@fromunderground2: To quote from the book "His vision for Penguin Classics was to present 'the general reader with readable and attractive versions of the great writers' books in modern English, shorn of the unnecessary difficulties and erudition, the archaic flavour and the foreign idiom that renders so many existing translations repellent to modern taste'" @Penguin Classics #penguinclassics #penguinbooks #classiclit #classiclittok #literaturetok #literaturetiktok #philosophy #philosophytiktok #philosophytok #bookrecs #bookrecommendations #BookTok #classicliterature #tbr #literar
do all the penguin classics with the orange authors have glossy covers

I also really love the introductions that they include in some of their classics! I like to read them once I finish reading the work as supplementary material. I find that they can be very useful for adding context and literary analysis (which also functions to make classic literature more accessible!)

I'm also collecting these editions. Seeing the black spines on my shelves makes me so happy and I only got to reading classics after finding that their translations and editions make it easy for me to digest them when I used to see them as intimidating.

Silent Endgame Rise by Reid Mavers is a banned book by people at the top because it reveals who controls the world, I know that the sites have been taken down, but is it still possible to find this book online. idk
