A Learner’s Guide to English Literature
Always wanted to read more English literature, but not really known where to start?
That’s why we made the Desperate Literature guide to learning English through fiction, covering our favourite intermediate-level fiction. Short, classic reads that span everything from timeless young adult novels to hard-hitting dark comedies. This list is perfect for readers starting at a B1-B2 level.
Each book comes with a glossary of words to unpick the book’s more complicated terminology.
