I brought these yesterday ,they are part of a series of 8 books Penguin have published with a partnership with the Global H.I.V fund product red ,hopefully i will try to get some more when i can ,as i think it is a good cause and the cover designs all look great .they also added to my classic collection ,which is good as I ve not read nearly enough classic fiction .So if your out and about why don’t you pick up one the titles are –
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Therse Raquin by Emile Zola
Anne Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
The secret agent by Joseph Conrad
Great expectations by Charles dickens
The turn of the screw by Henry James
Notes from the underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The house of mirth by Edith Wharton
I like the idea of donating to the RED foundation. There are a few on this list that I still need to read. I always feel I should buy the entire series when they release 8 similarly designed books, but then I already own Wharton and Tolstoy so I don’t think I’d buy those.
they all look great iris ,i like idea of donating to red too ,stu
I bought the Therese Raquin, it’s beautiful!
yes it has there all lovely ,all the best stu
I love that Penguin is participating in this! And such interesting covers, too. Great buy 🙂
yes great idea ,profile did a collection of short stories last year with oxfam ,all the best stu
Thank you for reminding me about these, Stu – I knew there was something I was meant to do! I have selected The House of Mirth and Great Expectations as the ones I’d like most. I haven’t read the Wharton and I have to replace my dog eared copy of Great Expectations which I had from school… 🙂
your welcome the nice looking ones i may get wharton too ,all the best stu
I love some of these (sigh). Especially the Emile Zola. Might treat myself to one but there’s absolutely no way I can buck up the extra cash for the whole set, charity or no charity.
i m not going get them ,all but designs are wonderful ,all the best stu
I SO love those covers! I want them all 🙂
yes lovely series i ll be getting a few more hopefully ,stu
