Candide (French)

This satire is known for its sarcastic tone and swift moving plot. It was written in 1759 by Voltaire, the prolific Enlightenment philosopher, writer, playwright, and poet, known for his belief in civil liberties. The plot is about Candide, a sheltered youth tutored in optimism, who is painfully disillusioned about life as he witnesses and experiences hardships in the real world. Candide was a controversial book, as Voltaire intended and fully expected.

Une Vie (French)

The 19th century writer Maupassant was one of the fathers of the modern short story and Flaubert’s protege. His economy of style and effortless denouement were hallmarks of his writings. His clever plots served as models for subsequent writers. Une Vie was published in 1883, during the most productive phase of Maupassant’s career. The 1880 decade marked a fertile period, in which he produced regular works and leveraged them with a canny business sense.

The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton and John Jay and James Madison

According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer."
