Saint Augustine: Confessions
In Confessions, regarded as the first true Western autobiography, Saint Augustine of Hippo lays bare his heart, body, and soul. In this unguarded prayer, a fallible Augustine admits to the indiscretions, selfishness, and licentious obsessions of his youth. He reveals a man of contradictory desires and beliefs, a regretful libertine torn between sin and morality on a spiritual journey toward his conversion to Christianity.
Meditative and philosophical, personal yet universal, Confessions has a surprising modernity—nearly sixteen hundred years after it was written—and still resonates, influencing and shaping our discourse on living a life filled with meaning.
Revised edition: Previously published as Confessions, this edition of Confessions (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
Dante Alighieri: The Inferno
As the protagonist in his own visionary three-part passage through the afterlife, Dante begins at the gate of Hell, guided by the poet Virgil. Together they journey through the underworld’s nine circles, witness harrowing punishments for sin, and come face-to-face with Satan—all in order for Dante to be reunited with his beloved Beatrice who awaits in Heaven.
Conceived as a deliverance from “the state of misery…to the state of felicity,” and informed by Christian history, medieval politics, and lost love, Dante’s voyage through the realms of the hereafter is an epic narrative at once theological, philosophical, and autobiographical.

John Bunyan: The Pilgrim's Progress
Plagued by spiritual anguish, devout everyman Christian fears his fate in the sinful City of Destruction. He’s told that only by embarking for the Celestial City can he achieve personal salvation. After his wife and children refuse to join him, he sets forth alone into the unknown. Mocked for his faith, tempted at every turn, and heartened by fellow pilgrims, Christian’s winding journey toward grace unfolds. But as he reaches Mount Zion, his family chooses to follow the same treacherous path, hoping to join Christian in the shining light.
John Bunyan began to write The Pilgrim’s Progress while in prison for nonconformist preaching. His dream-framed allegory, edited in 1909 by American clergyman Jesse Lyman Hurlbut, stands as one of the most profoundly influential novels ever written.

A. W. Tozer: The Pursuit of God
A soul-searching reflection on spirituality, A. W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God has been regarded as a classic Christian work since its publication in 1948. Tozer, a beloved, self-taught pastor, implores the reader to let go of material comforts to best cultivate a deeper spiritual life focused on the teachings of Christ. Tozer and his wife were firm practitioners of what he preached; the couple never owned a car and despite the success he found as a Christian writer, never profited greatly, as he donated much of his royalties to those in need.
Tozer’s The Pursuit of God is a spiritual meditation of timeless importance that has encouraged generations of readers to live more simply and deepen their relationships with God.

G. K. Chesterton: Orthodoxy
After the success of Heretics, G. K. Chesterton was challenged and compelled to share the story of his pilgrimage to faith. The result is this bracing, watershed religious autobiography in which he follows the doctrines determined in the Apostle’s Creed to deliver a personal, yet universal, defense of Christianity. Ultimately, the literary giant answers the question—not of whether divinity can be believed—but rather, how he himself came to believe it.
One of the twentieth century’s most influential works, Chesterton’s dynamic and oftentimes sharply witty testimony remains a masterpiece of Christian apologetics.
Revised edition: Previously published as Orthodoxy, this edition of Orthodoxy (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
G. K. Chesterton: Heretics
In this 1905 collection of essays, G. K. Chesterton contests the growing intolerance for religious thinking and theological debate. He calls out friends and contemporaries—George Bernard Shaw, Rudyard Kipling, and H. G. Wells, among others—who hold divided views on art, literature, and politics but universally dismiss orthodox opinions on God and the cosmos.
As relevant today as when it was written, Heretics is a bracing challenge from one of the twentieth century’s wittiest and most influential Christian voices.
Revised edition: Previously published as Heretics, this edition of Heretics (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
G. K. Chesterton: The Innocence of Father Brown
Diminutive, bespectacled, and endearing, Father Brown only appears unworldly. But the cherubic parish priest is privy to the inner workings of the most surprising of sinners. And as an amateur sleuth, he intuits motives for Essex’s unsolvable crimes.
One of the most beloved characters in twentieth-century detective fiction, the kindly cleric leverages his unrivaled insights into human nature to decipher twelve ingenious mysteries from the witty and clever mind of G. K. Chesterton.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Innocence of Father Brown, this edition of The Innocence of Father Brown (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
John Milton: Paradise Lost
In Paradise, God’s favored new creations—Adam and Eve—live in bliss, untainted by sin. In another realm, Satan and his banished rebel angels collude to destroy God’s tranquil new design. Into this idyll called Earth, and the confidence of Adam and Eve, Satan will instigate the fall of man.
At the heart of this complex, audacious epic poem is a drama driven by the most recognizable human flaws. More than a story from Genesis, it is the extraordinary expression of Milton’s search for personal truth and the meaning of existence, written to “justify the ways of God to men.”
AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.
Revised edition: Previously published as Paradise Lost, this edition of Paradise Lost (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
