The Arcturus Classic Collections are known for their striking contemporary cover designs and delightful, quality paperback format, making them both handsome additions to a home library and accessible reads for new and returning fans of classic literature.

The Iliad, attributed to Homer, is one of the oldest and most enduring works of Western literature, recounting the dramatic events of the Trojan War with vivid characters, heroic battles, and profound reflections on fate, honor, and mortality. War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy's monumental novel set during the Napoleonic invasion of Russia, follows five aristocratic families through love, loss, and historical upheaval. Described by Thomas Mann as "the greatest ever war novel in the history of literature," it weaves the personal and the historical into a sweeping, life-affirming epic. The War and Peace set is translated by Aylmer and Louise Maude, the authorized and most acclaimed translators of Tolstoy, with each boxed set spanning two paperback volumes for easy reading.
