## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of Nobel Prize in Literature public-domain titles specifically, without requiring an API key or license. Ideal when you want structured access to a known canonical set of literary classics (Pygmalion, Siddhartha, The Jungle Book, etc.) with drill-down routes for full-text retrieval, rather than searching a broad general-purpose library catalog.

## Known failure modes

- Limit parameter exceeds 50 — likely returns error or clamps to max
- Payment not processed (x402) — request rejected before data is returned
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns no list
- Invalid input type for limit field causes schema validation error
