151 classic adventure books · free in PDF & EPUB
Storms, treasure, duels, shipwrecks, and no sensible way back: the adventure shelf runs from Homer's wine-dark sea to Verne's submarines. All of it public domain, all of it free in PDF and EPUB — or read online wherever the day takes you.
The Count of Monte Cristo is the genre's cathedral: escape, fortune, and the longest, sweetest revenge in literature. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea invented half of science fiction along the way, and The Odyssey is, quite literally, where the journey began.
