One of the earliest and most astonishing examples of surrealist writingInsolent and defiant, the Chants de Maldoror, by the self-styled Comte de Lautréamont (1846-70), depicts a sinister and sadistic world of unrestrained savagery and brutality. One of the earliest and most astonishing examples of surrealist writing, it follows the experiences of Maldoror, a master of disguises pursued by the police as the incarnation of evil, as he makes his way through a nightmarish realm of angels and gravediggers, hermaphrodites and prostitutes, lunatics and strange children. Delirious, erotic, blasphemous and grandiose by turns, this hallucinatory novel captured the imagination of artists and writers as diverse as Modigliani, Verlaine, André Gide and André Breton; it was hailed by the twentieth-century Surrealist movement as a formative and revelatory masterpiece.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Menjadi dewasa adalah mutlak. Manusia tak bisa kembali ke masa kanak-kanaknya. Tetapi, menjadi dewasa dan selalu berpikir kompleks, pelik, dan serius bukanlah sesuatu yang bisa kita jadikan kebiasaan terus-menerus. Sesekali kita perlu memelihara sifat kekanakan kita dan berpikir seperti saat kita masih anak-anak, apa adanya. The Little Prince adalah fabel klasik dari Prancis yang tak lekang oleh zaman tentang makna hidup dan sifat dasar manusia. Buku dengan judul asli Le Petit Prince ini mampu melintasi batas usia, budaya, dan bangsa sehingga banyak diterjemahkan ke berbagai bahasa. Kisahnya memang unik dan ajaib, sebab Pangeran Kecil ini mampu mengubah cara pandang orang dewasa terhadap banyak hal dan, mungkin juga Anda termasuk salah satunya. Kisah ini dimulai dari terdamparnya seorang pilot di salah satu gurun pasir di bumi. Saat ia sedang memperbaiki pesawatnya, muncul seorang anak kecil—yang entah dari mana asalnya—memintanya untuk menggambarkan seekor biri-biri. Si pilot, yang setelah menolak beberapa kali, akhirnya menggambarkan seekor biri-biri, tetapi anak kecil itu menolaknya berulang-ulang karena biri-birinya tidak cocok. Pilot tersebut tak kehabisan ide. Ia lalu menggambar sebuah kotak dan berkata, “Ini kotaknya. Biri-biri yang kau inginkan ada di dalamnya.” Tak disangka, anak kecil itu menyukainya. Inilah awal mula perkenalan sang pilot dengan pangeran kecil—begitu ia menyebut anak itu.
