Penguin Books Unputdownable

Penguin Books in Malaysia recently commissioned a print advertising campaign emphasizing the “unputdownable” nature of classic literature. The hands of readers are transformed into classic novels, “The Railway Children” by Edith Nesbit, John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, and “Hound of the Baskervilles” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Die klassiekers zijn “unputdownable” – wat ik maar even vertaal als ”nietneerlegbaar.” Via The Inspiration Room. [...]
