Recs if you like The Saga of the Volsungs...

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

A study of the past

Every culture has stories of creation, explaining how things came to be, telling of heroes, divine beings and the people. I want to learn more of different stories so I’m adding the translated versions where possible.

The books in this list are a compilation of the ancient and classical texts from around the world. Whether you are looking for a good translation or curious about ancient texts and authors, like Homer and his Illiad and Odyssey, then this is where you can come to satiate your curiosity for the ancients. Please let me know if there are any I have missed!
