Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves--and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives--and destroyed them.

Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.

The Stoic writings of the philosopher Seneca, who lived from c. 5 BC to AD 65, offer powerful insights into the art of living, the importance of reason and morality, and continue to provide profound guidance to many through their eloquence, lucidity and timeless wisdom. This selection of Seneca's orks was taken from the Penguin Classics edition of Dialogues and Letters, translated by C.D.N. Costa, and includes the essays On the Shortness of Life, Consolation to Helvia, and On Tranquility of Mind.

Beautiful, well made puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
I am a big jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. It's the norm for there to be a 1000 piece puzzle on my dining room table at any given moment. This is my first experience with a wooden puzzle and I have to say I think I am hooked. This is a small, 200 piece puzzle, but it was so much fun! What I loved - *Let's just start with how pretty and vibrant this puzzle is! The colors are bright and it's print is sharp. *The pieces are beautifully laser cut and finished. No rough edges or burrs. *There are several specialty pieces, most are soccer related. What a great touch! *The pieces fit beautifully. *It comes with a pull string bag for storage and the items necessary to preserve and hang once completed. I am a fan and plan to order more of these fun puzzles!

FIFA World Cup mascots t shirt - very cute!
The t shirt is very nice. I was looking for 2xl but because they didn't have I purchased 3xl. Not a huge difference between the sizes and a wash will probably solve the problem. My husband liked it!

T shirt is great quality!
Great T shirt! The quality of the material is quite nice. It’s more than I’d normally pay for a T shirt. However, for a “special “ event T, much less than you’d pay at the event! I bought another after seeing the first one. Father and son, 2026 soccer revolution, off and away :)

Cute Basic Tank That’s Easy to Dress Up or Down
Color: Taupe, Size: Small
This ANRABESS sleeveless tank top is a really cute basic to have in the closet. I bought it in 3 colors. I like the fitted ribbed style because it gives it a little more shape than a plain tank, but it’s still simple enough to wear with just about anything. The scoop neck is flattering without being too low, and the slim fit makes it easy to tuck into jeans, shorts, or wear under a jacket/cardigan. It’s one of those tops that works for everyday outfits but can also be dressed up a little with jewelry or nicer pants. The material feels comfortable and stretchy, and it has that casual summer look without feeling sloppy. I’d say it’s great for warm weather, layering, or just throwing on when you want something easy but still put-together. Cute, flattering, and comfortable — a great basic tank that I can see myself wearing a lot.
