Little House in the Big Woods is the first installment in the classic Little House on the Prairie series, by Laura Ingalls-Wilder. Also, although it is categorized as 'historical fiction', it is not fiction. I am trying to figure out how to add it to 'classics' as it is not available for me.

"Anna Karenina" is the tragedy of married aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story starts when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though with less tolerance for her by others.
