Ruth
ISBN: 9780199581955 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

It is a remarkable story of love, of the sanctuary and tyranny of the family, and of the consequences of lies and deception, one that lays bare Victorian hypocrisy and sexual double-standards. Shocking to contemporary readers, its radical utopian vision of "a pure woman faithfully presented" predates Hardy's Tess by nearly forty years. This fully revised and corrected new edition is based on the three-volume first edition of 1853, collated with the one-volume 1855 edition. Tim Dolin's...

Die alte Amme und andere Geschichten
ISBN: 9789403663128 / Niemiecki / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Diese Sammlung enthält 11 Kurzgeschichten, von denen einige ziemlich lang sind. Wie so oft bei Kurzgeschichtensammlungen sind einige Geschichten besser als andere. Ich finde jedoch oft, dass Kurzgeschichten, die im 19. oder frühen 20. Jahrhundert geschrieben wurden (nicht sicher, wann diese tatsächlich geschrieben wurden), viel unterhaltsamer sind als moderne Kurzgeschichten. Die Charaktere sind vollständig entwickelt, ihre Vergangenheit und Familienvorgeschichte vollständig erforscht. Wir haben viele ziemlich zweideutige Charaktere, moralische Lektionen, die zu lernen sind. Ich habe...

Mary Barton
ISBN: 9781500210267 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was a well known British novelist at one of the peak eras for female writers in England. A novelist and short story writer at the height of the Victorian Era, Gaskell's novels weave a comprehensive, detailed image of the lives of all kinds of different classes in society during that age, ranging from the very poor to the cream of the aristocratic crop. Of course, given the era in which she wrote, Mrs. Gaskell's writing included a wonderful style of prose that still continues to please literary critics, even while discussing the general themes of the day like...

Gothic Tales
ISBN: 9780140437416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Elizabeth Gaskell's chilling Gothic tales blend the real and the supernatural to eerie, compelling effect. 'Disappearances', inspired by local legends of mysterious vanishings, mixes gossip and fact; 'Lois the Witch', a novella based on an account of the Salem witch hunts, shows how sexual desire and jealousy lead to hysteria; while in 'The Old Nurse's Story' a mysterious child roams the freezing Northumberland moors. Whether darkly surreal, such as 'The Poor Clare', where an evil doppelganger is formed by a woman's bitter curse, or mischievous like 'Curious, if True', a playful reworking of...

Elizabeth Gaskells "Norden und Süden" durchdringt mit meisterhafter Eleganz die sozialen und industriellen Umwälzungen des viktorianischen Englands.
