    85-year-old Hendrik Groen is fed up to his false teeth with coffee mornings and bingo.He dreams of escaping the confines of his care home and practicing hairpin turns on his mobility scooter. Inspired by his fellow members of the recently formed Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he vows to put down his Custard Cream and commit to a spot of octogenarian anarchy.But the care home's Director will not stand for drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks and geriatric romance on her watch. The Old-But-Not-Dead Club must stick together if they're not to go gently into that good night. Things turn more serious, however, when rumours surface that the home is set for demolition. It's up to Hendrik and the gang to stop it - or drop dead trying . . .He may be the wrong side of 85, but Hendrik Groen has no intention of slowing up - or going down without a fight.Praise for Hendrik Groen'A story with a great deal of heart, it pulled me in with its self-deprecating humour, finely drawn characters and important themes. Anyone who hopes to grow old with dignity will have much to reflect on' Graeme Simsion'There are many laughs in this book but it's so much more than just a comedy. It's a story about how friendship, selflessness and dignity lie at the heart of the human experience.

We live in an ageing society. The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen is a handbook of resistance for our time' FIVE STARS Sunday Express'Highly entertaining ... a delightful and touching saga of one man's way of coping with old age ... we may assume that Hendrik Groen is a character of fiction. But it is a fiction so closely based on the observation of real life that it is utterly convincing' Daily Express'A joy to read, as much concerned with friendship and dignity as it is with the debilitating effects of aging ... An entertaining and uplifting story of a man in the winter of his days, stoic in the face of bureaucratic nonsense and an unabashed need to wear a nappy. Imagined or not, this is the diary of someone who wants nothing more than to be allowed see out his days with dignity and respect. It's not too much to ask, really, is it?'

    Part of "Penguin's" beautiful hardback "Clothbound Classics" series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with Virgil as a guide, "Inferno" depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins. As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters doomed souls including the pagan Aeneas, the liar Odysseus, the suicide Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, damned for their deceit. Led by leering demons, the poet must ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all. For it is only by encountering Satan, in the heart of Hell, that he can truly understand the tragedy of sin.

    Los mejores libros jamás escritos Las fábulas completas de Esopo enuna traducción contemporáneaEl nombre de Esopo se utiliza para abarcar una larga tradición defábulas que configuran de algún modo el origen del imaginario moral de la cultura europea. El presente volumen recoge todas las fábulas detradición esópica que, aunque variada procedencia, fueron concebidasen griego. Protagonizados generalmente por animales, estos peque?os ymemorables cuentos -que Sócrates se sabía de memoria- nos muestran,hoy como ayer, las tensiones, las miserias, el esplendor, la felicidad y el miedo del alma humana. De ello son buenos ejemplos las célebresfábulas de la liebre y la tortuga, la zorra y las uvas o elpastorcillo mentiroso, peque?os relatos de origen popular de loscuales se extrae siempre una moraleja.La reciente y brillante traducción de Júlia Sabaté y la introducciónde Robert Temple ayudan a iluminar la vieja sabiduría que siguerespirándose en las páginas de algunos de los cuentos más célebres dela historia de la literatura.«También entre los hombres hay ignorantes que, con la esperanza deobtener cosas mejores, dejan escapar las que tienen en sus manos.»

    History leaves traces of the people - Byron, Shakespeare, Rimbaud, Leonardo - living through it, in portraits, documents and books. In "Traces Remain", Charles Nicholl, the acclaimed author of "The Reckoning", "The Lodger: Shakespeare on Silver Street" and "Leonardo da Vinci: The Flights of the Mind", transforms these glimpses through time into comic and poignant vignettes, and curious, intriguing puzzles. From a mysterious painting found in a Hereford house to the death of an alchemist, and from a new Jack the Ripper suspect to a gold hunt in El Dorado, Nicholl's twenty-five fascinating essays take in two murders, three disappearances and a missing Shakespeare play to show the marvel and tenacity of these wonderful historical traces. "Our finest literary and historical detective...Deliciously readable". ("Financial Times"). "Charles Nicholl confirms his role as literature's historic Holmes ...thoroughly captivating". ("Scotsman"). "Some writers are so good at what they do that they can take you anywhere. Charles Nicholl is one of them". ("Irish Times").
