Classic fiction books may have been written long ago, but they have a special magic to them that makes them feel modern and relevant whenever you read them. Each one became famous for its quality and ability to stand the test of time, which is why modern readers still opt for these beloved titles in droves.
Booktopia is proud to stock a wide range of classic fiction books.
Renowned Classic Fiction Books
Any reader will dip their toes into classic fiction books from time to time. While many begin reading these novels in high school, others will revisit or pick them up in adulthood and discover exactly why so many adorn lists of all-time top reads.
A must-read for any classic fan is 1984 by George Orwell. This iconic piece of fiction introduced the world to concepts such as the ‘Thought Police’ and ‘Doublethink’, as well as ‘Big Brother’, all of which remain relevant in modern society more than 70 years after its initial release.
Charles Dickens is another household name when it comes to classic fiction books. From A Tale of Two Cities to Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, Dickens is known for his satirical social commentary, with an abundance of puns, wordplay, and memorable characters. There’s little wonder why his works are still so celebrated today.
Classic Fiction Books Boxed Sets
Want to get lost in a series, or read through a collection of a famous author’s works? A classic fiction boxed set offers a beautiful, matching set of books.
The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set is a stunning addition to any shelf, especially for anyone who loves reading through classic books or enjoys high fantasy. These books have sold approximately 150 million copies around the world, making them one of the most beloved classic sets of all time.
A Hemingway Boxed Set is another great option. This set includes four classic fiction books by the author, including; The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway’s works are referenced throughout modern literature and pop culture, so anyone who reads them can enjoy picking up those references in each book.
