Beschreibung

Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen. It was published at the end of 1817, six months after her death.

The story concerns Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt. They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife. The wife's brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne in 1806, and now they meet again, both single and unattached, after no contact in more than seven years. This sets the scene for many humorous encounters as well as a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne in her second "bloom".

    'You see that Anna led an arduous and troubled life… Her face was worn, her cheeks were thin, her mouth drawn and firm, and her light blue eyes were very bright. Sometimes they were full of lightning and sometimes full of humour, but they were always sharp and clear.'
    Under the grey, industrial skies of Bridgepoint (modelled on Baltimore), three women – Anna, Melanctha and Lena – live, work and love. Painting a powerful portrait of women trapped in drudgery, Stein's Three Lives is a ground-breaking portrayal of abuse and non-heteronormative sexuality, and is a searing indictment of the struggles of the working class in turn-of-the-century America.
    An astonishing work that toys with style and conventions, Three Lives stands as a monument in Modernism and experimental literature, and comes from the pen of a writer whose intelligence and understanding bleeds from every page.

    "I believe in the spirit of the age; it is a spirit of progress, though its path is often through blood."
    
    Set in Yorkshire during the turbulent years of 1811–1812, Shirley is Charlotte Brontë's most ambitious social novel. Against a backdrop of the Luddite riots and the economic strangulation of the Napoleonic Wars, the story weaves together the lives of two very different women: the shy, repressed Caroline Helstone and the vibrant, independent heiress Shirley Keeldar.
    
    The Clash of Progress and Tradition: At the heart of the crisis is Robert Moore, a mill owner whose determination to modernize his factory puts him at odds with his starving workers. As tensions escalate into violent attacks on the mill, the characters are forced to navigate a world of shifting loyalties, class warfare, and the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution.
    
    A Masterpiece of Shared Experience: While Jane Eyre focused on the individual, Shirley explores the power of community and the "Woman Question." Brontë masterfully portrays the bond between Shirley and Caroline as they challenge the restrictive roles imposed upon them by society. It is a novel of intellectual depth and political passion, blending gritty historical realism with a poignant search for personal fulfillment.
    
    Witness the birth of the modern world through the eyes of two unforgettable women. Purchase "Shirley" today and experience Brontë's most expansive historical drama.
