The Stranger of Wildfell Hall
14.99 €
Anne, the youngest of the three Brontë sisters, died at the age of 29, having had time to write only two novels.
"Stranger from Wildfell-Hall" - the most daring novel of its time. In it with incredible audacity put the question of the position of women in the family. Is it necessary for the sake of the child to tolerate life with a domestic tyrant? Is it possible to find the strength to leave a man who degenerates from alcoholism? And is it possible, finally, to experience a long-suffering happiness? "Agnes Grey" is written in a popular genre of the mid-nineteenth century - a novel about a governess. The story, in which dreams come true, patience and virtue are rewarded, is largely autobiographical. Unlike her famous sisters, Charlotte and Emily, Anne Brontë writes sensibly, realistically, showing the sides of reality, which in England of her time usually kept silent - about drinking and what a drunken man is capable of; about divorce and the departure of the wife from the tyrant husband. She made her own living through hard work and wrote passionately about the oppression of women in society. She was not afraid to horrify critics with plausible descriptions of marital quarrels and unfold on the pages of her novels very bold plots. She set herself one goal - "just tell the truth, because the truth always teaches a lesson". In her books you will not find a romantic portrayal of the characters, only an uncompromising description of life, even if it is unsightly. A life from which one can see a way out.
