Espionage, political intrigue, faith, and moral ambiguity are at the heart of Graham Greene’s enduring body of work.
Across novels like The Quiet American, The End of the Affair, The Human Factor, and The Ministry of Fear, Greene explores the complexities of human nature through characters caught between loyalty and betrayal, belief and doubt, and personal desire and moral responsibility.
Drawing on his experiences as a traveler, journalist, and intelligence officer during World War II, Greene's writing moves between political thrillers, intimate dramas, and reflections on the uncertainties of modern life.

New to Penguin Classics: A 50th-anniversary edition of Judith Guest's Ordinary People, featuring a foreword by psychoanalyst and New York Times bestselling novelist and memoirist Amy Bloom.
One of the foremost literary bestsellers of our time, Ordinary People tells the story of the Jarretts, a typical American family. Calvin is a determined, successful provider, and Beth is an organized, efficient wife. They had two sons, Conrad and Buck, but now they have only one. In the aftermath of their loss, the Jarretts find that what lies beneath the veneer of a perfectly ordinary family are people broken by tragedy, grown distant and unfamiliar to one another.
Fifty years later, it remains an iconic novel, distinguished by Judith Guest’s ear for dialogue and her unflinching portrait of one family’s reckoning with grief.

A witch hunt, mass hysteria, personal spite, and the collective evil. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a chilling reminder that some of literature’s most frightening stories need no ghosts or monsters. 🕯️

"All these, however, were mere terrors of the night, phantoms of the mind that walk in darkness; and though he had seen many spectres in his time, and been more than once beset by Satan in divers shapes, in his lonely pre-ambulations, yet daylight put an end to all these evils; and he would have passed a pleasent life of it, in despite of the devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was - a woman.” —Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
