Literature and Fiction
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They
have transformed the way we see ourselves—and each other.
They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution.
They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted.
They have enriched lives—and destroyed them. Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers,
pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook
civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's
Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by
some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume
is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design
that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great
literature in great packages at great prices, this series
is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor
the Great Ideas that have shaped the world. Whether puncturing the lies of politicians, wittily
dissecting the English character or telling unpalatable
truths about war, Orwell's timeless, uncompromising essays
are more relevant, entertaining and essential than ever in
today's era of spin.
