This represents one man's search for an ancient myth in a country of the past. For four months and 500 miles Colin Thubron walked through the mountains of Lebanon, tracing the gods who held the secrets of death and rebirth in the courtry`s ancient cults. What he found was a coastline of small, historic ports, some of the most impressive Phoenician, Greek and Roman sculpture in the world, superb natural scenery and people who formed a medley of races and religions.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
