In The Man With Two Left Feet, P. G. Wodehouse invites you into a world where earnest intentions, impeccable logic, and a dash of romantic optimism collide in the most gloriously impractical ways. Here, intelligence may not save you, dignity is perpetually under threat, and even the simplest ambition can spiral into a masterpiece of comic misadventure. Wodehouse's genius lies not in what happens, but in how exquisitely it goes wrong. Expect charming absurdity, gentle satire, and that uniquely buoyant humour in which catastrophe never quite loses its elegance.

Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)—a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.

In the untamed heart of the Yukon wilderness, where icy winds howl and survival is both a brutal contest and a triumph of spirit, one dog's journey will awaken the primal instincts that lie buried beneath domesticated civility. Jack London's The Call of the Wild is not merely a tale of survival—it is an anthem to the wild, a hymn to the power of instinct, and a meditation on freedom itself. Every crack of a whip, every crunch of snow under a sled, and every flash of gold in the frozen rivers echoes a deeper truth: we are creatures of nature, and nature always calls us home.

Nowadays The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the most famous and popular novel by an American writer Mark Twain (his real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens). Huckleberry Finn is a teenager who runs away from his alcoholic father that was constantly beating him. On the way, an escaped black slave Jim, whose master was going to sell him to more cruel owners, joins him. Huck and Jim sail down the Mississippi River to Cairo in Illinois where slavery is abolished.

In the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, the line between survival and surrender is razor-thin. Jack London's To Build a Fire is more than a story; it is a stark, unforgettable confrontation with the raw power of nature and the frailty of human pride. Here, the biting cold isn't just a setting—it's an unyielding adversary, testing the limits of determination and the cost of hubris. The tale whispers of isolation so profound that silence becomes deafening, and of choices so crucial that a single misstep can spell the difference between life and death.

In the novel Tom Sawyer has several adventures, often with his friend, Huckleberry Finn.

Pollyanna is a kind novel advocating an optimistic outlook, which is summarized in a famous quote 'When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will'.

Under any circumstances Pollyanna prefers to see only their best side, taking joy in simplest things, she affects everyone around her. Hence a popular term 'Pollyannaism', or the Pollyanna Principle, a subconscious bias towards the positive.
