Set out below are more than 500 of the western world's greatest books, spanning the period from BC to 1954. Included are works by authors who died before 1955, and whose works are thus in the public domain in Australia. Information about the authors and details about the books can be obtained by clicking on the links to "Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia". The works themselves may be accessed by clicking the link to Project Gutenberg (PG) or Project Gutenberg Australia (PGA) as the case may be.
How does one decide which books are "great"? Wikipedia, has an article on the Western Canon which aims to address this issue. The article contains references and links to other web sites.
