Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad. A classic of early literary modernism, Lord Jim tells the story of a young "simple and sensitive character" who loses his honor in a display of cowardice at sea -- and of his expiation of that sin against his own "shadowy ideal of conduct" on the remote island of Patusan.

Although classed as children's literature, The Wind in the Willows holds a gentle fascination for adults too.
