Produktbeschreibung

The most romantic literary lovers in history: Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Oliver Mellors and Constance Chatterley. Marie Shabata and Emil Bergson. Now, all three of their classic stories are collected in one volume: The Classic Romance Collection - Volume I featuring Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and Willa Cather's "O Pioneers!"

First, the story of young, orphaned Jane Eyre who is turned away from her family and must make her own way in the world. When she is hired on as a governess for a rich landowner, she becomes attracted to the brooding and mysterious master of the manor who harbors a dark and terrible secret. Truly one of the great romance novels of all time.

Next, D.H. Lawrence's controversial and sensational novel of infidelity and sexual awakening, "Lady Chatterley's Lover." Banned in multiple countries for its shocking and frank language, this is the story of Lady Constance Chatterley whose husband is confined to a wheelchair. When she takes on her husband's groundskeeper Mellors as a lover, her entire world is upended as both class and societal barriers collapse around her.

Finally, Willa Cather's breakout drama of love on the prairie, "O Pioneers!" At the center of this novel of life on the great plains is the romance of Marie Shabata, trapped in an unhappy marriage, and her would-be lover Emil who attempts to flee his attraction to her but is continually drawn back, unable to resist the pull of their forbidden passion.

Three classic novels of love, drama and romance collected together for the first time, these books are presented in their original and unabridged format.

Autorenporträt

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet and the eldest of a trio of legendary writers who became known as "the Brontë sisters." Each of the three sisters managed to create novels that would become classics of English literature: Charlotte's "Jane Eyre," Emily's "Wuthering Heights" and Anne's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall." The oldest of six children born to clergyman Patrick Brontë and his wife Maria, Charlotte attended the Clergy Daughter's School, which was so poorly run and unsanitary that Charlotte would later blame their attendance at this school for the deaths of two of her sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, both of whom died of tuberculosis. The four surviving siblings, Branwell, Emily, Anne and Charlotte, created an imaginary world called "Glass Town," and would each contribute poems, stories and geographical details of this mythical place to help them escape the difficulties of their childhood and would plant the seeds for their later literary success. At the time, the idea of publishing a female author was frowned upon, thus Charlotte and her sisters created a pseudonymous trio of brothers - Currer (Charlotte), Ellis (Emily) and Acton (Anne) Bell - in order to get their books into print. Charlotte's first book, "The Professor" was not accepted by a publisher, but her second book, "Jane Eyre," was an immediate success. Charlotte's sisters each published their own books but their enjoyment of their literary success was short-lived. The family suffered the deaths of Branwell, Emily and Anne in just a few short months in late 1848/early 1949 (the latter two of tuberculosis) and Charlotte herself, while struggling through her first, difficult pregnancy, died in 1854 at the age of thirty-eight. Few families in history have produced as many literary powerhouses as the Brontë sisters and their works have been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen.
