Immortality in classic literature?

[Billy]

Hi guys, I wondered if anyone could think of some classic novels that would be appropriate for 15-16 year olds that deal with immortality. I have already thought of The Picture of Dorian Gray, but am wondering if anyone can think of any others because I've drawn a blank. Thanks.

P.S. When I say classic, I mean earlier than 20th century literature.

Dracula.

Frankenstein too. Mary Shelley also did a short story called The Mortal Immortal, you may want to look that up.

 

[Edward G.]

Wuthering Heights, perhaps
