Penguin Modern Classics

A dark, psychological tale of deadly obsession, in a masterful new translation 'My dear Judge, I would like one man, just one, to understand me. And I really hope that man can be you.' In a small town in western France, Dr Charles Alavoine seems to lead the perfect life: his own medical practice, two beautiful children, a new wife and a doting mother. Yet as each quiet day of bourgeois conformity passes, Alavoine begins to feel a sharp sense of futility. Then, one rainy day in December, he meets a mysterious young woman on a station platform. Fascinated by her innocence and the scars of her past, Alavoine's passion soon gives way to a dangerous obsession, ending in a terrible act that will forever change the course of his life. First published in 1947, Letter to My Judge is a masterful exploration of the darkest corners of the human soul, and a harrowing exorcism of Simenon's phantoms.

Better English Introductory Book

George Lamming—one of the Caribbean’s most powerful literary voices, championed by Richard Wright and Jean-Paul Sartre—reimagines the age of European exploration in a work that stands as one of the great political novels of the twentieth century Under imperial orders, a nameless Commandant sets sail sometime between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, bound for the legendary island of San Cristobal—a place whispered about in maps and myths, promised as a prize of empire. The voyage is meant to secure glory and dominion. Instead, it begins to unravel. As weeks at sea stretch into obsession, the expedition becomes a dangerous test of authority and belief. The Commandant’s power is absolute yet increasingly fragile; his crew is caught between obedience and doubt. What begins as a mission of discovery turns into a voyage haunted by fear, desire, and the unspoken violence at the heart of conquest. Told through shifting perspectives and charged with poetic intensity, Natives of My Person plunges readers inside the imperial imagination at the moment it begins to crack. George Lamming transforms the historical voyage into a gripping psychological drama—one that exposes the ambitions, illusions, and brutal consequences of empire. Urgent, unsettling, and fiercely original, Natives of My Person, Lamming’s masterpiece, reveals how conquest reshapes not only the world, but the minds that seek to rule it. “George Lamming is not so much a novelist as a chronicler of secret journeys to the innermost regions of the West Indian psyche. . . an uninhibited journey to the heart of the colonizer.” —The New York Times

Natives of My Person

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now in a stunning tenth-anniversary edition, “the most important novel Jodi Picoult has ever written” (The Washington Post) tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer easy answers. This deluxe edition includes a brand-new introduction from the author and cover art in addition to gorgeous sprayed edges and a stamped case. “A gripping courtroom drama . . . Given the current political climate it is quite prescient and worthwhile. . . . This is a writer who understands her characters inside and out.”—Roxane Gay, The New York Times Book Review Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years’ experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is Black, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene? Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected advice: She insists that mentioning race in the courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by Kennedy’s counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family—especially her teenage son—as the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other’s trust, and come to see that what they’ve been taught their whole lives about others—and themselves—might be wrong.

Our English Ninth Year

A glamorous and revealing biographical novel for readers of Renee Rosen, Allison Pataki, and Fiona Davis, starring one of Swinging London’s defining figures, Mary Quant, who made history with the miniskirt, slashed hemlines, and transformed more than fashion, for herself, for her friends, and for a generation. “A lively, entertaining window into the story behind the styles, expectations, and new freedoms that reshaped women’s lives on both sides of the Atlantic.”—Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Madam&nbsp;Secretary Post-war London is a city in flux, with burned-out buildings serving as vivid reminders of the past. But beneath those scars is a sense of resurging optimism. Chrissie Walker, a new student at Goldsmiths arts college, feels it keenly. So does Mary Quant, the auburn-haired classmate who becomes Chrissie’s best friend.&nbsp; Like Chrissie, Mary wants more from life than to nab a husband and settle down. Though shy, Mary shows her daring in subtle ways, including her home-sewn clothes. Designed to run and move in, her outfits inspire Chrissie and others to reinvent their own style. They also catch the eye of charismatic fellow student Alexander Plunket Greene, who becomes Mary’s partner and helps fund the opening of Bazaar, a King’s Road shop that marks the beginning of an empire. Dresses with ever-rising hemlines, skinny-rib sweaters and Peter Pan collars, boldly patterned tights and scarves—Mary Quant’s “Chelsea look” becomes a sensation among socialites, working-class girls, and everyone in between. As the miniskirt becomes a global phenomenon, Mary Quant ignites a fashion revolution that transforms everyone in its orbit—including Chrissie, who must reconcile her own ambitions with her friend’s fame, debutante Daphne, whose life opens up in unexpected ways, and Fern, an aspiring model who will become an icon.&nbsp; In the years that follow, each will deal with the public and personal challenges faced by unconventional women willing to break the rules—and in the process, transform the world.

The Story of Fashion

From its debut in the 1920s to its reinvention on the runway, this timeless two-piece has come to define the effortless sophistication of the Chanel woman. This book traces the evolution of the Chanel suit through rare archival photography, detailed design analysis, and exclusive insights into the craftsmanship at the heart of the Chanel ateliers. It explores the suit's signature elements - the boxy jacket, braided trim, silk lining, and gilt buttons - and how each has been reinterpreted across decades by designers from Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard. Highlighting standout collections, collaborations, and couture creations, the book also celebrates the women who have worn the suit as a statement of power and poise - from Jackie Kennedy to Princess Diana, Kristen Stewart to Beyoncé. With chapters on tailoring techniques, styling tips, and the suit's lasting influence on fashion, feminism, and film, this is the ultimate homage to one of the most iconic garments in history.

The Story of the Chanel Suit

These intimate love letters reveal the open relationship between de Beauvoir and Sartre, two of the twentieth century's groundbreaking thinkers. Simone de Beauvoir lived her feminist philosophy. She never married or had children, she had affairs with both men and women, and she actively defied the norms for women of her era. At the same time, she conducted an intense, long-term relationship with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, whom she referred to as her husband. De Beauvoir and Sartre met as philosophy students in Paris in 1929. For over fifty years, until their deaths in the 1980s, the couple had a close open relationship. This book contains her letters to him, revealing the details of her everyday life and her passion for the man who shared her ideals. It is an intimate portrait of a woman living in an adventurous, complicated way in the name of individual freedom. 'For 51 years, the conversations between them created ideas, books, and a bond which other passions enraged or enriched, but never altogether ruptured. It was, for De Beauvoir, an experiment in loving' Guardian 'An opportunity to hear a vigorous and innovative thinker...speaking in her abrasive, touching, breathtakingly candid private voice' Sunday Times TRANSLATED AND EDITED BY QUINTIN HOARE
