Lois the Witch
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
Beware the self-righteous man of faith, the wicked-eyed child, the jealous lover. For this is Salem, in 1691, where rumours fly on the wind and witchcraft is abroad. Lois Barclay, cursed in childhood, is a stranger in a strange land - and the devil will work his mischief on Lois's neighbours before the season of madness is out.
The Chimes
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
Trotty Veck, an elderly porter, has read so many newspaper reports about crime and immorality that he believes the working classes are irredeemable. But, on New Year's Eve, summoned to the church tower by a mysterious chiming, Trotty witnesses his own death, and is taken on a ghostly journey that will force him to reassess his conviction. One of Dickens' 'Christmas stories', The Chimes is charming and surprising manifesto for empathy for our fellow man.
No Coward Soul Is Mine
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
Yes, as my swift days near their goal,
'Tis all that I implore;
In life and death, a chainless soul,
With courage to endure.
In this new selection of Emily Brontë's heart-rending poems, we uncover a soul unafraid to confront mortality, tragedy and the wild cruelty - and beauty - of nature. These verses capture her profound passion and indomitable spirit, plumbing the depths of the human heart and revealing the raw power of Brontë's poetic genius.
A Dill Pickle
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
She drew a long, soft breath, as though the paper daffodils between them were almost too sweet to bear
Katherine Mansfield was a magician of the short story, whose work was described by Virginia Woolf as 'the only writing I have ever been jealous of'. These eight tales show her gift for transforming fleeting moments - a chance meeting, a letter received, a careless remark - into small miracles of language and feeling.
A Poet Can Survive Everything But a Misprint
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
'All art,' Oscar Wilde once announced, 'is quite useless.' Selected here are some of his finest prose works on the subject of art - useless, illuminating, artificial, uplifting, radical, gorgeous, boring, sublime - and his most brilliant aphorisms on the creative life. Whether lamenting the crass urge to hold art to realist or natural standards or arguing against morality as a guiding principle, Wilde defends the artist while delighting the audience.
The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
There are many great English ghost stories, but they appear flimsy and emotionally spectral compared to the works of M.R. James. This selection gives the reader a flavour of his strange gifts. Often, the ghost is barely glimpsed and yet somehow sticks with the reader for years, making ordinary rooms or gardens or churches uncanny and threatening. Is that the kitchen cat? And what is it that terrible thing stalking about in the dolls' house?
The Time Machine
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
The Time Machine is the great, gleeful anarchist novel of the 1890s. It is both a thrilling adventure story and a satire on religion, evolution and human hopes. With this book, Wells invented an entirely new genre and did it better than any of his imitators.
An immediate bestseller, it has delighted and unnerved generations of readers, and will no doubt keep on doing so until some of the events predicted in the book make readers extinct.

Hop-Frog
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
Edgar Allen Poe's short stories have lost none of their power to horrify. He remains a destabilizingly terse sketcher out of ideas, a writer who allows the reader to fill in the many ghastly blanks in his narratives of violence, retribution and animalism. It is hard to recommend Hop-Frog wholeheartedly (its original subtitle was: Or, The Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs) as it is such an affront to decency, but you will certainly never forget it.
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
Luminous and intensely lyrical, Dylan Thomas’ works have captivated generations of readers, inspiring artists like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Igor Stravinsky, and Phoebe Bridgers. This selection includes some of his best poetry, celebrating both inner and outer landscapes in the face of mortality, decay, human weakness, and beckoning readers to ‘rage, rage against the dying of the light.’ Together, they exemplify his legacy as the greatest Welsh poet of the twentieth century.
A Dogs Heart
90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
What would happen if a doctor implanted the pituitary gland and testicles of a man into the body of a stray dog? In Mikhail Bulgakov's topsy-turvy world, the dog starts to walk on two legs, drink, smoke, thieve, chase women and recite every swear word in Russian. The perfect candidate for a government official, in other words. This rude, riotous send-up of the Soviet Union, banned immediately on publication, is satire red in tooth and claw.

The Rich Boy
90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me . . .
In this glittering new selection of Fitzgerald's short stories, we meet Anson Hunter, 'The Rich Boy', whose opulent, haunting world paints a vivid portrait of the American elite. 'Absolution' offers a poignant glimpse into the soul of a young boy grappling with sin, whilst 'May Day' captures the whirling hysteria at the dawn of the Jazz Age.

Poetics of Relation
Édouard Glissant’s most celebrated, scintillating philosophical work – which sets out a new poetic vision for the world
‘We cry our cry of poetry. Our boats are open, and we sail them for everyone’
In Poetics of Relation, Édouard Glissant turns the Caribbean of his birth into an energetic, multi-layered vision of a world in transformation. We come to see that relation in all its senses – telling, listening, connecting, and the parallel consciousness of self and surroundings – is the key to revolutionising mentalities and societies. We are not rooted, but ever-changing; we have a right to difference, wherever we are. Blending dreamlike prose with philosophical brilliance, this unique exploration of language, colonialism, slavery and freedom narrates an Antillean identity, but also that of the whole world, where ‘the poetics of Relation senses, assumes, opens, gathers, scatters, continues, and transforms.’
