A collectible hardcover edition of our greatest African American poet's award-winning first novel about a black boy's coming-of-age in a largely white Kansas town, featuring an introduction by National Book Award finalist Angela Flournoy A Penguin Classic When first published in 1930, Not Without Laughter established Langston Hughes as not only a brilliant poet and leading light of the Harlem Renaissance but also a gifted novelist. In telling the story of Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy in small-town Kansas, and of his family--his mother, Annjee, a housekeeper for a wealthy white family; his irresponsible father, Jimboy, who plays the guitar and travels the country in search of employment; his strong-willed grandmother Hager, who clings to her faith; his Aunt Tempy, who marries a rich man; and his Aunt Harriet, who struggles to make it as a blues singer--Hughes gives the longings and lineaments of black life in the early twentieth century an important place in the history of racially divided America. Penguin Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

I only use these pillows now
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 2
We’ll see if they keep their shape so far they have. They cradle my head well and I don’t wake up with neck pain anymore like I used to with my other pillows. Even my JC Penny feather down pillows lost shape so I switched to these and they are perfect. Extra large is great for me as I tend to roll around when I sleep. Perfect for back and side sleepers like me.

So these pillows are for sure hotel pillows, great filling quality, support(not so much), no odor, they are worth the money, soft but just not the support I was looking for. Nice fluffy, hotel pillows

The best!!!!! Don’t let the price fool you.
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 2
I don’t know how much money I’ve spent over the years trying to find the perfect pillow. I ordered these to use only as decor on my bed with some fancy pillow shams I had ordered and guess what- they’re my very favorite pillows I’ve ever gotten for sleeping. How in the world is that possible? So I switched my expensive pillow to my fancy sham and sleep on this every night. Buy it right now!

Impressive Set of 4 King Pillows – Comfort Meets Quality
Color: Black, Size: King (Pack of 4), Color: Black, Size: King (Pack of 4)
Impressive Set of 4 King Pillows – Comfort Meets Quality I recently upgraded to this 4-pack of king-size pillows (20 x 36 inches), and they’ve been a fantastic addition to the bedroom. Certified by Oeko-Tex, they’re suitable for all sleep positions—whether you’re a side sleeper like me or prefer your back or stomach. The feel strikes a perfect balance between soft and supportive. The microfiber filling cushions your head and neck without going flat, so I wake up without the usual stiffness. They bounce back quickly after use and keep their shape well—just give them a quick fluff when needed, and they’re good to go. They do need about a day to fully expand once unboxed, but that’s expected. The design also deserves a mention. The subtle stripe pattern gives the pillows a clean, upscale look—definitely not your average basic pillow. They’d make a solid gift, too. Cleaning is easy: toss them in the washer on a gentle cycle with cold water, then either air dry or tumble on low. No hassle. If you’re looking for a dependable set of king-size pillows that feel great and look sharp, these are worth it. I also took a picture of it next to a standard pillow so that you could see the difference in the size from King to standard. Hope that helps, overall definitely buy these pillows if you are hesitant there is no need to be, these pillows are perfect in my opinion
