Evelina, or The Story of a Young Lady's Entrance into Society

"Evelina" – a novel in letters, first published anonymously in 1778 and immediately becoming popular among readers. It is a true guide to 18th century London and at the same time a sharp social satire, full of vivid scenes from the life of high society.
At the center of the plot is the story of the coming-of-age of a sincere and good-natured girl Evelina Anville, a ward of a rural clergyman, who had to face the morals of a hypocritical society. Will Evelina, torn between the desire for love and the fear of public condemnation, be able to remain true to herself in the face of constant temptations and trials?
