Winner of the 2012 Fifty Books / Fifty Covers show, organized by Design Observer in association with AIGA and Designers & BooksPraise for Penguin Drop Caps:
"Vibrant, minimalist new typographic covers.... Bonus points for the heartening gender balance of the initial selections."
- Maria Popova, Brain Pickings
"The Penguin Drop Caps series is a great example of the power of design. Why buy these particular classics when there are less expensive, even free editions of Great Expectations ? Because they're beautiful objects. Paul Buckley and Jessica Hische's fresh approach to the literary classics reduces the design down to typography and color. Each cover is foil-stamped with a cleverly illustrated letterform that reveals an element of the story. Jane Austen's A ( Pride and Prejudice ) is formed by opulent peacock feathers and Charlotte Bronte's B ( Jane Eyre ) is surrounded by flames. The complete set forms a rainbow spectrum prettier than anything else on your bookshelf."
- Rex Bonomelli, The New York Times
"Drool-inducing."
- Flavorwire
"Classic reads in stunning covers - your book club will be dying."
- Redbook
Klappentext
From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers-featuring cover art by type superstar Jessica HischeIt all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and gift-worthy hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet by superstar type designer Jessica Hische, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committedand Rules of Civility. A collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series design encompasses foil-stamped paper-over-board cases in a rainbow-hued spectrum across all twenty-six book spines and a decorative stain on all three paper edges. Penguin Drop Caps debuts with an "A" for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a "B" for Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and a "C" for Willa Cather's My Ántonia, and continues with more classics from Penguin.
B is for Brontë. A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre dazzles and shocks readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom. Orphaned Jane Eyre grows up in the home of her heartless aunt, where she endures loneliness and cruelty, and at a charity school with a harsh regime. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spirit-which proves necessary when she takes a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving the man she loves?
Biografie (Charlotte Brontë)
Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855) ist die älteste der drei außergewöhnlichen Schriftsteller-Schwestern. Sie wurde am 21. April 1816 als dritte Tochter eines irischen Methodistenpfarrers im britischen District Yorkshire geboren. Sie hatte vier Schwestern und einen Bruder. Als Charlotte fünf Jahre alt war, starb ihre Mutter. Auch ihre beiden älteren Schwestern starben. Charlotte unterrichtete ihre jüngeren Schwestern Emily und Anne zu Hause und arbeitete zeitweise in zwei anderen Haushalten als Gouvernante. 1847 veröffentlicht Charlotte ihren Roman "Jane Eyre", in dem sie vom Schicksal einer Gouvernante erzählt. Die Bekanntgabe der Identität der "Brüder Bell" beim Londoner Verleger sorgte für einen Skandal. Charlotte schrieb "Shirley", reiste nach London und fand Kontakt zu literarischen Kreisen um William M. Thackeray. 1854 heiratete sie den Hilfspfarrer A.B. Nicholls, für den sie Bewunderung, aber keine Liebe empfand. Im selben Jahr erwartete sie ein Kind und bekam eine schwere Lungenentzündung, von der sie sich nicht mehr erholte: sie hatte ihre jüngeren Schwestern überlebt, starb jedoch in Haworth, drei Wochen vor ihrem 39. Geburtstag.- Tracklisting
