In his new book, Travels With Penguin, author Mike Bennie follows in the footsteps of the world-famous Penguin Classics library, visiting the authors, translators, and places that have shaped some of the most beloved works of literature.

Bennie's journey takes him from the windswept shores of the Faroe Islands, where he meets the translator of Beowulf, to the bustling streets of Cairo, where he learns about the history of Arabic literature. He visits the home of Jane Austen in Hampshire, England, and the birthplace of Fyodor Dostoevsky in Moscow, Russia.

Along the way, Bennie introduces us to a cast of characters who are as passionate about literature as he is. He meets a group of dedicated volunteers who are working to preserve the works of forgotten authors, and he talks to a bookseller who has made it his mission to bring books to underserved communities.

Travels With Penguin is a love letter to literature and a celebration of the power of books to connect us with the world around us. It is a must-read for anyone who loves to read, and it will inspire you to explore the world through the eyes of your favorite authors.
