R's 200 Noteworthy Books 1826-2025

One book per year starting from 1826. One book only per author. Includes: novels, poetry, drama, non fiction ( history, memoir, culture). I based noteworthy on whether they might be: classics; evocative of a moment in time; forerunners of new art or thought; or simply books that people love. I've given titles in the original language where I'm familiar with it. I hope you enjoy this journey through time.
