When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meager income and assert her independence. But Agnes’s enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr. Weston, the sober young curate. Anne Brontë’s first novel, which draws on her own experiences, offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open to them in Victorian society.

‘… they have robbed me of the hope. My spirit held so dear.’ After experiencing a devastating financial scandal, Agnes Grey arrives at Wellwood House, determined to rebuild her life working as a governess. But her hopes are soon dashed as she faces extreme cruelty from her employers. Can Agnes regain her spirit and restore her faith in others, or is she doomed to face a life of solitude?

“I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.” Discover the Brontë Sisters' famous novels Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, The Professor, Agnes Grey, Shirley and Villette repackaged with beautiful modern covers.

‘I hate talking where there is no exchange of ideas or sentiments, and no good given or received.’ Beautiful and secretive, Helen Graham has recently moved into Wildfell Hall. Her reclusive behaviour quickly makes her the subject of local gossip and conjecture. Gilbert Markham, Helen’s new admirer, soon believes that she cannot be trusted – and delves into her troubled past.

Enn - mladshaja iz trekh sester Bronte, umerla v 29 let, uspev napisat lish dva romana. "Neznakomka iz Uajldfell-Kholla" - samyj smelyj roman svoego vremeni. V nem s neverojatnoj derzostju postavlen vopros o polozhenii zhenschiny v seme. Nuzhno li radi rebenka terpet zhizn s domashnim tiranom? Mozhno li najti sily ujti ot muzhchiny, kotoryj degradiruet ot alkogolizma? I vozmozhno li, nakonets, ispytat vystradannoe schaste? "Agnes Grej" napisana v populjarnom zhanre serediny XIX veka - roman o guvernantke. Istorija, v kotoroj sbyvajutsja mechty, terpenie i dobrodetel voznagrazhdajutsja, vo mnogom avtobiografichna. V otlichie ot svoikh znamenitykh sester, Sharlotty i Emili, Enn Bronte pishet zdravo, realistichno, pokazyvaja storony dejstvitelnosti, o kotorykh v Anglii ee vremeni obychno molchali, - o pjanstve i o tom, na chto sposoben pjanyj chelovek; o razvode i ukhode zheny ot muzha-tirana. Ona sama zarabatyvala sebe na zhizn tjazhelym trudom i so strastju pisala ob ugnetenii zhenschin v obschestve. Ona ne bojalas privodit kritikov v uzhas pravdopodobnymi opisanijami supruzheskikh ssor i razvorachivat na stranitsakh svoikh romanov ochen smelye sjuzhety. Ona stavila pered soboj odnu tsel - "prosto rasskazat pravdu, ved pravda vsegda prepodnosit urok". V ee knigakh ne najti romanticheskogo izobrazhenija geroev, tolko beskompromissnoe opisanie zhizni, dazhe esli ona neprigljadna. Zhizni, iz kotoroj mozhno uvidet vykhod.

Odno iz luchshikh proizvedenij "zolotogo veka" anglijskoj literatury. Mnogokratno ekranizirovannyj shedevr psikhologicheskogo realizma. Roman, kotoryj byl vpervye opublikovan v 1848 godu, - i proizvel v Anglii sensatsiju, poskolku v nem, vpervye v evropejskoj literature, so vsej otkrovennostju i prjamotoj, zadavalsja ochen neudobnyj vopros: dolzhna li zhenschina, stavshaja zhenoj domashnego tirana, pokorno nesti svoj krest "radi sokhranenija semi", vo imja detej? A mozhet, razorvat uzy takogo braka - ne tolko ee pravo, no i dolg imenno kak materi? Vopros, kotoryj, uvy, dlja mnogikh zhenschin vo vsem mire sokhranjaet aktualnost i sejchas.Perevodchik: Gurova Irina Gavrilovna
