In celebration of Penguin's 80th birthday, the Little Black Catalogue lists over 1,200 of the most important books in human history

In 1946, E. V. Rieu's groundbreaking translation of The Odyssey established a cultural legacy that would bring the world's most compelling and influential literature to millions of readers around the globe. For over sixty-five years, Penguin Classics have been making works that were once the sole preserve of academics accessible to everyone; this catalogue offers a complete list of all titles in print across the list - more than 1,200 books, from Aristotle and Austen, to Zola and Zamyatin.

'The Penguin Classics, though I designed them to give pleasure even more than instruction, have been hailed as the greatest educative force of the twentieth century. And far be it for me to quarrel with that encomium, for there is no one whom they have educated more than myself' E. V. Rieu

About the author

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.
