Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.
In this inspirational, allegorical guide, Al Mustafa the prophet delivers spiritual yet practical homilies on the work of living: beauty, truth, possessions, sorrow, joy, death and more. Translated into more than fifty languages and among the best-selling books of all time, The Prophet remains a wise and revitalising handbook for the soul.

—— Time"A sweeping account as tangled and chaotic-and fascinating-as the dreams themselves . . . It reinfuses the dreamscape with beauty, mystery and significance . . . The Oracle of Night takes a breakneck journey through history, from cave paintings and the ancient Greeks to Celtic myths, Egyptian pharaohs, Gilgamesh and Julius Caesar. The text, translated from the Portuguese by Daniel Hahn, moves fluidly from systemic historiography to guesswork and lighthearted extrapolation . . . The result is a curiously hybridized book, at times playful, at times intensely scientific . . . Poetic and visceral."
—— The Wall Street Journal'A detailed, complex guide to the history, science, philosophy and psychology of dreams'
—— The Independent'It has a sound scientific core...and it's argument stands up. Dreams matter. They deserve our serious attention.'
—— The Sunday Times'In this fascinating book Professor Sidarta Ribeiro, a neuroscientist, reveals what is going on when we close our eyes for the night.'
—— The Mail on Sunday'His work is more poetic than merely factual, and the esoteric significance of dreaming is discussed in an equally compelling manner...the appealing mystery of the topic is never lost.'
—— The Press and Journal (Inverness, Highlands & Islands)'[Ribeiro] lifts the lid on the human mind. The Oracle of Night contains a number of interesting insights...and includes the intriguing possibility of a link between dreams and psychosis.'
—— The Guardian'Ribeiro's arguments are seductive, convincing, and persuasive...this wealth of scientific research is impressive.'
—— Irish Independent[Ruby Wax] is a force of nature, but also like so many of us, an incredibly fragile one [...] Her latest book is possibly her most honest yet.
