P e n g u i n C l a s s i C s Because what you read matters. For sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, providing readers with a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. We focus on bringing together the best of the past and the future, using cutting-edge design and production as well as embracing the digital age to create unforgettable editions of treasured literature. Penguin Classics is timeless and trend setting. Whether you love our familiar black-spine series, our Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions, or our Penguin Enriched eBook Classics, we bring the writer to the reader in every format available. 90 PeNGuiN ClASSiC Highlights from the Penguin Classics Summer 2012 list Timeless, timely, and for the end of time, here are some of our favorite new classics: New hand-stitched designs by Rachell Sumpter cover our deluxe Penguin Threads editions of perennial favorites The Wizard of Oz, Little Women with a foreword by Jane Smiley, and an in-house favorite, The Wind in the Willows, with a foreword by Gregory Maguire. Janeites, mothers, and grads can complete an Austen shelf of elegant Bickford-Smith–designed hardbacks with Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey. Oh, my demigods, we are thrilled to share that Rick Riordan, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, introduces Robert Graves’s acclaimed retelling of The Greek Myths, in a new deluxe edition with graphic cover art by Ross MacDonald. There is no other celebrity tell-all Penguin Classics loves more than Mark Twain’s, and with Autobiographical Writings fans can enjoy a selection of revealing and entertaining writings from America’s favorite century-plus-old writer. Grab a stool, order up a mug of Lamb’s Wool, and enjoy Poet’s Pub by Eric Linklater, one of the first ten Penguins ever published by founder Allen Lane. NPR commentator Nancy Pearl introduces this literary Cheers as “one of the most delightful novels I’ve ever read.” A Grain of Wheat and Weep Not, Child, two masterly novels by award-winning Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ ˜ wa Thiong’o, make their debuts in our much-anticipated new Penguin African Writers Series endorsed by Chinua Achebe. 2012 marks the centennial of Mary Antin’s seminal work about the transformation of an eastern European Jewish immigrant into an American citizen. The Promised Land is bound to touch a new generation with her insightful, moving, and truly American story. Bancroft Prize winner Ira Berlin introduces Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, whose rare slave narrative is our newest title in Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s series of African American classics. Just in time for the world’s end comes The Prophecies by Nostradamus, newly translated and edited by prize-winning scholars. We predict this major literary presentation, in a dual-language hardcover edition, will capture the curiosity (and anxiety) of our Penguin Classics fans. —ELDA ROTOR, Editorial Director
