Shirley – ebook
Charlotte Brontë
”Shirley”, the second published novel by Charlotte Bronte, was released in 1849 amongst high anticipations by readers and critics after super success of „Jane Eyre”. Probably, it is the most „suspenseful” novel by Charlotte Bronte. The novel delicately combines classic Gothic motives – motives, relatively speaking, are classically the „detective”. However, under the brilliant pen of Bronte, enthralling...Data dostępności:

Wells uses the changing relationships among childhood friends as the media for his thoughts on human relations on personal and global scales, and of what it all means. On the death of his father, Stephen...Data dostępności:

Wells was so charmed by Margaret Sanger that he based „The Secret Places of the Heart” on his time with her. The novel is a thinly-veiled...Data dostępności:
