Susan Kingsley Libri

Dopo le notissime avventure del detective Sherlock Holmes è questa l’opera più famosa di Arthur Conan Doyle. Le diverse trasposizioni cinematografiche che ne sono state fatte — a partire dalla prima del 1925 — hanno reso questo libro estremamente popolare e hanno dato vita a una serie di derivazioni e filiazioni, tanto che Il mondo perduto è diventato uno dei cliché della narrativa fantastica. Completano questo classico delle approfondite note esplicative relative alle varie specie di dinosauri che popolano la fantastica località rimasta separata dal resto del mondo.

Inventore del romanzo sociale, Dickens vi ha fuso e sviluppato le due tradizioni della narrativa inglese: la tradizione picaresca di Defoe e Fielding e quella sentimentale. Tempi difficili è il romanzo in cui più compiutamente si esprime la sua avversione all'ideologia utilitaristica, inevitabile conseguenza del processo di industrializzazione che caratterizza l'Inghilterra di quegli anni. Ma più che indagare le cause, Dickens rappresenta gli effetti sociali che lo sfruttamento produce, cioè la falsificazione dei rapporti umani. Il proletariato, per elevarsi alla condizione della borghesia, ne assume le caratteristiche di ipocrisia e di durezza.

Rue, lady Gruadh, je poslední ženou v dynastii rodu skotských králů. Po smrti manžela, mocného pána ze severu, je nucena, stále ještě nosíc jeho dítě, provdat se za jeho vraha, bojovného Macbetha. Po jeho vítězstvích nad Vikingy, Sasy a zrádnými skotskými pány začíná Rue svého muže, jehož tak opovrhovala, pomalu respektovat. A v té chvíli si uvědomuje, že pouze Macbeth, se svými nekonečnými ambicemi, je schopen přesáhnout hranice rozlehlého skotského severu. Je jediným mezi skotskými pány hrajícími své válečné hry, kdož může sjednotit Skotsko - a její královská krev je klíčem k úspěchu. Slavná autorka historicko-romantických příběhů obdivuhodně rozplétá ze železa ukuté mýty severu. Zapomeňte na školní příběh o proradné ženě, před vámi leží živý portrét odvážné, pravé skotské královny.

Ein Kind, das zur Sonnenwende gezeugt wird, verheißt der kleinen Insel Caransay Wohlstand und Zufriedenheit - eine schottische Legende, an die Lady Margaret nicht glaubt. Aber dann begegnet sie in jener Nacht einem Fremden und genießt mit ihm wie im Rausch den uralten Zauber der Liebe ... Ein Sommersturm braust über die Insel Caransay hinweg, als die schöne Lady Margaret MacNeill auf Geheiß ihrer Großmutter zu den schwarzen Klippen geht. Einer schottischen Sage nach soll in dieser Nacht eine Sterbliche mit einem Sea Kelpie, einem geheimnisvollen Meerwesen, ein Kind zeugen. Abergläubischer Unfug, denkt Margaret. Doch kaum betritt sie die Klippe, liegt dort ein bewusstloser Mann. Während sie sich über ihn beugt, schlägt er seine seegrünen Augen auf, und einen atemberaubenden Moment lang erkennt Margaret darin ihr Schicksal, sieht das Kind, das neun Monate später geboren wird. Voller Leidenschaft gibt sie sich dem Fremden hin, in der irrigen Annahme, ihn nach dieser stürmischen Liebesbegegnung nie wiederzusehen..
