My Giveaway - International

The Ladies

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot.......tells the story of Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom as they grow from children to young adults in a small English rural town.
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell........leaving a rural idyll in the south of England, Margaret Hale is initially shocked by the social unrest and poverty she finds in the north.
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte.........when the mysterious and beautiful Helen Graham becomes the new tenant of Wildfell Hall rumours immediately begin to swirl around her.
The Gentlemen
No Name by Wilkie Collins.........after the tragic deaths of their parents, Magdalen and Norah discover the devastating news that they are both illegitimate and not entitled to any inheritance.
Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens........John Harmon returns to England after years of exile to claim his inheritance: a great fortune and a beautiful young woman to whom he is betrothed, but has never met.
The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope.........when the Melmottes arrive in London everyone agrees their manners are wanting, their taste is excreable and their lineage and background decidedly shady. But their money is far from revolting!

ReplyDeleteShakespeare - Marin Sorescu
Shakespeare created the world in seven days.
On the first say he made the heavens, the mountains,
and the abyss of the soul.
On the second day he made rivers, seas, oceans
And all the other feelings—
Giving them to Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Mark Antony,
Cleopatra and Ophelia,
Othello and the rest, to master them, and their descendants
For evermore.
On the third day he brought the people together
And taught them about taste
The taste of happiness, of love, of despair
The taste of jealousy, of glory, and still more tastes
Until they went through them all.
Then some latecomers arrived.
The creator patted them sadly on the head
Explaining the remaining roles were for
Literary critics
To challenge his good works.
The fourth and fifth days he kept clear for laughs
Clearing way for clowns
Turning somersaults,
And leaving the kings, emperors,
And other poor wretches to their fun.
The sixth day he reserved for administrative tasks:
He let loose a tempest
And taught King Lear
To wear a crown of straw.
Some spare parts remained from the world’s creation
And so he made Richard III.
On the seventh day he looked about for something to do.
Theatre directors had plastered the land with posters
And Shakespeare decided after all his hard work
He deserved to see a show. but first,
tired down to the bone
He went off to die a little.
Oh my God, I'm so happy! I'm trying to read all the classics I can. I love them recently! My choice would be The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte or The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot. It's hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteMy email is fetachan@gmail.com
Thank you so much!
Oooh, I love Vintage Classics editions! I genuinely can't decide between North and Sounth and No Name. Either would be wonderful, and it's always nice to have an element of surprise! Thanks so much for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Antony Trollope book - I think the same principle applies now!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win The Tenant of Wildfell Hall please. I read Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte last year and liked it, but I've heard Tenant is even better!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the Vintage covers - I collect them :)

Oh, my gosh - amazing choices! I'm participating in the Victorian Celebration too (and I'm hosting a giveaway challenge for participants next week.. shhh!)
ReplyDeleteI read Gaskell's Cranford recently, as part of the celebration, and really enjoyed it. I also read Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte and enjoyed that, too. So difficult. BUT I did make a commitment to read all the Bronte sisters' works, and I haven't yet read (nor do I own) Tenant of Wildfell Hall... so I'd like to win that!
Thanks so much for the chance.
