are you the reader? Is this the book? Beware. All assumptions are dangerous on this most bewitching switch-back ride to the heart of storytelling. Brighton Rock by Graham Greene: A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Greene's gripping thriller exposes a world of loneliness and fear, of life lived on the 'dangerous edge of things.' Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham: Maugham's 1915 masterpiece is the coming-of-age story of a sensitive young man consumed by an unrequited passion. Of Human Bondage is a brilliant and deeply moving portrayal of the price of passion and the universal desire for connection.
