chronological list famous novels

The chronological list can begin with the ancient Greek novels like 'Daphnis and Chloe'. Then comes 'The Decameron' in the 14th century. In the 18th century, 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' was very influential. And in more recent times, '1984' by George Orwell is a famous novel that has had a great impact on how we view society.

In the early 20th century, 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald was a significant work. Then, 'Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger in the mid - 20th century. Later, 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez in the latter half of the 20th century.

I don't have an exhaustive list on hand, but '12 Angry Men' is an early example. It was first presented as a teleplay in 1954 and later as a stage play and a movie. It focuses on the deliberations of a jury. It's one of the earlier works related to juries in the media.

Some well-known horror novels in chronological order could include 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley, 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, and 'The Shining' by Stephen King.

Some of Suzanne Brockmann's early novels include 'The Unsung Hero'. Then came 'Over the Edge' and 'Into the Fire' which followed in the sequence. However, there are many more in her extensive bibliography, and this is just a start to understanding the chronological development of her works.

The Alex Cross novels start with 'Along Came a Spider'. Then comes 'Kiss the Girls'. After that, there are many others like 'Jack & Jill' which continues to follow Cross's adventures in solving crimes and dealing with the villains in his typical style. Each novel builds on the previous one in terms of character growth and the overarching storylines in the series.

I'm not entirely sure of the full chronological list off the top of my head. But some of the early and well - known Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs include 'Tarzan of the Apes'. This was the one that introduced the iconic character Tarzan to the world, starting his story in the jungle.

The Scarpetta novels are a series of crime novels. The chronological order helps readers follow the development of the characters and the overarching storylines. For example, it allows one to see how Dr. Kay Scarpetta's character evolves over time, from her early days as a medical examiner to her more complex later experiences. Each novel builds on the previous one in terms of her relationships, the cases she handles, and the challenges she faces in the forensic and criminal justice fields.

The first Discworld novel is 'The Colour of Magic'. Then comes 'The Light Fantastic'. After that, there are many others in a sequence such as 'Equal Rites' and so on. However, there are a large number of Discworld novels, and to list them all in perfect chronological order would be quite a long list.

One key feature is the character development. We can clearly see how Dr. Scarpetta changes over the course of the novels. Another is the evolution of the crime - solving techniques. In the earlier books in the chronological list, the methods are more basic compared to later ones as forensic science progresses in the fictional world. Also, the relationships between the characters grow and shift in a way that makes more sense when read in chronological order.
