The Stranger of Wildfell Hall
14.99 €
Anne, the youngest of the three Brontë sisters, died at 29, having written only two novels.
This edition contains two novels.
"The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" is the most daring novel of its time. It poses with incredible audacity the question of a woman's position in the family. Should one endure life with a domestic tyrant for the sake of one's child? Can one find the strength to leave a man degraded by alcoholism? And is it possible to finally experience hard-won happiness?
"Agnes Grey" is written in the popular genre of the mid-19th century—the governess novel. This story, in which dreams come true, patience, and virtue are rewarded, is largely autobiographical.
Unlike her famous sisters, Charlotte and Emily, Anne Brontë writes with a sober, realistic spirit, revealing aspects of reality that were generally ignored in the England of her time—drinking and the deeds of a drunk; about a divorce and a wife's departure from a tyrant husband.
She earned her living through hard work and wrote passionately about the oppression of women in society. She wasn't afraid to horrify critics with realistic descriptions of marital quarrels and to unfold daring plots on the pages of her novels. She set herself one goal: "to simply tell the truth, because the truth always teaches a lesson."
Her books don't offer romantic portrayals of heroes, only an uncompromising description of life, even when it's ugly. A life from which you can see a way out.
A new series of classics for fans of "Magistral. The Main Trend" in hardcover. Impeccable style, conciseness, tactile materials, colored endpapers, and a drawing on the edge.
