Руфь
Юная Руфь не была ни роковой красавицей, ни богачкой. Сирота, лишенная ласки и внимания, слишком наивная для этого мира интриг и обманов. Образец кротости и смирения, скромная и невинная Руфь привлекла богатого мистера Беллингема, подобно экзотической бабочке. Эдакая диковинка в душном обществе надменных аристократов. Но ухаживания и слова любви оказались обманом. Соблазненная и брошенная, Руфь узнает, что ждет ребенка…
Крэнфорд
Классический викторианский роман Элизабет Гаскелл рассказывает о тихой жизни маленького городка со всеми её радостями и незатейливыми приключениями. Первоначально писательница задумала создать пару сатирических очерков, но Чарльз Диккенс уговорил ее написать целый роман, главы из которого публиковались в журнале “Домашнее чтение“. Ироничные и забавные зарисовки из жизни главной героини и ее подруг основаны на воспоминаниях самой Гаскелл. Эту книгу трижды экранизировала телекомпания ВВС, и истории чисто английской провинции, приправленные мягким юмором, имели неизменный успех у публики. © Storysidе
Cranford
Die Damen des fiktiven Kleinstädtchens Cranford leben in vornehmer Bescheidenheit und weigern sich entschieden, die Veränderungen des 19. Jahrhunderts anzunehmen. In ihrem Alltag gibt es aber auch genug Klatsch und Tratsch, Verwirrungen, Liebeleien und überraschende Begegnungen, die ihre volle Aufmerksamkeit erfordern. In kleinen liebevollen Episoden erzählt Elizabeth Gaskell, eine enge Freundin von Charlotte Brontë, vom Landleben im viktorianischen England, von altmodischen Gewohnheiten und von stolzen Frauen, die selbstbewusst die Geschicke ihres Städtchens lenken. – Mit einer kompakten Biographie der Autorin.

Cranford
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘“I'll not listen to reason,” she said, now in full possession of her voice, which had been rather choked with sobbing. «Reason always means what someone else has got to say.»’First published in serial format in a magazine, Gaskell’s Cranford is a delightfully light-hearted series of stories about early Victorian life in a country village.Following the lives of two spinster sisters, Miss Matty and Miss Deborah as they gossip about the inconsequential goings-on of the community around them, Gaskell’s best-loved work affectionately comments on the role of women in society at that time and the changing face of the Victorian world.
Mary Barton
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘We're their slaves as long as we can work; we pile up their fortunes with the sweat of our brows, and yet we are to live as separate as if we were in two worlds…’Set in the industrial unrest of 1840s Manchester, Mary Barton is a factory-worker's daughter living a working-class life in Victorian England. She soon attracts the attentions of the mill-owner's son, Harry Carson, and in the hope that marrying him will improve her prospects and help her to transcend class boundaries, she rejects her former lover Jem Wilson.However, when Harry is shot the main suspect is Jem and Mary finds herself torn between the two men. At the same time, she discovers that her father, John Barton, who has been active in fighting for the rights of his fellow workers is implicated in the murder. Gaskell's exploration of the class division and the oppression of the working-class is demonstrated effectively through the character of Mary, highlighting how lack of communication and mistrust can arise through such vast differences in lifestyle and wealth.
