Penguin Great Loves (UK)

[Stewart]

If there's anyone out there in the UK interested in the Penguin Great Loves collection, then I suppose it's worthwhile bringing to your attention that you can buy all 20 books in the series for a jaw-dropping £15 from The Book People.

Each of the books is £4.99 in the shops, meaning buying this set will save £84.80.

3. Cures For Love, Stendahl
4. Doomed Love, Virgil
5. First Love, Ivan Turgenev
6. Giovanni's Room, James Baldwin
7. Mary, Vladimir Nabokov
8. Something Childish But Very Natural, Katherine Mansfield
9. The Kreutzer Sonata, Leo Tolstoy
10. The Virgin And The Gypsy, D.H. Lawrence
11. A Russian Affair, Anton Chekhov
12. Bonjour Tristesse, Francoise Sagan
13. Deviant Love, Siegmund Freud
14. Eros Unbound, Anais Nin
15. Forbidden Fruit, Peter Abelard
16. Magnetism, F. Scott Fitzgerald
17. Of Mistresses, Tigresses, And Other Conquests, Giacomo Casanova
18. The Eaten Heart, Giovanni Boccaccio

I've got my set, and just thought others may be interested to know it's there.

are they any good ?

I mean are they really about Love, Romance , Life-Partner and Man-Woman relationships ?

 

[Peder]

Wow, Stewart! What a bargain! They would definitely be good enough for my money! At a breakeven of 3 books how can one possibly lose? And with authors like that, a no-brainer, as we say.

When I first saw this thread I looked on Amazon [U.S.] and didn't see it sold as a set, so I'm not sure if it is available here as a set, but it surely would be nice.

Agreed.
