Ah, classic Pelican books. How much you've given us over the decades. Ranging from ancient history to the wonders of science, there's nothing that these books cannot educate a willing reader on. First established in 1937, founder Allen Lane declared the following - "We believed in the existence, in this country, of a vast reading public for intelligent books at a low price, and staked everything on it" - and we couldn't be more grateful.
To celebrate the endless supply of knowledge that Pelican has offered the world throughout the years, we've compiled this list of some of some of the most intriguing and varying vintage Pelican books you can get your hands on. Enjoy, and revel in the power of the Pelican!
This four-book collection is a great start for anyone wanting to build up their vintage history book collection. Learn all about English and Soviet history, as well as the Old World, with these informative reads!
If more recent history isn't necessarily your thing, this classic Pelican history book on the Ancient World might be for you instead! An interesting and fascinating read covering the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Still not satisfied? Okay, let's go way back. All the way back to the first days of the earth, in fact. This guide to the history of earth covers everything from the beginning of days, and if that doesn't satisfy your inner history buff... nothing will!
Fancy an intellectual read? As long as slipping into the occasional existential crisis isn't something you're prone to, this book might hit the spot. The Problem of Knowledge contains a series of philosophical problems sure to keep even the smartest minds puzzled for the foreseeable future.
