Publisher's Synopsis

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Vivid . . . engagingly lucid and disarmingly funny' GUARDIAN
'Beautifully done . . . witty and poignant' THE TIMES
'Brilliant' OBSERVER


Welcome to Mike Engleby's world. Deep in the hallowed halls of an esteemed English university, Mike is one of the only working-class boys, amongst the privileged masses. He's also different, starkly so, but able to observe it all. But observation soon tips into obsession when his fixation, fellow student Jennifer, goes missing. What has Mike Engleby overlooked?

A cult classic and an exemplar of the campus novel, Engleby is a beguiling portrait of an outsider, told in an unforgettable voice.

'Remarkable . . . intensely exhilarating' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
'A tour-de-force . . . a great novel' DAILY MAIL
'Compelling, disturbing and significant' SCOTSMAN

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

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.
