О чем книга «North and South»
This is the «Penguin English Library» edition of «North and South» by Elizabeth Gaskell. ‘How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?’ Elizabeth Gaskell’s compassionate, richly dramatic novel features one of the most original and fully-rounded female characters in Victorian fiction, Margaret Hale. It shows how, forced to move from the country to an industrial northern town, she develops a passionate sense of social justice, and a turbulent relationship with mill-owner John Thornton. «North and South» depicts a young woman discovering herself, in a nuanced portrayal of what divides people, and what brings them together. «The Penguin English Library» — 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
