Sinossi

A Remarkable Novel of Strength, Romance, and Revolution—From the Beloved Author of Jane Eyre!

In a time of upheaval, where industry and tradition collide, two extraordinary women defy societal norms in their quest for love, purpose, and independence. Shirley is Charlotte Brontë's sweeping novel that masterfully blends romance, social commentary, and feminist ideals in an unforgettable 19th-century setting.

At the heart of the story is Caroline Helstone, a young woman stifled by the constraints of her time, and Shirley Keeldar, a wealthy, unconventional heiress determined to control her own fate. Against the backdrop of England's industrial unrest, their lives intertwine with two compelling men—one burdened by ambition and the other by unspoken love. As passion and politics clash, the novel explores themes of resilience, friendship, and the fight for autonomy.

David is born in Blunderstone, Suffolk, England, six months after his father's death. He spends his early years living in a small house called the Rookery.

    When David is seven years old, his mother marries Edward Murdstone without informing him about their plans. To keep him out of the way, David is sent to visit Peggotty's family in Yarmouth. Her brother, Mr. Peggotty, is a fisherman who lives in a beached barge with his adopted niece and nephew, Emily and Ham, as well as an elderly widow named Mrs. Gummidge. "Little Em'ly," as she is affectionately called, is somewhat spoiled by her caring foster father, and David has fallen in love with her. Throughout this time, they refer to him as Master Copperfield.

    Robert Musil (1880-1942) is best known for his enduring masterpiece The Man Without Qualities, one of the great European works of the 20th century. It was with The Confusions of Young Master Törless first published in 1906, a challenging but very different work, that he signalled his extraordinary talent. As the nineteenth century draws to an end, young Torless is sent to a military boarding school for the sons of the nobility on the eastern outreaches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Far from his comfortable, free-thinking bourgeois home and left to his own devices, he experiences the joy, pain and self-doubt of adolescence. He is confronted with desire and love, but also his own cruelty, as he finds himself participating in his fellow pupils' bullying campaigns. A dark Bildungsroman which shocked its readership at the time, Robert Musil's first novel is a fresco of psychoanalysis, philosophy, eroticism, snobbery, sado-masochism and schoolboy humour, a hothouse of alternately repressed and unchained desires that prefigure the carnage of both World Wars.
