It doesn\u2019t come much more epic than this, as Frodo and his pals set out on a quest to defeat evil wizard Saruman in his attempts to help dark Lord Sauron bring darkness to middle earth. This is a novel with epicness on every page and with each book in the trilogy in excess of 1,000 pages, there\u2019s lots of epicness for you to enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B000VTQAVS?tag=digitalboo0ca-20&#8243;

Written from the perspective of a sailor on a whaling boat named Ishmael, this mid 19th-century story describes his Captain &#8211; Ahab &#8211; and his obsession with a giant white sperm whale. This is no ordinary whale, however, as it\u2019s proving particularly difficult to bring down and was even responsible for taking Captain Ahab\u2019s lower leg in a previous battle. Will this man-on-a-mission get what he most desires?

Peace by Leo Tolstoy follows the lives of three characters that should be familiar to literature fans &#8211; Pierre Bezukhov, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky and Natasha Rostov. Their paths often intertwine and a love-triangle of sorts plays out against the most epic of backdrops. Each protagonist in the novel has their own motives and while both compete for Natasha\u2019s affections, a captivating tale unfolds.

Greek warrior Odysseus survives many years of the Trojan war to return to his home &#8211; the island of Ithaca. What runs centrally throughout his many adventures is the love he has for his wife and young son. Against this backdrop, Odysseus\u2019s resolve is tested to its limit in a novel that grabs you by the lapels and simply demands to be read.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.digitalbook.io\/audiobook\/26bea96f794c31fd12833d6170da25af\/Odysseys%20of%20Homer&#8221;

It is a novel set in late 19th century Russia and it provides a colourful insight into aristocratic life there at the time. A sophisticated and erudite lady, Anna Karenina rejects her empty Palace existence and marriage to Count Karenin to pursue a passionate affair with Count Vronsky. This novel recounts Anna\u2019s relationships with both men and what follows is clandestine, romantic, tragic and most certainly epic.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.digitalbook.io\/audiobook\/edb014d02abb73827d069a3815525359\/Anna%20Karenina&#8221;

The Clearys are a family of tough ranchers carving out an existence in the tough lands of the Australian outback. Their existence is beset by frailty, bitterness and family secrets, however it is one that also sees its fair share of romance &#8211; the main theme of the book. As Meggie Cleary becomes close to a haunted priest &#8211; Father Ralph de Bricassart &#8211; their relationship quickly becomes the stuff of scandal. An epic story indeed!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00JHNT63S?tag=digitalboo0ca-20&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;View on Amazon&#8221;

Polynesian adventurers journey to the island and settle peacefully until American missionaries set foot on their shores, bringing with them new ideas and customs. Based on historical fact, this book truly is epic, as the native Hawaiians struggle to hold on to both their identity and their way of life.
