En la quinta del Señor baron de Tunderten-tronck, título de la Vesfalia, vivia un mancebo que habia dotado de la índole mas apacible naturaleza. Víase en su fisonomía su alma: tenia bastante sano juicio, y alma muy sensible; y por eso creo que le llamaban Candido. Sospechaban los criados antiguos de la casa, que era hijo de la hermana del señor baron, y de un honrado hidalgo, vecino suyo, con quien jamas consintió en casarse la doncella, visto que no podia probar arriba de setenta y un quarteles, porque la injuria de los tiempos habia acabado con el resto de su árbol genealógico. Era el señor baron uno de los caballeros mas poderosos de la Vesfalia; su quinta tenia puerta y ventanas, y en la sala estrado habia una colgadura. Los perros de su casa componian una xauria quando era menester; los mozos de su caballeriza eran sus picadores, y el teniente-cura del lugar su primer capellan: todos le daban señoría, y se echaban á reir quando decia algun chiste.

Praise for Penguin Drop Caps:
"Vibrant, minimalist new typographic covers.... Bonus points for the heartening gender balance of the initial selections."
--Maria Popova, "Brain Pickings"
"The Penguin Drop Caps series is a great example of the power of design. Why buy these particular classics when there are less expensive, even free editions of "Great Expectations"? Because they're beautiful objects. Paul Buckley and Jessica Hische's fresh approach to the literary classics reduces the design down to typography and color. Each cover is foil-stamped with a cleverly illustrated letterform that reveals an element of the story. Jane Austen's A ("Pride and Prejudice") is formed by opulent peacock feathers and Charlotte Bronte's B ("Jane Eyre") is surrounded by flames. The complete set forms a rainbow spectrum prettier than anything else on your bookshelf."
--Rex Bonomelli, "The New York Times"
"Drool-inducing."
--"Flavorwire"
"Classic reads in stunning covers--your book club will be dying."
--"Redbook"
