Penguin Classics relaunch

Domesday Book has been described as 'the most valuable piece of antiquity possessed by any nation.' (David Hume) But a complete translation has never been available before at an affordable price. Penguin's edition will change that.
Compiled in a matter of months in 1086 at the behest of William the Conqueror, Domesday quickly established itself as document of immense legal importance. It was last consulted for legal precedent in 1982. It is also the most remarkable portrait of England in thelate eleventh century.
The publication of a complete translation of Great and Little Domesday is already being eagerly anticipated by historians. There are advance quotes from Norman Davies, Michael Wood, Roy Strong and Antonia Fraser.

About the authors

none

Ana Jarén, born in Seville in 1985, began her career in the fashion communication field in Madrid, where she is currently based. Being surrounded by designers, stylists, and magazines ignited her creative side and she began work as an illustrator.

In her work, Ana seeks the beauty of life, people, and daily scenes, always with a sharp eye for small details. She centers the world of feelings and emotions in her work, drawing people in evocative contexts to trigger memories in the viewer.

Ana works by hand, combining techniques such as markers, pencils, and acrylics, and she enjoys all of them as much as she did as a child.

Her illustrations have appeared in international publications, including Vogue, The Washington Post, Allure, and GlamourSpain. She has also illustrated books such as Jane, Almudena, Escritoras, Girls Who Green the World, and many more.

Alongside her editorial work, Ana has collaborated with numerous brands, including Bombay Sapphire, Lululemon, Just Eat, Meliá, and FNAC, as well as with institutions including the city councils of Madrid, Paris, and Seville.
