Kötetünkkel ​új sorozatot indítunk útjára. Szórakoztató könyveinket azoknak szánjuk, akik már szeretnének angolul olvasni, de még nem tudnak akármit elolvasni. A sorozat három különböző nyelvi szint igényeit kívánja kielégíteni. A "zöld" kötetek a legkönnyebbek, a "kék" könyvek kicsit nehezebbek, a "piros" kötetek a legnehezebbek, de azok sem haladják meg az állami nyelvvizsga középfokú szintjét. A sorozat címe is jelzi, hogy könyveink célja a szórakoztatva tanítás. Nem kell hozzájuk már, csak egy kényelmes karosszék. Reméljük, hogy az izgalmas, mulatságos és néha szomorú történetek épp olyan kellemes élményt nyújtanak, mintha csak a saját anyanyelvünkön olvasnánk a karosszékben.

Thomas Hardy - Jude ​the Obscure (Penguin Readers)
"Upon ​its first appearance in 1895, Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure shocked Victorian critics and readers with a frank depiction of sexuality and an unbridled indictment of the institutions of marriage, education, and religion - reportedly causing one Anglican bishop to order the book publicly burned. The experience so exhausted Hardy that he never wrote a work of fiction again." Rich in symbolism, Jude the Obscure is the story of Jude Fawley and his struggle to rise from his station as a poor Wessex stone mason to that of a scholar at Christminster. It is also the story of Jude's ill-fated relationship with his cousin Sue Bridehead - and the ultimate tragedy that causes Jude's undoing and Sue's transformation. Jude the Obscure explores man's essential loneliness and remains one of Hardy's most widely read novels.
