NEW PENGUINS
HE visual arts, drama and poetry, psychology and--almost a subject by itself-problems of adolescence are represented among new Penguin and Pelican Books. A Dictionary. of Art and Artists, by Peter and Linda Murray (English price 5/-), covers the work of more than 700 painters, sculptors and engravers, the main movements, ideas and styles, and technical terms and processes. Poets in a Landscape, by Gilbert Highet (English price 6/-), recalls some of the greatest Roman poets by "describing the places where they lived, recreating their characters and evoking the essence of their work.’ There are 48 fine illustrations. The Misanthrope and Other Plays, by Moliére (English price 3/6), is a new translation by John Wood of five Moliére plays; with five already published in Penguin Classics, they include most of the works which retain their interest and significance. The Psychology of Thinking, by Robert Thomson (English price 3/6), is both a comprehensive account of the most recent work in the psychology of thinking and an attempt to evaluate its achievements and limitations. Adolescence to Maturity, by VY. C. Chamberlain (English price 2/6), is intended for the older ‘adolescent and the younger man and woman. It covers "the meaning of maturity," work and leisure, sex, love and marriage, attitudes to life, and hints on "the art of living."
