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 authors

Hayden Ahlbrandt, LPC, is a synergetic play therapist supervisor and dad of three who helps kids and adults make sense of emotions and behaviors. He believes that when we understand what’s happening, both for our kids and ourselves, it helps us respond more intentionally with connection, compassion, and playfulness. When he’s not talking about emotions, Hayden is spending time with his wife, chasing after his kids, playing beach volleyball, and exploring the world with his family.
