This year, Penguin Books and the prestigious Great Books Foundation, a pioneer in the promotion of lifelong learning through reading and discussion, launch a major new collaboration: Discussion Guides for Penguin Books from the Great Books Foundation.

The Great Books Foundation will select two titles each month — one from the Penguin Classics series and one from Penguin's list of contemporary literature. Each book will bear the Great Books seal. Discussion guides to these books are now available online. Written by the Great Books Foundation and produced by Penguin, these guides are a joint endeavor to facilitate lively conversation about books of lasting value.
