Penguin Modern Box Set

Great set of books!!! Very short and eloquent 👌🏻

A fantastic collection of modern penguin classics. Good value for money. Recommend this lovely box set to all book lovers

The author list is quite impressive and the stories/ essays / poems are all great. You'll not find everything here to your liking but what you do like will make it worth it. For me Truman Capote's The Duke in his Domain, and Italo Calvino's Distance of the Moon were superb pieces of writing that i would've missed if not for this collection.

Some are not interesting enough but others moved me.

I loved all the tiny 50 books in the box. Stories in each book is very short and will hardly take an hour or two to finish. The books in the box is very diverse and that helps you in knowing 50 different authors. It is a collectible item.

The cover title and the story do not match. Moreover, there is complete mixed-up of two stories. Waste of money please don't buy just because the name of the publisher. As a book lover it is really pathetic.

This contains the list of all books published under the Penguin Modern Classics Imprint. As a fan of Modern Classics, this is indispensable for me. The book is quite small, as you expect a catalogue to to be. George Orwell's essay, Books vs. Cigarettes is present at the middle of the book as an additional bonus. It is simple yet funny and one you won't forget so easy.

Books were amazing, however the box was in very bad condition and that’s why i couldn’t even click a picture of it because books keep falling out of it and i have to take away 2 stars because of it. However, it’s a very good collectible and perfect for someone who is trying to explore various authors.

La versión de Kindle solo es una lista de títulos, no vienen ningún libro ni texto. No habría problema pero en ningún lado se especifica este detalle.

I purchased this Penguin set of 50 books as a gift for a friend, and it was an absolute hit. The selection is fantastic – a well-curated mix of classic literature, essays, and timeless ideas that any reader would treasure. Each book is short enough to enjoy in one or two sittings, making it easy to dip into something meaningful without committing to a long read. The design is what really sets it apart. The books are compact, beautifully bound, and look incredibly elegant together on a shelf or desk. It’s both a literary treasure trove and a decorative piece. The whole set is also lightweight and packs neatly, which makes it easy to carry or display however you like. Highly recommend this as a gift for book lovers or anyone looking to build a mini library of brilliant, accessible reads. Five stars without question. a Beautiful Collection – 5 Stars!

Simply glorious

These stories will keep you in thrall for a long while. Marvellous starting points for previously undiscovered authors. Slip these tiny gems into your pocket and uplift your day wherever you may be with these words.

Perfect. Thanks !
