PENGUIN CLA - JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH

Tayo, a young World War II veteran of mixed ancestry, returns home to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation.

Only by immersing himself in his ancestry can he begin to truly recover. Written in richly evocative prose that weaves deftly through timelines and traditions, Ceremony tells the moving story of Ta

CEREMONY

The ten stories collected in this volume demonstrate Tolstoy's artistic prowess displayed over five decades - experimenting with prose styles and drawing on his own experiences with humour, realism and compassion.

Illustrating Tolstoy's belief that art must serve a moral purpose, 'What Men Live By' portrays an angel sent to earth to learn three existential rules of life, and 'Two Old

PENGUIN CLA - ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

The crowning plays of one of Ireland's most heralded artists Oscar Wilde was at once a family man and a homosexual outsider, a socialite, socialist, and Irish nationalist.

Known not only for his brilliant, epigrammatic language, but also for his sense of theatrical design, color, and staging, Wilde create

PENGUIN CLA - WASHINGTON SQUARE

Five masterful dramatic works from one of the world's best-loved playwrights, including The Seagull—now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan, Elizabeth Moss, and Annette Bening At a time when the Russian theatre was dominated by formulaic melodramas and farces, Chekhov created a new sort of drama that laid bare the everyday lives, loves and yearnings of ordinary people. Ivanov depicts a man stifled by inactivity and lost idealism, and The Seagull contrasts a young man's selfish romantic

PENGUIN CLA - THE LONGEST JOURNEY

Nostromo, published in 1904, is one of Conrad's finest works.
