书籍简介

迷你版布纹经典系列：不可抗拒的，世界上伟大的作家的短篇小说，中篇小说和散文的迷你版，由获奖的科拉莉比克福德-史密斯设计。

为了庆祝企鹅经典的范围和多样性，它们带我们从白雪皑皑的日本到春天的维也纳，从闹鬼的新英格兰到阳光普照的地中海岛屿，从海洋上的象棋游戏到月球上的爱情故事。这些珍藏版设计精美，印刷精美，采用彩色触感布料装订，并贴有金属箔。

很少有作家像美国作家卡森·麦卡勒斯那样，以如此强大的力量和诗意的情感表达孤独、对人类理解的需求和对爱的追求。《伤心咖啡馆之歌》是她的代表作：一部不羁的、苦乐参半的中篇小说，讲述了不可能的三角恋。

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.

Few writers have expressed loneliness, the need for human understanding and the search for love with such power and poetic sensibility as the American writer Carson McCullers. The Ballad of the Sad Cafe is her masterpiece: an unruly, bittersweet novella concerning the most unlikely of love triangles.

The Member of the Wedding was dramatized for the stage in the 1950s and filmed in 1952 and 1997. Other films based on her books are Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967, with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968, starring Alan Arkin) and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1991).
