This witty allegory lampoons French history from ancient to modern times, taking satirical swipes at socialists, royalists, industrialists, militarists, and even the Dreyfus affair, and concludi...(展开全部)

I may only be in fourth grade, but I know more than most adults. I take notes every day and read all kinds of books, so I have a solid grasp on the world around me. But suddenly, there are penguins in my town! I know it has something to do with the lady at the dentist and her weird powers, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it...

1935年开始，企鹅图书在英国出版界掀起了“平装书革命”，它将优秀的装帧设计与经典作品相结合，逐渐成了优质图书的品牌保证，也成了封面设计的潮流风向标。本书是2010年企鹅图书成立75周年之际，其艺术总监保罗·巴克利从近十年左右的企鹅图书封面设计中，甄选大众所熟知的企鹅经典系列、企鹅刺青系列和格雷厄姆·格林等系列，以及虽稍显小众但令人惊艳的《想象的动物》《房客莎士比亚》和《不存在的女儿》等的经典设计案例75款。他将作者、设计总监、设计师、编辑和摄影师们等对于封面设计从雏形到诞生的“争论”，呈现在集中的空间中，让我们从或嬉笑怒骂、或赞不绝口的交谈中，窥见企鹅图书封面设计的时代流变。
