Winter 2013

“Only the passionate were 

immortal, it seemed . . .” 

Cosmically fast-paced and wildly imaginative, 

this debut novel is a perfect potion of magic and suspense 

ON SALE DECEMBER 2012

Once a city of enormous wealth and culture, Prague 

was home to emperors, alchemists, astronomers, 

and, it’s even whispered, hell portals. When music 

student Sarah Weston lands a summer job at 

Prague Castle cataloging Beethoven’s manuscripts, 

she has no idea how dangerous her life is about to 

become. Prague is a threshold, Sarah is warned, and 

it is steeped in blood. 

Soon after Sarah arrives, strange things 

begin to happen. She learns that her mentor, 

who was working at the castle, may not have 

committed suicide after all. Could his cryptic 

notes be warnings? As Sarah parses his clues 

about Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved,” she 

manages to get arrested, have tantric sex in a 

public fountain, and discover a time-warping 

drug. She also catches the attention of a fourhundred-year-old 

dwarf, the handsome Prince 

Max, and a powerful U.S. senator with secrets 

she will do anything to hide. 

CITY OF DARK MAGIC could be called a 

rom-com paranormal suspense novel—or it could 

simply be called one of the most entertaining novels 

of the year.

Dear Booksellers, 

Thank you so much for all you do for Penguin Books. I want to take this opportunity to point out just 

a few of the many titles in our Winter 2013 season that I hope will tempt your customers and get the 

year off to a very strong start. 

First, I want to mention an original novel, City of Dark Magic by Magnus Flyte. We’ve decided to 

publish at the end of November given the enormous amount of enthusiasm in house! Perfect for fans 

of A Discovery of Witches, this “rom-com” paranormal suspense novel set in Prague is destined to 

entertain many readers and will be a great holiday gift! 

Other December titles include Daniel Klein’s Travels with Epicurus, a witty and accessible meditation 

on old age that will be published in a delightful small hardcover format, and Daniel Ladinsky’s The 

Purity of Desire: 100 Poems of Rumi, a deluxe trade paperback original—both perfect for gift-giving. 

January highlights include reprints of Dave Isay’s All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps (in time 

for Valentine’s Day), Cristina Alger’s The Darlings, and Gary Marcus’s Guitar Zero. 

February brings a second Penguin Original in translation from the New York Times bestseller 

Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, There Once Lived a Girl Who Seduced Her Sister’s Husband, and He Hanged 

Himself—a superb anti–Valentine’s Day book!—and the reprint of the hugely successful Bringing Up 

Bébé by Pamela Druckerman. 

In March we are excited about two international fiction Originals. Linda Olsson, the author of the 

bestselling Astrid & Veronika, will publish her third novel, The Memory of Love, and Gerbrand 

Bakker, winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, will be published by Penguin 

for the first time with Ten White Geese. Big leads in nonfiction include Elaine Pagels’s bestselling 

Revelations and Jon Gertner’s The Idea Factory. 

April will see the publication of Benjamin Lytal’s stunning debut novel, A Map of Tulsa, and in 

nonfiction, the reprint of Blaine Harden’s extraordinary bestseller about North Korea, Escape from 

Camp 14. 

Penguin has always loved mysteries, and I am happy to have new novels from bestselling authors 

Andrea Camilleri (his fifteenth Inspector Montalbano mystery, The Dance of the Seagull) and Philip 

Kerr (his eighth Bernie Gunther novel, Prague Fatale). Also on the list are four reprints that are each 

the first outing in a series: Thomas Caplan’s The Spy Who Jumped Off the Screen, Chris Morgan Jones’s 

The Silent Oligarch, Keith McCafferty’s The Royal Wulff Murders, and Nicci French’s Blue Monday. 

I hope you will get a chance to read some of these marvelous books. 

With all good wishes, 

Kathryn Court, President and Publisher of Penguin Books

Travels with Epicurus 

A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of an Authentic Old Age 

Daniel Klein 

Daniel Klein journeys to the Greek island Hydra to discover 

the secrets of aging happily. Drawing on the lives 

of his Greek friends, as well as philosophers ranging from 

Epicurus to Sartre, Klein learns to appreciate old age as 

a distinct and extraordinarily valuable stage of life. He 

uncovers simple pleasures that are uniquely available late 

in life, as well as headier pleasures that only a mature mind 

can fully appreciate. A travel book, a witty and accessible 

meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well, Travels 

with Epicurus is a delightful jaunt to the Aegean and 

through the terrain of old age led by a droll philosopher. 

A perfect gift book for the holidays, this little treasure is 

sure to please longtime fans of Plato and a Platypus Walk 

into a Bar and garner new ones, young and old. 

dAniel klein is the coauthor 

(with Thomas Cathcart) of the international 

bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into 

a Bar and Heidegger and a Hippo Walk 

Through Those Pearly Gates. The author or 

coauthor of thirty other books, including The 

Half-Jewish Book, the Elvis Presley mystery 

series (Kill Me Tender, Blue Suede Clues), 

and the award-winning novel The History 

of Now, Klein holds a degree in philosophy 

from Harvard University and lives in Western 

Massachusetts with his wife, Freke Vuijst.

Guitar Zero 

The Science of Becoming Musical at Any Age 

Gary Marcus 

For anyone who has ever set out to play a musical 

instrument—or wished that they could—Guitar Zero is 

an inspiring and fascinating look at the pursuit of music, 

the mechanics of the mind, and the surprising rewards 

that come from following one’s dreams. Gary Marcus, 

whom Steven Pinker describes as “one of the deepest 

thinkers in cognitive science,” debunks the popular theory 

that there is an innate musical instinct while challenging 

the idea that talent is only a myth. From deliberate and 

efficient practicing techniques to finding the right music 

teacher, Marcus translates his own experience—as well 

as reflections from world-renowned musicians—into 

practical advice for anyone hoping to become musical or 

learn any new skill. 

gARy MARCus, described by the 

New York Times as “one of the country’s 

best known cognitive psychologists,” directs 

the Center for Language and Music at New 

York University, where he studies language, 

music, cognitive development, and evolution. 

His previous book, Kluge: The Haphazard 

Construction of the Human Mind, was a 

New York Times Editors’ Choice pick. 

“ [Guitar Zero] is about more than a desire to 

shred like Eddie Van Halen. Marcus examines 

how our brains are affected by creativity . . . 

and how these experiences remain open to all 

of us, no matter our age.” —Los Angeles Times 

“ Refreshing . . . Guitar Zero is good news.” 

—Norman Doidge, The Wall Street Journal 

“ An entertaining and enlightening 

memoir, filled with insight about music, 

learning, and the human mind, by Gary 

Marcus, one of the deepest thinkers in 

cognitive science.” —Steven Pinker, 

New York Times bestselling author of 

The Better Angels of Our Nature

From Guitar Zero: 

Although any number of studies show that the more you 

practice, the better you get, startlingly few studies have 

asked the critical question, which is what happens when 

people of different ages get the same amount of practice. 

[ . . . ] I decided to become a guinea pig. I couldn’t force 

other adults to practice for 10,000 hours, but I could 

experiment on myself : I would see what happened if I 

personally devoted myself to music full-time. This is the 

story of how I came to distinguish my musical elbow 

from my musical derrière. 

If someone as tuneless as me could make progress, 

perhaps there was hope for anyone.

The Darlings 

A Novel 

Cristina Alger 

Since he married Merrill Darling, daughter of billionaire 

financier Carter Darling, attorney Paul Ross has grown 

accustomed to all the luxuries of Park Avenue. But a tragic 

event is about to catapult the Darling family into the middle 

of a massive financial investigation and a red-hot scandal. 

Suddenly, Paul must decide where his loyalties really lie. 

Debut novelist Cristina Alger is a former analyst 

at Goldman Sachs, an attorney, and the daughter of a 

Wall Street financier. Drawing on her unique insider’s 

perspective, Alger gives us an irresistible glimpse into the 

highest echelons of New York society—and a fast-paced 

thriller of epic proportions that powerfully echoes Claire 

Messud’s The Emperor’s Children and reads like a fictional 

Too Big to Fail. 

CRistinA AlgeR graduated from 

Harvard College and from New York University 

Law School. She has worked as an analyst 

at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and as an attorney 

at Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale & Dorr. She 

lives in New York City. 

“ The Darlings moves so fast that it 

feels more like a thriller than a social drama.” 

—Entertainment Weekly 

“ A glimpse from the penthouse down . . . 

a complex thriller.” —Tom Rachman, 

author of The Imperfectionists 

“ A page-turner.” —Good Housekeeping 

“ One of the first novels about the 2008 financial 

crisis. . . . Alger has what it takes, in the 

best sense.” —USA Today 

“ Utterly compelling . . . as knowing 

about family as it is about money and social 

status.” —Jay McInerney, author of

From The Darlings: 

Manhattan children were like armadillos: sharp-clawed 

and thick-skinned, deceptively quick moving. They had 

to be. Manhattan was a Darwinian environment: only 

the strongest survived. The weak, the nice, the naive, the 

ones who smiled at passersby on the sidewalk, they all 

got weeded out. 

The ones who stayed long enough to raise children 

were the tough ones, the tenacious ones, the goaloriented 

ones, the gold-digging ones, the deal-closing 

ones, the “kill or be killed” ones, the “whatever it takes” 

ones. They looked out for themselves and slept with one 

eye open.

The Great Influenza 


Roger Williams and 

the Creation of the 

American Soul 

Church, State, and the Birth of Liberty 

John M. Barry 

For four hundred years, Americans have fought over the proper 

relationships between church and state and between a free individual 

and the state. This is the story of the first battle in that war 

of ideas, a battle that led to the writing of the First Amendment 

and that continues to define the issue of the separation of church 

and state today. It began with religious persecution and ended in 

revolution, and along the way it defined the nature of America and 

of individual liberty. Acclaimed historian John M. Barry explores 

the development of these fundamental ideas through the story 

of Roger Williams, who was the first to link religious freedom to 

individual liberty, and who created in America the first government 

and society on earth informed by those beliefs. This book is 

essential to understanding the continuing debate over the role of 

religion and political power in modern life.

The Serenity Murders 

A Turkish Delight Mystery 

Mehmet Murat Somer 

Oh, no! Burçak Veral—kickboxing transvestite, nightclub owner, 

Audrey Hepburn look-alike, and amateur sleuth—has finally been 

invited to strut her stuff on a local television show. But during her 

appearance, an angry man calls in vowing to kill off everyone close 

to Burçak. Later that night, the show’s host is shot dead. What’s a 

girl to do? 

Set in exotic Istanbul and featuring a uniquely alluring 

heroine, Mehmet Murat Somer’s delicious Turkish Delight series 

combines the edgy glamour of a Pedro Almodóvar film with 

the ingenuous charm of Alexander McCall Smith’s bestselling 

mysteries. One taste and readers will be begging for more.

Love and Other Impossible Pursuits 

The highest-rated drama in BBC history

Call the Midwife 

A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times 

Jennifer Worth 

Fans of Downton Abbey and Mad Men have something to look 

forward to this September with this candid look at post-war 

London. In the 1950s, twenty-two-year-old Jenny Lee leaves her 

comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife 

in London’s East End slums. While delivering babies all over the 

city, Jenny encounters a colorful cast of women—from the plucky, 

warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives, to the woman with 

twenty-four children who can’t speak English, to the prostitutes 

of the city’s seedier side. 

Based on Jennifer Worth’s bestselling memoirs and already 

a bigger hit than Downton Abbey in the U.K., Call the Midwife 

promises to delight millions of viewers in the U.S. 

n The 6-part series will premiere on Sunday, September 30, on PBS, leading 

into the Masterpiece Classic presentation of Upstairs Downstairs 

n Cast includes Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Raine (The Woman in Black), 

and Pam Ferris (Little Dorrit, Luther) 

n The season finale was watched by more than 9 million viewers in the 

U.K.—making it the highest-rated drama in BBC history

An unprecedented, all-access examination 

of “the most successful U.S. general of his 

generation” (The Wall Street Journal) 


All In 

The Education of General David Petraeus 

Paula Broadwell with Vernon Loeb 

The serving CIA director, retired General David Petraeus, 

is arguably the most transformative leader the American 

military has seen since the generation of General George 

Marshall. International security expert Paula Broadwell 

examines Petraeus’s career, his intellectual development 

as a soldier, and his impact on the United States military in 

this gripping portrait of strategic leadership. Broadwell was 

embedded with the general, his staff, and his soldiers on the 

front lines to chronicle his command in the crucible of war. 

Allowed unprecedented access by Petraeus, his mentors, and 

his subordinates, Broadwell draws on hundreds of hours of 

exclusive interviews to tell the inside story of this commander’s 

development and leadership from every vantage point.

Alex Gilvarry 

Unveiling two of America’s most illusory realms—high fashion 

and Homeland Security—Alex Gilvarry’s widely acclaimed first 

novel is the story of designer Boy Hernandez: Filipino immigrant, 

New York glamour junkie, Guantánamo detainee. Locked away 

indefinitely and accused of being linked to a terrorist plot, Boy 

prepares for the tribunal of his life with this intimate confession, 

a dazzling swirl of soirees, runways, and hipster romance that 

charts one small man’s pursuit of the big American dream—even 

as the present nightmare of detainment chisels away at his vital 

wit and chutzpah. From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant is 

funny, wise, and beguiling, a Kafkaesque tale for our strange times.

Vanished Kingdoms 

The Rise and Fall of States and Nations 

Norman Davies 

From the bestselling author of Europe: A History comes a uniquely 

ambitious masterpiece that will thrill fans of lost civilizations. 

While Germany, Italy, France, and England dominate our 

conceptions of Europe, these modern states are relatively recent 

constructs. In this brilliant work of historical reconstruction, 

Norman Davies brings back to life the long-forgotten empire of 

Aragon, which once controlled the Western Mediterranean; the 

Grand Duchy of Lithuania, once the largest country in Europe, 

and the Kingdom of the Rock, founded by ancient Britons when 

neither England nor Scotland existed. In the tradition of Jared 

Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel, Davies subverts our established 

view of the past and urges us to reconsider the impetus for the rise 

and fall of nations. 

n Norman Davies’s Europe: A History was a #1 international bestseller 

n Includes two 16-page color inserts, with maps and photos throughout 

n Chosen by the Sunday Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, the 

Financial Times, and the New Statesman as a best book of the year 

in the U.K. 

noRMAn dAvies is the bestselling author of several 

acclaimed books, including Europe: A History; Rising ’44: The 

Battle for Warsaw; and No Simple Victory: World War II in Europe, 

1939–1945. He lives in Oxford, England, and Cracow, Poland.

Bringing Up Bébé 

One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting 

Pamela Druckerman 

When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby 

in Paris, she didn’t aspire to become a “French parent.” But 

she noticed that French children slept through the night 

by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They 

played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. 

And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and 

creative. Why? How? 

With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, 

Druckerman set out to investigate—and wound up sparking 

a national debate on parenting. Researched over three 

years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up 

Bébé is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to 

become a classic resource for American parents. 

PAMelA dRuCkeRMAn is 

a former staff reporter for the Wall Street 

Journal and has written for the New York 

Times, the Washington Post, and Marie 

Claire. She lives in Paris with her husband 

and three children. 

“ Marvelous . . . Like Julia Child, who 

translated the secrets of French cuisine, 

Druckerman has investigated and distilled the 

essentials of French child-rearing.” —NPR 

“ I’ve been a parent now for more than eight 

years, and—confession—I’ve never made it all 

the way through a parenting book. But I found 

Bringing Up Bébé to be irresistible.” 

—Rachael Larimore, Slate 

“ I couldn’t put Bringing Up Bébé down! 

It’s smart, funny and fascinating, 

insightful, provocative, and genuinely 

eye-opening.” —Amy Chua, New York Times 

bestselling author of Battle Hymn of the 

Tiger Mother

The Silent Oligarch 

A Novel 

Chris Morgan Jones 

Racing between London and Moscow, Kazakhstan and the 

Caymans, The Silent Oligarch reveals a sinister unexplored 

world where the wealthy buy the justice they want—and 

the silence they need. The first novel by Chris Morgan 

Jones—after his eleven years of work at the world’s largest 

business intelligence agency—The Silent Oligarch introduces 

Benjamin Webster, mercenary spy to the rich and 

powerful. Hired to destroy a Russian oil baron, Webster 

discovers that his target’s weak spot is a diffident English 

lawyer who hides the money generated from his master’s 

vast criminal empire. Soon Webster’s questions cause the 

lawyer’s fragile world to crumble, forcing them both into 

a desperate race around the world to escape the oligarch’s 

vengeance. 

ChRis MoRgAn Jones worked at the world’s largest business 

intelligence agency for eleven years, advising Middle Eastern governments, 

Russian oligarchs, New York banks, London hedge funds, and African mining 

companies. The Silent Oligarch is his first novel. He lives in London. 

“ An absolutely terrific novel. It’s 

about international intrigue—but the real 

deal. The Silent Oligarch is beautifully written, 

clean, and terse, but you won’t notice, because 

you’ll be reading just as fast as you can. Very 

highly recommended, and you’ll want more.” 

—Alan Furst, author of Spies of the Balkans 

and Night Soldiers 

“ An understated debut that carries a special 

resonance in the wake of Putin’s bareknuckled 

presidential victory . . . Jones 

handles the large cast of characters and 

shifting venues with grace.” —Bloomberg 

“ A beautifully written thriller . . . 

a smashing debut that will leave most readers 

anxious to follow Webster on his next 

assignment.” —Connecticut Post

From The Silent Oligarch: 

Richard Lock arrived back in Monaco a little after ten. 

He stood in the shower, turned it up very hot and then 

very cold, and thought. He thought about Malin’s words 

to him, part pep talk and part threat. If anyone looked 

hard enough they would discover that, he, Richard Lock, 

was the richest foreign investor in Russia, the owner 

of a huge private energy conglomerate. And he had no 

plausible account of how he had come by any of it.

A Novel

When Erin Kelly burst onto the scene with The Poison Tree, readers

A story of secrets and guilt, The Dark Rose is a mesmerizing followup 

that’s every bit as chilling and atmospheric as her acclaimed 

debut. 

Nineteen-year-old Paul sits in a stark interrogation room 

across from two police officers. What started as petty theft turned 

into murder; only terror and loyalty keep him silent. Louisa 

spends her days roaming a crumbling Elizabethan garden—until 

she meets Paul, who is a dead ringer for her long-lost love. Louisa 

starts to hope she can find happiness again, but neither of them 

can outrun his violent past.

Going Solo 

The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone 

Eric Klinenberg 

With eye-opening statistics, original data, and vivid portraits of 

people who live alone, renowned sociologist Eric Klinenberg upends 

conventional wisdom to deliver the definitive take on how 

the rise of going solo is transforming the American experience. 

Klinenberg shows that most single dwellers—whether in their 

twenties or eighties—are deeply engaged in social and civic life. 

There’s even evidence that people who live alone enjoy better 

mental health and have more environmentally sustainable lifestyles. 

Drawing on more than three hundred in-depth interviews, 

Klinenberg presents a revelatory examination of the most significant 

demographic shift since the baby boom and offers surprising 

insights on the benefits of this epochal change.

Petrushevskaya—who has been compared to Chekhov, Tolstoy, 

Beckett, Poe, Angela Carter, and even Stephen King—is best 

known for in Russia. Here are attempts at human connection, both 

depraved and sublime, by people in all stages of life: one-night 

stands in communal apartments, poignantly awkward couplings, 

office trysts, schoolgirl crushes, elopements, tentative courtships, 

and rampant infidelity, shot through with lurid violence, romantic 

illusion, and surprising tenderness.

The Safety of Objects 

Stories 

A. M. Homes 

Originally published in 1990 to wide critical acclaim, this 

extraordinary first collection of stories by A. M. Homes confronts 

the real and the surreal on even terms to create a disturbing and 

sometimes hilarious vision of the American dream. Included 

here are “Adults Alone,” in which a couple drops their kids off at 

Grandma’s and gives themselves over to ten days of Nintendo, 

porn videos, and crack; “A Real Doll,” in which a girl’s blond Barbie 

doll seduces her teenaged brother; and “Looking for Johnny,” 

in which a kidnapped boy, having failed to meet his abductor’s 

expectations, is returned home. These stories, by turns satirical, 

perverse, unsettling, and utterly believable, expose the dangers 

of ordinary life even as their characters stay hidden behind the 

disguises they have so carefully created. 

n The Safety of Objects was adapted into a film starring Glenn Close, 

Dermot Mulroney, Patricia Clarkson, and Kristen Stewart

Revelations 

Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation 

Elaine Pagels 

The strangest book of the New Testament, filled with 

visions of the Rapture, the whore of Babylon, and apocalyptic 

writing of the end of times, the Book of Revelation 

has fascinated readers for more than two thousand years, 

but where did it come from? And what are the meanings 

of its surreal images of dragons, monsters, angels, and 

cosmic war? 

Elaine Pagels, New York Times bestselling author 

and “the preeminent voice of biblical scholarship to the 

American public” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), elucidates 

the true history of this controversial book, uncovering its 

origins and the roots of dissent, violence, and division in 

the world’s religions. Brilliantly weaving scholarship with a 

deep understanding of the human needs to which religion 

speaks, Pagels has written what may be the masterwork 

of her unique career. 

elAine PAgels is the Harrington 

Spear Paine Professor of Religion at Princeton 

University. Her many books include The 

Gnostic Gospels, Beyond Belief, and Reading 

Judas with Karen King. She lives in Princeton, 

New Jersey. 

“ A sharp, accessible, and 

perceptive interpretation of one of 

the Bible’s most divisive books.”

An Inspector Montalbano Mystery 

Andrea Camilleri 

Translated by Stephen Sartarelli 

With Inspector Montalbano’s most recent outings hitting the 

New York Times bestseller list, Andrea Camilleri’s darkly refined 

Italian mysteries have become favorites of American crime novel 

fans. This latest installment finds Montalbano in search of his 

missing right-hand man. 

Before leaving for vacation with Livia, Montalbano witnesses 

a seagull doing an odd dance on the beach outside his home, 

when the bird suddenly drops dead. Stopping in at his office for a

The Memory of Love 

A Novel 

Linda Olsson 

Fans of Astrid & Veronika and Chris Cleave’s Little Bee 

will be thrilled to read Linda Olsson’s third novel. Here is 

Olsson doing what she does best: illuminating the terrain 

of friendship and examining the many forms that love 

can take. 

Marion Flint, a woman in her early fifties, has spent 

fifteen years living a quiet life on the rugged coast of New 

Zealand—a life that allows the door to her past to remain 

firmly shut. But a chance meeting with a young, damaged 

boy named Ika and her desire to help him force Marion 

to open the Pandora’s box of her memory. Seized by a 

sudden urgency to make sense of her past, she examines 

each image one-by-one: her grandfather, her mother, her 

brother, her lover. Perhaps if she can create order from 

the chaos, her memories will be easier to carry. Perhaps 

she’ll be able to find forgiveness for the little girl that was 

her, for the young woman she had been, and for the people 

she left behind. 

lindA olsson is the author of Astrid & Veronika and Sonata for 

Miriam. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand, and Stockholm, Sweden. 

Praise for Astrid & Veronika: 

“ Natural and vivid, utterly 

convincing . . . simply so beguiling.”

the landscape of friendship.” —Kim Edwards,

The Idea Factory 

Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation 

Jon Gertner 

In this first full portrait of the legendary Bell Labs, 

journalist Jon Gertner takes readers behind one of the 

greatest collaborations between business and science in 

history. Officially the research and development wing of 

AT&T, Bell Labs made seminal breakthroughs from the 

1920s to the 1980s in everything from lasers to cellular 

telephony, becoming arguably the best laboratory for new 

ideas in the world. Gertner’s riveting narrative traces the 

intersections between science, business, and society that 

allowed a cadre of eccentric geniuses to lay the foundations 

of the information age, offering lessons in management 

and innovation that are as vital today as they were a 

generation ago. 

Jon geRtneR grew up in Berkeley 

Heights, New Jersey, just a few hundred yards 

away from Bell Labs. He has been a writer 

for the New York Times Magazine since 2004 

and is an editor at Fast Company magazine. 

He lives in Maplewood, New Jersey, with his 

wife and two children. 

“ Filled with colorful characters 

and inspiring lessons . . . The Idea 

Factory explores one of the most critical 

issues of our time: What causes innovation?” 

—Walter Isaacson, The New York Times 

Book Review 

“ Riveting . . . Mr. Gertner’s portraits of 

Kelly and the cadre of talented scientists 

who worked at Bell Labs are animated by a 

journalistic ability to make their discoveries 

and inventions utterly comprehensible— 

indeed, thrilling—to the lay reader.” 

—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times 

“ Expansive . . . a book that needed to 

be written. Through deep archival research 

and extensive primary interviews, Gertner 

traces the history of a singular and peculiar 

American institution that produced more 

major discoveries and Nobel laureates than 

most universities. . . . Impressive.”

A Novel 

Nicci French 

Immensely intelligent and poignantly human, Frieda Klein 

has captivated book critics and readers everywhere with 

her debut outing as Blue Monday’s iconoclastic heroine. 

A psychotherapist and insomniac who spends her nights 

walking along the ancient rivers that lie beneath modern 

London, Frieda stars in a dazzling new crime series in 

which the terrors of the mind spill over into real life. 

When five-year-old Matthew Farraday is abducted, 

Frieda cannot ignore the fact that his photograph 

perfectly matches the boy one of her patients describes 

from his fantasies. Before long, Frieda finds herself 

serving as the reluctant sidekick of Detective Chief 

Inspector Karlsson at the center of a desperate race to find 

the kidnapper. Blue Monday is an atmospheric, stunning 

first novel in a crime series for fans of In Treatment. 

niCCi FRenCh is the pseudonym for 

the internationally bestselling husband-wife 

writing duo Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. 

They live in Suffolk and London, England. 

“ A neat puzzle with . . . a terrific 

twist.” —The New York Times Book Review

From Blue Monday: 

“I’m Detective Chief Inspector Malcolm Karlsson,” he 

said. Karlsson wrote the name “Frieda Klein” on his 

notepad and drew a line under it. 

“And it’s relevant to the disappearance of Matthew 

Faraday?” 

“It might be. I’m a consultant psychoanalyst,” she 

began. “Do you know what that is?” 

Karlsson smiled. “I’ve picked up a bit of education here 

and there,” he said. “Despite being a copper.” 

“I know,” she said. “You read law at Oxford. I checked. 

I’ve started seeing a new patient. His name is Alan 

Dekker. He’s forty-two years old.” She paused. “I think you 

should talk to him. His anxiety is based on a fantasy about 

having a son–or about not having a son. This fantasy 

shows itself in a dream that seems to involve seizing 

a child in a way that struck me as similar to this boy’s 

disappearance . . . to Matthew Farraday.” 

Karlsson had stopped taking notes.

drafted; a mixed-race, activist mother confronting racist thugs. 

But Ella’s journey is just beginning when she reaches Hopewell 

County, and her disappearance into the Georgia mountains will 

stir up memories long suppressed. As the secrets of Ella’s family 

history unfold in a vivid generational saga, Glow transports us to 

the Blue Ridge frontier of 1836, where slave plantations adjoin the 

haunted glades of a razed Cherokee Nation. Ron Rash’s Appalachia 

cascades into Alice Walker’s Georgia red clay in this lushly

JOHN LE CARRé 

The Looking Glass War 

A George Smiley Novel 

It would have been an easy job for the Circus: to 

courier a can of film from Helsinki to London. In the 

past the Circus handled all things political, while 

the Department dealt with matters military. But the 

Department has been moribund since the War, its 

resources siphoned away. Now one of their agents is 

dead, and vital evidence verifying the presence of Soviet 

missiles near the West German border is gone. John 

Avery is the Department’s last hope. Charged with 

handling Fred Leiser, a German-speaking Pole left over 

from the War, Avery must infiltrate the East and restore 

his masters’ former glory. 

Darkly compelling and brutally Machiavellian, The 

Looking Glass War is a stunning accomplishment by one 

of today’s most remarkable and enduring literary writers. 

Small Town in 

Germany 

A Novel 

The British Embassy in Bonn is up in arms. Her Majesty’s 

financially troubled government is seeking admission to 

Europe’s Common Market just as anti-British factions 

are rising to power in Germany. Rioters are demanding 

reunification, and the last thing the Crown can afford is 

a scandal. Then Leo Harting—an embassy nobody—goes 

missing with a case full of confidential files. London sends 

Alan Turner to control the damage, but he soon realizes 

that neither side really wants Leo found alive. 

John le CARRé, the author of 

twenty-two novels, is the pseudonym for 

David Cornwell, who was a member of the 

British Foreign Service from 1959 to 1964. 

Many of his books have been made into films, 

including The Constant Gardener, The Russia 

House, The Little Drummer Girl, and Tinker, 

Tailor, Soldier, Spy. 

Praise for The Looking Glass War: 

“ A book of rare and great power.” 

—Financial Times (U.K.) 

“ A bitter, bleak, superlatively written 

novel.” —Publishers Weekly 

Praise for A Small Town in Germany: 

“ Exciting, compulsively readable, and 

brilliantly plotted.” 


“ Brilliant, unforgettable . . . 

A masterpiece.” 

—New Statesman (London) 

“ John le Carré is at the top of his 

form.” —The Sunday Times (London)

Following the return of 

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy to the 

New York Times list and the 

highly acclaimed film, Penguin 

publishes two more brilliant 

books from the master novelist 

n Both titles include an introduction by the author 

n The film adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

The Irish Way 

Becoming American in the Multiethnic City 

James R. Barrett 

The newest volume in the award-winning Penguin History of 

American Life series, this innovative and fascinating work chronicles 

how a new urban American identity was forged in the streets, 

saloons, and churches of the nation’s cities during the nineteenth 

century—a process deeply shaped, according to author James R. 

Barrett, by the Irish. Drawing on contemporary sociological studies 

and diaries, newspaper accounts, and Irish American literature, 

The Irish Way illustrates how interactions between the Irish 

and later immigrants on the streets, on the vaudeville stage, and in 

workplaces from New York to Chicago helped forge a multiethnic 

identity that has a profound legacy in our country today.

Escape from Camp 14 

One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West 

Blaine Harden 

North Korea’s political prison camps have existed twice 

as long as Stalin’s gulags did and twelve times as long 

as the Nazi concentration camps did. No one born and 

raised in these camps is known to have escaped. No one, 

that is, except Shin Dong-hyuk. In Escape from Camp 14, 

veteran reporter Blaine Harden unlocks the secrets of 

the world’s most repressive totalitarian state through the 

story of Shin’s shocking imprisonment and his astounding 

getaway. A tale of endurance and courage, survival and 

hope, Harden’s harrowing narrative exposes this hidden 

dystopia, focusing on an extraordinary young man who 

came of age in one of the world’s darkest nations. 

BlAine hARden is a reporter 

for PBS’s FRONTLINE and a contributor 

to the Economist, and has served as the 

Washington Post’s bureau chief in East 

Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa. He is the 

author of Africa: Dispatches from a Fragile 

Continent and A River Lost: The Life and 

Death of the Columbia. He lives in Seattle, 

Washington. 

“ A searing account of one man’s 

incarceration and personal 

awakening.” —The Wall Street Journal 

“ Harden’s book, besides being a gripping 

story, unsparingly told, carries a freight of 

intelligence about this black hole of a country.” 

—Bill Keller, The New York Times 

“ A riveting, remarkable book that 

should be required reading in every high- 

school or college civics class.” 

—The Seattle Times 

“ Absolutely unique . . . Read it.” 

—Donald E. Graham, CEO of 

The Washington Post 

“ An indictment of a depraved regime and a 

tribute to all those who cling to their humanity 

in the face of evil.” —Mitchell Zuckoff,

Prague Fatale 

A Bernie Gunther Novel 

Philip Kerr 

First introduced in Philip Kerr’s celebrated Berlin Noir 

trilogy, Bernie Gunther is an honest cop living in the most 

ruthless of times. Prague Fatale is Bernie’s latest outing, 

and it’s a tantalizing locked-door mystery-cum-politicalthriller 

that’s poised to build on Field Gray’s success, 

confirming Kerr as a master of espionage literature. 

It’s 1941 and Bernie is back from the Eastern Front, 

once again working homicide in Berlin’s Kripo and 

answering to Reinhard Heydrich, a man he both detests 

and fears. Heydrich has been newly named Reichsprotector 

of Czechoslovakia. Tipped off that there is an assassin in 

his midst, he orders Bernie to join him at his country 

estate outside Prague, where he has invited some of the 

Third Reich’s most odious officials to celebrate his new 

appointment. One of them is the would-be assassin. Bernie 

can think of better ways to spend a beautiful autumn 

weekend, but, as he says, “You don’t say no to Heydrich 

and live.” 

PhiliP keRR is the author of seven 

Bernie Gunther novels. As P. B. Kerr, he is the 

author of the young adult series Children of 

the Lamp. He lives in London. 

“ Kerr is the only bona fide heir to 

Raymond Chandler.” 

—Jonathan Ames, Salon 

“ In terms of narrative, plot, and 

characterization, [Kerr is] in a league 

with John le Carré.” 

—Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post

A Map of Tulsa 

A Novel 

Benjamin Lytal 

The first days of summer, Tulsa, Oklahoma: Jim Praley 

is back from college, ready to unlock the secrets of his 

hometown. He drives the highways. He forces himself to 

get out of his car and walk into a bar. He gets invited to a 

party. He meets Adrienne Booker, a wealthy high-school 

dropout living in a downtown penthouse. She is way out of 

his league, but somehow, as an unlikely couple, they click. 

With Adrienne, Jim feels at home in Tulsa for the first 

time. College seems very remote; the city’s anonymous 

skyscrapers have never looked better. 

In the tradition of Michael Chabon’s The Mysteries 

of Pittsburgh, A Map of Tulsa is elegiac, graceful, and as 

much a story about young love as it is a love letter to a 

classic American city. 

BenJAMin lytAl has written 

for the Wall Street Journal, the Los 

Angeles Times, Bookforum, the Believer, 

McSweeney’s, Fence, and the Nation. He 

has worked at the New Yorker, taught at 

the Pratt Institute, and written a column on 

new fiction for the New York Sun. Originally 

from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Lytal graduated from 

Harvard and lives in Chicago. 

“ A Map of Tulsa is a remarkable novel. 

Benjamin Lytal has written a glorious and 

exquisitely crafted work of art, one that 

poignantly brings to life all the joy and 

heartbreak of youth with compassion, grace, 

and wisdom.” —Dinaw Mengestu, author of

From A Map of Tulsa: 

I remember the heat the day I came home. I leaned my 

forehead against my parents’ picture window and the 

heat came through the glass. Tulsa. For a few days I 

drove, sailing south on 169 and coming back, sweeping 

across on the Broken Arrow, retracing old lines, bearing 

down with new force. My parents were very kind. But I 

decided I had to go to the bars. 

In the city of my elementary school, and of my good 

blue-carpeted church, this was a step I had never taken. 

I knew where to go: Across from the Mexican restaurant 

where my parents now ate after-church lunch there 

was a row of bars—in Tulsa’s warehouse district. They 

didn’t card here. I parked, I could hear my dashboard 

clock tick. And even as I watched, three teenage girls 

in peasant dresses filed out of the Blumont and lit their 

cigarettes. The sun was setting, the brick wall caught 

fire. The three girls stood there for some reason, as if in 

front of a firing squad, squinting in the sun.

The Secret History of Joan of Arc 

Nancy Goldstone 

Joan of Arc, the brave peasant girl who heard the voices of 

angels and helped restore her king to the throne of France, 

astonished her contemporaries and continues to fascinate us 

today. Until now, though, her relationship with Yolande of Aragon, 

the ambitious and beautiful queen of Sicily—mother-in-law to the 

dauphin—has been little known. In a stunning work filled with 

intrigue, madness, and mysticism, Nancy Goldstone solves the 

thrilling mystery by showing that if you pry open the Queen’s 

secrets, you will find the Maid’s. Caught in the complex dynastic 

battle of the Hundred Years War, Yolande of Aragon championed 

the dauphin’s cause. As French hopes dimmed, a courageous 

young woman arrived from the farthest recesses of the kingdom. 

But how did she gain an audience with a king? Was it only God’s 

hand that moved Joan of Arc—or was it also Yolande of Aragon’s?

Constance Harding lives in Surrey in a chocolate-box house

Or it would be if her housekeeper’s undergarments weren’t 

popping up in her husband’s study, her twenty-five-year-old 

son could just find a nice girl, and her teenage daughter weren’t 

turning into a spandex-clad strumpet. But overnight, this daffy, 

lovable everywoman’s eyes are opened, and she flees the nest. 

Evocative of a more—ahem—mature Bridget Jones’s Diary, 

Ceri Radford’s witty debut will have readers cheering as 

Constance discovers the adventure and happiness she thought 

it was too late to find—from partying in Ibiza to riding bareback 

with a handsome gaucho whose only English words are “Britney” 

and “Spears.”

“ A new genre of nature 

writing, located between 

science and poetry.” 

—Edward O. Wilson, Harvard University 

A biologist reveals the secret world 

hidden in a single square meter of forest 

The Forest Unseen 

A Year’s Watch in Nature 

David George Haskell 

Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is 

a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Biologist David George 

Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee 

forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost 

daily for one year to trace nature’s path through the seasons, he 

brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Beginning with 

simple observations—a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter, 

the first blossom of spring wildflowers—Haskell spins a brilliant 

web of biology, ecology, and poetry, explaining the science binding 

together ecosystems that have cycled for thousands—sometimes 

millions—of years. 

n Has a very wide appeal, from serious science buffs to fans of 

Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver

A powerful new collection from an awardwinning 

poet 

Anatomy of Melancholy 

And Other Poems 

Robert Wrigley 

Robert Wrigley has become one of his generation’s most 

accomplished poets, renowned for his irony, power, and lucid style 

and for his ability to fuse narrative and lyrical impulses. Like its 

namesake—Robert Burton’s seventeenth-century examination of 

human thoughts and emotions—Wrigley’s new collection means 

to examine our world through the lens of melancholia. From 

imagined war memorials to insomniac chickens; from Descartes’ 

lost daughter to a dreaming tree; from King Kong to Rush 

Limbaugh; and from Anna Karenina to a man named Lucy Doolin 

(short for Lucifer), these are poems that elegize and celebrate that 

most beautiful, exasperating, joyous, miserable, and perfectly 

imperfect of all creatures—the human being. 

RoBeRt wRigley is the author of eight collections of poetry, 

including In the Bank of Beautiful Sins, a finalist for the Lenore Marshall 

Prize; Reign of Snakes, winner of the 2000 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award; 

Lives of the Animals, winner of the 2004 Poet’s Prize; and, most 

recently, Beautiful Country. He teaches at the University of Idaho and 

lives with his wife, the writer Kim Barnes, near Moscow, Idaho.

A fascinating new work from an 

internationally renowned poet 

Gossamurmur 

Anne Waldman 

Acclaimed for her visionary, incantatory verse and her 

experimental ethos, Anne Waldman’s newest book-length 

poem is an allegory of a radical spirit in lockdown, dominated by 

“Deciders” and “Imposters” who threaten the future of poetry 

and its archive. A doppelganger nightmare ensues: the imposter 

“Anne” is a succubus, and the original Anne has to break free from 

a metaphorical castle of torture and psychological domination. 

There are travels through Vedic cosmology and ancient Japan 

before resolution on a treeless tundra, where fragile life forms 

struggle to survive. Waldman’s oracular poem is a witty meditation 

on identity theft and a searing plea for the primacy of imagination 

and for collective sanity in our provocative yet precarious time. 

Anne wAldMAn is a celebrated poet, performer, 

professor, editor, and cultural activist. She is the author of more 

than forty books, including Marriage: A Sentence; Structure 

of the World Compared to a Bubble; Manatee/Humanity; and 

the feminist epic The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism 

of Concealment. A recipient of the Poetry Society of America’s 

Shelley Memorial Award and a Chancellor of the Academy of 

American Poets, she lives in New York City and Boulder, Colorado.

Epicurus

Foreword by Daniel Klein 

The teachings of Epicurus—about life and death, religion and 

science, physical sensation, happiness, morality, and friendship— 

attracted legions of adherents throughout the ancient 

Mediterranean world and deeply influenced later European 

thought. Though Epicurus faced hostile opposition for centuries 

after his death, he counts among his many admirers Thomas 

Hobbes, Thomas Jefferson, Karl Marx, and Isaac Newton. This 

volume includes all of his extant writings—his letters, doctrines, 

and Vatican sayings—alongside parallel passages from the 

greatest exponent of his philosophy, Lucretius, extracts from 

Diogenes Laertius’ Life of Epicurus, a lucid introductory essay 

about Epicurean philosophy, and a foreword by Daniel Klein, 

author of Travels with Epicurus and coauthor of the New York 

Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar.

Henderson the Rain King 

Saul Bellow 

Introduction by Adam Kirsch 

Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a 

highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about 

a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more 

rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson’s 

awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win 

him the admiration of the tribe—but it is his gift for making rain 

that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often 

ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at 

the forces that drive a man through life.

A major new translation of Thomas More’s 

popular work of philosophical fiction 

Utopia 

Thomas More 

Translated with an Introduction by Dominic Baker-Smith 

In his most famous and controversial book, Utopia, Thomas More 

imagines a perfect island nation where thousands live in peace 

and harmony, men and women are both educated, and all property 

is communal. Through dialogue and correspondence between the 

protagonist Raphael Hythloday and his friends and contemporaries, 

More explores the theories behind war, political disagreements, 

social quarrels, and wealth distribution and imagines the 

day-to-day lives of those citizens enjoying freedom from fear, oppression, 

violence, and suffering. Originally written in Latin, this 

vision of an ideal world is also a scathing satire of Europe in the 

sixteenth century and has been hugely influential since publication, 

shaping utopian fiction even today. 

n New translation 

n The previous Penguin Classics edition has sold more than 

100,000 copies 

n Contains two new appendices: an example of contemporary 

travel literature and an adage by Erasmus 

thoMAs MoRe (1477/8–1535) was an English lawyer, 

philosopher, and statesman. In 1534 he was tried as a traitor at 

Westminster Hall for his refusal to accept the royal supremacy over 

the church and was later beheaded on Tower Hill. He was canonized 

by Pope Pius XI in 1935.

An authoritative new translation of Plato’s 

foundational work of Western philosophy 

The Republic 

Plato 

Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Christopher Rowe 

The Republic is Plato’s masterwork. It was written 2,400 years 

ago and remains one of the most widely read books in the world, 

famous for both the richness of its ideas and the virtuosity of its 

writing. Presented as a dialogue between Plato’s teacher Socrates 

and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to study philosophy, 

inviting its readers to reflect on the choices we must make if we 

are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work 

creates a picture of an ideal society governed not money, power, or 

fame, but by philosophy, wisdom, and justice. 


n Part of a new series of the works of Plato in Penguin Classics 

PlAto (c. 427–347 BC) founded the Academy in Athens, the 

prototype of all Western universities, and wrote more than twenty 

philosophical dialogues.

A lively new translation of Rousseau’s 

best-known work, accompanied by 

additional political writings 

Of the Social Contract 

and Other Political 

Writings 

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 

Translated by Quintin Hoare 

Introduction and Notes by Christopher Bertram 

“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains” are the famous 

opening words of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Social Contract, a 

work of political philosophy that has stirred vigorous debate ever 

since its publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a 

natural right to sovereignty, Rousseau argues instead for a pact— 

a “social contract”—that should exist among all the citizens of a 

state and that should be the source of governing power. From this 

premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and justice, arriving 

at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for 

totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles. 


n Includes additional political writings not in the previous edition 

or competing volumes 

n The previous edition sold 6,000 copies per year 

JeAn-JACques RousseAu (1712–1778) is the author of 

numerous political and philosophical texts as well as entries on music for 

Diderot’s Encyclopédie and the novels La nouvelle Héloïse and Émile.

articles from major newspapers and underground presses, oral 

histories, police reports, and FBI files, to shine a brighter light on 

Malcolm’s life and times. Conceived as both a companion to the 

biography and a standalone volume, and assembled by Marable 

and his key researcher, Garrett Felber, prior to Marable’s untimely 

death, The Portable Malcolm X Reader presents an invaluable 

portrait of Malcolm X.

scholars, including George Plimpton, James Baldwin, and Robin Kelley, 

as well as excerpts from Malcolm X’s speeches and 

newspaper editorials

A new collection of John Donne’s verse, 

from the witty conceit of “The Flea” to 

the intense spirituality of his Divine Poems 

Collected Poetry 

John Donne 

Edited by Christopher Ricks 

Introduction and Notes by Ilona Bell 

Regarded by many as the greatest of the metaphysical poets, John 

Donne was also among the most intriguing figures of the Elizabethan 

Age. A sensualist who composed erotic and playful love poetry 

in his youth, he was raised a Catholic but later became one 

of the most admired Protestant preachers of his time. Reflecting 

this wide diversity, Collected Poetry includes his youthful songs 

and sonnets, epigrams, elegies, letters, satires, and the profoundly 

moving Divine Poems composed toward the end of his life. From 

joyful works such as “The Flea,” which transforms the image of a 

louse into something marvelous, to the intimate and intense Holy 

Sonnets, Donne breathed new vigor into poetry by drawing startling 

metaphors from the world in which he lived. 

n A landmark new edition that includes updated Donne scholarship 

from two renowned Elizabethan scholars 

n Penguin’s previous edition of Donne’s collected poetry has sold 

more than 180,000 copies worldwide 

John donne (1572–1631) was an English poet, satirist, 

lawyer, and priest famous for his spellbinding sermons. 

ChRistoPheR RiCks is the William M. and Sara B. Warren 

Professor of the Humanities and codirector of the Editorial Institute at 

Boston University. 

ilonA Bell is a professor of English literature at Williams 

College, Massachusetts. She has published widely on Renaissance 

literature and is the author of several books on Donne, his courtship, 

and his love poetry.

The Divine Comedy 

Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso 

Dante Alighieri 

Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Robin Kirkpatrick 

Cover by Eric Drooker 

An epic masterpiece and a foundational work of the 

Western canon, The Divine Comedy describes Dante’s 

descent into Hell with Virgil as his guide; his ascent of 

Mount Purgatory and reunion with his dead love, Beatrice; 

and, finally, his arrival in Heaven. Examining questions 

of faith, desire, and enlightenment and furnished with 

semiautobiographical details, Dante’s poem is a brilliantly 

nuanced and moving allegory of human redemption. This 

acclaimed blank verse translation is published here for 

the first time in a one-volume edition. 

dAnte AlighieRi (1265–1321) was born in Florence and is considered 

Italy’s greatest poet. It is believed that the Divine Comedy was written between 

1308 and 1320. 

RoBin kiRkPAtRiCk is a professor of Italian and English literature at the 

University of Cambridge and has written a number of books on Dante and on the 

Renaissance. 

eRiC dRookeR is an award-winning painter and graphic novelist who has 

illustrated dozens of covers for the New Yorker and designed the animation for the 

film Howl, based on the poem by Allen Ginsberg. He lives in Berkeley, California. 

month 

“ The perfect balance of tightness and 

colloquialism . . . Likely to be the best modern 

version of Dante.” —Bernard O’Donoghue 

“ Kirkpatrick brings a more nuanced sense 

of the Italian and a more mediated 

appreciation of the poem’s construction than 

nearly all of his competitors.” 

—The Times (London) 

“ We gain much from Kirkpatrick’s fidelity to 

syntax and nuance. . . . His introduction . . . 

tells you, very readably indeed, pretty much all 

you need for a heightened appreciation of the 

work.” —The Guardian (London)

At last, Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” enters Penguin Classics, 

sixty-five years after it shocked America audiences and elicited 

the most responses of any piece in New Yorker history. In her 

gothic visions of small-town America, Jackson, the author of such 

masterworks as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always 

Lived in the Castle, turns an ordinary world into a supernatural 

nightmare. This eclectic collection goes beyond her horror writing, 

revealing the full spectrum of her literary genius. In addition 

to Come Along with Me, Jackson’s unfinished novel about the 

quirky inner life of a lonely widow, it features sixteen short stories 

and three lectures she delivered during her last years.

Death of a Hero 

Richard Aldington 

Introduction by James H. Meredith 

Based on the author’s experiences on the Western Front, Richard 

Aldington’s first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of 

Penguin Classics. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists 

in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets 

sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion 

through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war 

and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Aldington’s 

writing about Britian’s ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers 

is among the most biting ever published. Death of a Hero vividly 

evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward 

the its astounding finish. 


n July 2014 marks the centennial of the start of World War I 

n Features an introduction by war literature scholar James H. Meredith 

RiChARd Aldington (1892–1962) was known as a 

translator, critic, and poet of distinction. He joined the British Army in 

1916 and was wounded in 1918.

From Diogenes to Julian

The Greek Cynics owned no property and rejected fame and 

fortune, living almost entirely out of doors while surviving on wild 

plants and water from natural springs. They promoted ideals such 

as self-sufficiency, freedom, detachment, shamelessness, and 

toughness, and their philosophy penetrated not only Greek but 

also Roman civilization. This unique anthology draws together 

the writings on and by various Cynic philosophers, from founding 

figures Antisthenes and Diogenes of Sinope to Hipparchia, one 

of the few female philosophers in antiquity, and fourth-century 

Roman emperor Julian “the apostate.”

by Peter Wortsman 

Franz Kafka posthumously cornered the nightmare market in the 

twentieth century. Yet in our adulation of Kafka’s wonderfully 

bizarre prose, English-language readers tend to overlook the 

fact that he was not spawned Athena-like from the cranium of 

German literature. Kafka had his precursors among the German 

Romantics, as well as his contemporaries working in kindred 

veins and his heirs in post–World War II Germany, Austria, and 

Switzerland. This rich and varied anthology gathers together 

many haunting stories, from the dark fairy tales of the Brothers 

Grimm, to Kafka’s own chilling satire “In the Penal Colony,” to the 

surreal fantasies of Kurt Schwitter in “The Onion.”

Letters to a Young Poet 

Rainer Maria Rilke 

Translated with an Afterword and Notes by Charlie Louth 

Introduction by Lewis Hyde 

At the start of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke 

wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising 

him on writing, love, sex, suffering, and the nature of 

advice itself. These profound and lyrical letters have since 

become hugely influential for generations of writers and 

artists of all kinds, including Lady Gaga and Patti Smith. 

With honesty, elegance, and a deep understanding of the 

loneliness that often comes with being an artist, Rilke’s 

letters are an endless source of inspiration and comfort. 

Lewis Hyde’s new introduction explores the context in 

which these letters were written and how the author 

embraced his isolation as a creative force. 

RAineR MARiA Rilke (1875–1926) studied literature, art history, 

and philosophy in both Munich and Prague and is often considered one of the 

German language’s greatest twentieth-century poets. His two most famous 

verse sequences are the Sonnets to Orpheus and the Duino Elegies; his 

two most famous prose works are Letters to a Young Poet and the semiautobiographical 

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. 

ChARlie louth is a fellow at Queen’s College, Oxford, where he 

lectures in German. He is the author of Hölderlin and the Dynamics 

of Translation. 

lewis hyde is the author of the hundred-million-copy bestseller The Gift. 

A MacArthur fellow and former director of undergraduate creative writing at 

Harvard University, Hyde is a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet 

and Society. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Gambier, Ohio. 

“ I cannot think of a better book to put into 

the hands of any young would-be poet, as 

an inspirational guide to poetry and to 

surviving as a poet in a hostile world.” 

—Harry Fainlight, The Times (London) 

“ I read Rilke’s Letters to a Young 

Poet every day.” —Lady Gaga

Swann’s Way (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

For the centennial of Swann’s Way: 

the most complete volume of Proust’s 

poetry ever assembled, in a gorgeous 

deluxe edition 

The Collected Poems 

A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text 

Marcel Proust 

Introduction and Notes by Harold Augenbraum 

118 APRIL “Penguin Classics Presents” event 

As a young man, Proust wrote both poetry and prose. Even after 

he embarked on his masterful In Search of Lost Time at the age of 

thirty-eight, he never stopped writing poetry. His verse is often 

playful, filled with affection and satire, and is peppered with 

witty barbs at friends and people in his social circle of aristocrats, 

writers, musicians, and courtesans. 

Few of the poems collected here under the editorship of 

Harold Augenbraum, founder of the Proust Society of America, 

have ever been published in book form or translated into English 

until now. In this dual-language edition of new translations, 

Augenbraum has brought together nineteen renowned poets and 

poetry translators to bring Proust’s exuberant verse back to life. 


n A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition featuring french flaps and 

deckle-edged paper 

n A dual-language edition 

n Includes translations by Richard Howard, Lydia Davis, and 

Rosanna Warren, among many others 

n 2013 is the centennial of the first publication of Swann’s Way 

n April is National Poetry Month 

MARCel PRoust (1871–1922) spent his twenties as a conspicuous 

society figure, but after 1907 he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his 

apartment where he devoted himself to the composition of In Search of Lost Time. 

hARold AugenBRAuM is the executive director of the National Book 

Foundation and founder of the Proust Society of America, and he has previously 

translated José Rizal and Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca for Penguin Classics. He 

lives in New York City.

One of Japan’s most treasured novels— 

new to Penguin Classics 

Botchan 

Natsume Sōseki 

Translated by J. Cohn 

A hilarious tale about a young man’s rebellion against “the system” 

in a country school, Natsume So- seki’s Botchan has enjoyed a 

timeless popularity in Japan. The setting is Japan’s deep south, 

where the author himself spent some time teaching English in a 

boys’ school. Into this conservative world, with its social proprieties 

and established pecking order, breezes Botchan, down from the big 

city and with scant respect for either his elders or his noisy young 

charges. The result is a light, funny, fast-paced novel. 


nAtsuMe so – seki (1867–1916) is widely considered the 

foremost novelist of the Meiji era. 

J. Cohn teaches Japanese literature at the University of Hawaii.

Imperial Rome, translated by Michael Grant) 




A compelling new translation of a vital 

account of Roman history 

Annals 

Tacitus 

Translated with an Introduction by Cynthia Damon 

With clarity and vivid intensity, Tacitus’s Annals recounts the 

pivotal events in Roman history from the years shortly before 

the death of Augustus to the death of Nero in 68 AD, including 

the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of 

Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, 

conspiracies, and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite 

Tacitus’s claim that they were written objectively, the Annals 

is sharply critical of the emperors’ excesses and fearful for the 

future of imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its 

past glories. 


n Includes chronologies, notes, appendices, a genealogy, and an 

introduction by the translator 

tACitus (c. 56–120 AD), known in Rome for his impressive 

oratory, maintained a political career as a senator under Vespasian, 

Titus, and Domitian.
