Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens, which depicts the education, childhood and young adult years of an orphan nicknamed Pip, a blacksmith's apprentice, in a country village. He suddenly comes into a large fortune (his great expectations) from a mysterious benefactor and moves to London where he enters high society. It is a coming-of-age story of fortunes lost and found, partly because of the character of Miss Havisham, the jilted bride rotting away in her wedding dress.

Ben Hur by Lew Wallace

When most hear the name Ben Hur, images of Charlton Heston racing a chariot through ancient Roman streets immediately pop into their minds. Few know the film was based on an 1880 novel written by Lew Wallace, titled Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ.
Ben-Hur is a story of a fictional hero named Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman who was falsely accused and convicted of an attempted assassination of the Roman governor of Judaea and consequently enslaved by the Romans.
