Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the worlds greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. On sea, on land, at the edges of the colonial experience, Joseph Conrads short stories offer a glimpse of the violence, the kindness, and the mystery at humanitys heart. The Lagoon tells of love and its shadow, The Typhoon of the gap between man and nature, while The Secret Sharer provides a brilliant exploration of truth and trust.
