Penguin stands out for its high-quality editions, with impeccable translation and a presentation that appeals to readers who truly love books. I talk about the ideal size of books, the yellowed pages, the perfect weight and the translations made by big names, such as José Francisco Botelho and Lawrence Flores Pereira. For those looking for a book that is functional, but also a pleasure to read, Penguin editions are the right choice. Additionally, I share my personal experience of when I started purchasing these editions and how they became part of my book club. I also commented on the quality of the translations, such as Don Quixote and Odyssey, and how this makes all the difference for a richer and more fluid reading.
