I need a NOVEL in English which first features the struggle of the main character, then after reaching his or her goal or peak (something like he/she got what he/she is struggling for), the main character experiences his/her downfall, a sort of he/she went down from his/her peak.... I need these events in order, please please please... Be kind enough to be serious with me... 2 examples are "The house of the spirits" by Isabel Allende and "The Good Earth"...Thanks!!!!

Saints and Villans by Denise Giardina - fictional novel in English written about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer - a Lutheran Pastor who became a reknowned figure in Lutheran Ministry in Germany and US. During WWII he was a compassionate man who helped to try and bring about the end of Adolf Hitler, he was arrested and hung for this. Very good read.

Does reaching the characters goal cause their downfall? If length isn't too important, try Rocking-Horse Winner by D. H. LAWRENCE. Frankenstein is a good one too if it has to be longer since his goal, creating the monster, is not only his downfall, but.. well, read the book.

i comprehend many human beings categorize all vampire fiction into smeyer ripoffs recently, yet it incredibly is via the fact her books stood out (regrettably, and in a bad way.) contained in the top, even with the undeniable fact that, that's purely a typical impact, and if your e book is function sufficient to lose the label then you definitely shouldn't problem approximately it. there are various stereotypes available, and you're able to settle for that some human beings ought to no longer take you heavily, yet once you experience the tale and prefer to jot down it then you definitely could. fantastically because you experience that's distinctive to the crap it incredibly is Twilight. desire you submit, do no longer supply up!

"The Stand" Stepehn King.
Several characters go though this sort of thing. Perhaps the most notible is the vilian Randall Flagg. But other "main characters" who are "good" have the same thing happen to them as well.
Good luck!!

Try any Charles Dickens. Or a personal favourite "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut...these are both very different but satisfy your criteria I hope.
