North and South
Elizabeth Gaskell is a famous writer of the Victorian era, considered alongside Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Charlotte Brontë, as part of the brilliant constellation of English novelists of the 19th century. Gaskell's works, which tell the complex fates...
of people, about the power of love and spiritual quests, were highly valued by Dickens, who published them in his magazine. Unfortunately, in Russia, the writer's work has not spread as widely as it has around the world. To this day, only two novels from her legacy have been translated into Russian: "Mary Barton" and "Cranford." This edition presents, for the first time in Russian, Elizabeth Gaskell's novel "North and South" — a love story told in the best traditions of Victorian literature.
To this day, admirers of Elizabeth Gaskell's work in Russia have had the opportunity to get acquainted with this novel only through the beautiful BBC adaptation of 2004. The main character, Margaret Hale, a native of Southern England, is forced to move to the northern industrial regions. The impressionable girl is deeply outraged by the horrific conditions in which the workers live; however, her indignation against the factory owner John Thornton inadvertently transforms into tender feelings.
Throughout the novel, the heroes must overcome many prejudices, learn to see the world more broadly and fully, not dividing it into black and white, north and south, and learn kindness and humanity.
