Dread Pirate’s Book Club V1.0

Dread Pirate's Book Club V1.0

Add dozens of new works of literature to those available in the Settled Systems, many of them from outside of Western Europe.

I have scoured the book stacks for books that are memorable enough that folks would grab them while fleeing a dying world. The works include the following:

Call to Arms by Lu Xun
Cecilia Valdes by Cirilo Villaverde
Chaka, A Historical Romance by Thomas Mofolo
Chandrakanata by Devaki Nandan Khatri

Forest of a Thousand Daemons by D.O. Fagunwa
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
Journey by Moonlight by Antal Szerb
Macunaima by Mario de Andrade
Rajmohan’s Wife by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Song of Ch’unhyang

The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish
The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar
The Epic of Gilgamesh
The Malay Annals
The Muaqddimah of Ibn Khaldun
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allen Poe
The Odyssey by Homer
The Pagoda by Koda Rohan
The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
The Tale of Sinuhe

These books will randomly appear in the bookseller in Akila City, as well as in any POI locations that use randomized book placement. Note that not every POI has randomized books — some are explicit books placed in the cell by the designer.

Note: I have tried to create a comprehensive list covering many different origins. I tried to avoid Western European authors but I made an exception for Gulliver’s Travels and The Blazing World given the themes already present in Starfield. Don’t mistake inclusion for endorsement, please. I’ve read less than half of this list personally and relied on online publications discussing which works are most notable from different nations and continents.
