Penguin’s unique and original list reflects the brilliant excitement and originality of the very best writing of our era. From Kingsley Amis and Hannah Arendt to Virginia Woolf and W.B. Yeats, the Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics series includes the finest writers of the century. Well known statements about modern society some of these books, such as Nabokov’s Lolita and Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange became immediate cult favourites on publication, spawning screen adaptations and popular notoriety. Others, such as Jack Kerouac’s On The Road marked the spirit of the age, and have gained their following gradually to become the best seller they are today. The extracts in this book have been chosen specially to offer a flavour of the series. Often controversial, occasionally disturbing but always remarkable, the books represented here have earned, against the colourful and changing backdrop of the century, their enduring status of cult classics. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9SNGCp5I6/?igshid=utdub4j4ln4d

God, is this all it is, the ricocheting down the corridor of laughter and tears? Of self-worship and self-loathing? Of glory and disgust?
