A collectible hardcover edition of our greatest African American poet's award-winning first novel about a black boy's coming-of-age in a largely white Kansas town, featuring an introduction by National Book Award finalist Angela Flournoy A Penguin Classic When first published in 1930, Not Without Laughter established Langston Hughes as not only a brilliant poet and leading light of the Harlem Renaissance but also a gifted novelist. In telling the story of Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy in small-town Kansas, and of his family--his mother, Annjee, a housekeeper for a wealthy white family; his irresponsible father, Jimboy, who plays the guitar and travels the country in search of employment; his strong-willed grandmother Hager, who clings to her faith; his Aunt Tempy, who marries a rich man; and his Aunt Harriet, who struggles to make it as a blues singer--Hughes gives the longings and lineaments of black life in the early twentieth century an important place in the history of racially divided America. Penguin Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

100% in love ❤️
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
If you're on the fence about this blanket like I was, I can confidently tell you - Just buy it! This blanket has become my new emotional support blanket. Immediately out of the box I knew this was going to be luxurious. You can Immediately feel the incredible softness and weight, with the visual attention to detail and beautiful coloration. This blanket was definitely well made and worth the price. I can't get enough of the touch and feel of the faux fur, it is beyond soft and tranquil. I sometimes use it in place of my bed comforter because of how amazing it feels on the skin. It is quite hefty, with an estimated weight of 10 pounds with the 60 x 80 size, but I feel as though it adds to the luxurious comfort. I also love how it will keep you warm, but it won't make you sweat. It still has a cooling effect. You will not regret buying this blanket - Treat yourself!

Talk about SOFT!!!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 50"x60"
Definitely a premium product! Softness is a 10/10 very little shedding and the stitching is solid. Medium to heavy weighted throw blanket. Picture is exactly what u get in person. It’s very cool to the touch and again so soft and dense. I lay with it on me watching tv and it’s definitely a sensory thing, I can’t stop touching it. Best blanket I ever had. The material underneath is very soft as well and keeps you warm. I bought the matching pillow case and it’s equally just as good. In my opinion it’s worth the money if u have it to spend. I plan on getting the bigger size blanket on prime day.

GORGEOUS!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
Large and durable faux fur that is heavy and keeps you warm. It is so soft and fluffy. Super good quality and I love the champagne color. The cotton content is perfect and feels extremely soft on the skin. The price is high even though I bought it on sale. The value is worth it and I will buy another one when it goes on sale!

Super soft
Color: Brown Sable, Size: 60"x80"
I bought this last year as a gift for myself. Im such a sucker for blankets and honestly have way too many. I love the heaviness of this blanket. The size of it is great as a throw for the end of my bed or to pull over me if I get cold. It can tend to get a bit hot with being so thick. I love that it doesn't shed all over the place is great quality. This bla ket is super soft and looks amazing where its laying as a throw piece. It does have a bit of weight to it and makes you feel super comfortable laying under it. The scent of it was a bit weird coming straight out of the package, but once opened and had time to air out it was fine. I love this bla ket and would absolutely buy it again!

Luxury Soft Faux CHINCHILLA Fur
Color: Birch Mink, Size: 60"x80"
The softest fur in the world comes from chinchillas, which have fur that is 30 times softer than human hair. Other notably soft furs include those from mink and angora rabbits. So after much consideration, I ordered the FAUX CHINCHILLA fur throw and absolutely love love love it. I actually purchased it as a house warming present for a friend, but somehow ended up receiving two and I kid you not it is the best mistake I ever made next to matrimony. My honest opinion is to ignore all the nonsense gobbledygook reviews and focus on the winners like the one written by Macy. Yes it's heavy and I'll probably have it professionally cleaned when the time comes, but folks I kid you not it is the softest, prettist and most impressive throw I've experienced to date. As others recommended... buy it, wrap it around your body and experience just how incredibly delightful it really is!!!
