Brand new and complete set of the attractively designed "Penguin Epics" - 20 short tales of myth, legend and human endeavour and adventure. Penguin Epics relate tales of supreme heroism, ambition, bravery and violence. In doing so they show humnakind's highest aspirations and deepest fears. From the high adventures and exploits of Alexander the Great, through Dante's terrifying description of the Descent into Hell, to the swashbuckling Sindbad and the epic of Gilgamesh, these books trace a journey through the most astonishing and heroic legends of the past 4500 years of literature. Still in cellophane wrapper (cellophane is ripped).
