The best new Classics of 2019

Every year, new titles join the Penguin Classics list. In 2019 we welcomed Swedish science fiction, a Polish war novel, a volume of medieval Welsh poems and an anthology of Japanese ghost stories, along with many other titles, including the spectacular Penguin Book of Christmas Stories, a selection of poignant, magical and celebratory Christmas stories from around the world. We asked our classics editors to pick their favourite classics of 2019.
