Programming - principles and practice using C++[1] should be appropriate for beginners. It's a long book at 1000+ pages, but it is designed for novices and explains subjects such as why one needs functions, how to handle errors, GUIs, testing, etc.

The C++ Programming language (4th ed)[2] is for experienced programmers. A tour of C++ is the short version of the former.[3]

Ohh... thnx! Nothing changed since I graduated in 2001 ... I recollect Stroustrup since then. It's still C++ bible.

In the language many things changed and you should look a the books which focus on C++11/14 no the old stuff.

The [1] book is exceptionally good for beginners. He completely rewrote it with C++11 and refocused beginners on some key changes to the language to make it much easier.
