Hard Times Charles Dickens English
Dickens at his angriest and shortest, which helps if his usual sprawl puts you off. You get Gradgrind drilling children into little fact-machines, then watch that philosophy slowly wreck his own daughter, and Bounderby the self-made blowhard is almost worth the price alone.
The Voyage of the Beagle Charles Darwin saggistica English
Young Darwin is such good company here, riding with gauchos, poking at fossil bones in Patagonia, puzzling over Galápagos finches without knowing yet what they mean. It's a rambling travel journal, so skim freely, but his curiosity about everything is genuinely infectious.
