Hallihallo,
ich werde am Wochenende mit "North & South" von Elizabeth Gaskell beginnen. Das Buch ist leider noch nie auf deutsch erschienen, aber ich muss es einfach versuchen! Da ich diesen Monat bei einigen Leserunden mitmache, sehe ich "North & South" eher als längeres Projekt an.
Vielleicht hat ja jemand von euch Lust, mitzumachen? Hier habe ich bereits von der Verfilmung geschwärmt. (Wendy? Solas?)
Klappentext
This is one of the earliest novels of industrial alienation, tellingly linked to the plight of 19th-century women. It tells of the relationship between Margaret Hale, a girl from the old rural south, and John Thornton, a mill owner from the new industrial north.
Klappentext der Verfilmung
A powerful adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's feisty and passionate love story, set across the social divides in the changing world of Victorian industrial society. Margaret Hale is one of literature's most original heroines: a southerner from a country vicarage newly settled in the industrial northern town of Milton. In the shock of her move, she misjudges charismatic cotton mill-owner John Thornton, whose strength of purpose and passion are a match for her own pride and wilfulness. When the workers of Milton call a strike, Margaret takes their side, and the two are brought into deeper conflict. As events spiral out of control, Margaret - to her surprise - begins to fall in love with Thornton...
