Household Tales Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, tradotto da Margaret Hunt English
You’ll like these for their blunt, eerie storytelling, where a forest can feel genuinely dangerous and a talking animal may be wiser than the people around it. Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, and Ashenputtel still have a strange sharpness, though the violence and abrupt endings make this better for a taste of folklore than bedtime comfort.
Passages from the Life of a Philosopher Charles Babbage English
Babbage is cranky, brilliant, and completely unable to stay on topic, so you get the Analytical Engine one chapter and a war on London's organ grinders the next. If you enjoy an eccentric Victorian mind wandering wherever it pleases, this is good company; skip it if you want tidy memoir.
The Gadfly Ethel Voynich English
If you can forgive some Victorian melodrama, the slow-burn wound between Arthur and Padre Montanelli, a priest he loves and can't forgive, will wreck you in the best way. It's a revolutionary adventure on the surface and a story about betrayed faith underneath.
