In the Days of the Comet H. G. Wells English
Strange one, this: half of it is Willie chasing his lost girl with a revolver through a filthy industrial England, all jealousy and coal smoke, then a comet's green haze makes everyone wake up sane. If utopias bore you, skip it, but that furious first half really stings.
The Claverings Anthony Trollope English
Harry Clavering gets jilted for a rich old lord, then finds the widow back on his doorstep just after he's engaged to someone kinder, and Trollope refuses to make him a hero or a villain. If you like watching a decent, weak man squirm honestly, this is quietly satisfying.
The Four Feathers A. E. W. Mason English
Harry Feversham gets branded a coward before he's done anything, and the book is his slow, secret answer to it, one returned feather at a time. It's earnest Edwardian adventure with a surprisingly tender heart, especially around Durrance, and it rewards a patient reader.
The Wild Duck Henrik Ibsen English
You get a darkly funny, claustrophobic family drama where Gregers Werle’s hunger for absolute truth collides with Hjalmar Ekdal’s comforting self-deceptions. The wild duck in the attic feels oddly central, and the play keeps asking whether honesty heals people or simply gives suffering a cleaner name.
