About this series

Modern Library Classics is a paperback edition line from Modern Library — an imprint founded in 1917 and now part of Random House — not a narrative series. Launched in 2000, it reprints treasured classics, volumes of essential writings, and major translations of great works from around the globe, and runs to several hundred titles by unrelated authors. The books here share a publisher and a design, not a story, a world or a reading order, so they are unnumbered and can be read in any order.
