Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe", which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. A New Voyage Round the World is a narrative fiction of a merchant ship`s captain who sails east via the Cape of Good Hope, landing at various ports until they arrive off the western coast of South America. Once they arrive in Chile, the captain decides to test the theory that the Andes can be crossed by foot by sending a group of his men across the continent.

A Pair of Blue Eyes is celebrated for its central scene which shocked and stimulated Victorian readers. Forever after it caused Hardy to be embroiled in arguments concerning the sexual morality of his novels in which he strove to show the stifling effects of social conventions on the human spirit. Rich with biographical echoes, this novel reveals the full emergence of the schematic ironies which characterize Hardy`s later great works, and gives a suggestion of the tragic philosophy that came to dominate all he wrote. The loving nature of the heroine, Elfride Swancourt, pervades this novel, which has a singular unpolished charm.

James Joyce, full name James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (1882–1941) - a famous Irish novelist. He is noted for his experimental use of language and exploration of new literary methods in such large works of fiction as Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939). A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce’s first novel. Written in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, who comes to realize that before he can become an artist, he must rid himself of the overarching effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his background. He questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions.
