Autor Jean Rhys Introducere de Andrea Ashworthen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2000
'Rhys took one of the works of genius of the 19th Century and turned it inside-out to create one of the works of genius of the 20th Century' Michele Roberts
Jean Rhys's masterpiece tells the story ofJane Eyre's'madwoman in the attic', Bertha Rochester.
Born into the oppressive, colonialist society of 1930s Jamaica, white Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway meets a young Englishman who is drawn to her innocent beauty and sensuality. After their marriage, however, disturbing rumours begin to circulate which poison her husband against her. Caught between his demands and her own precarious sense of belonging, Antoinette is inexorably driven towards madness, and her husband into the arms of another novel's heroine. This classic study of betrayal, a seminal work of postcolonial literature, is Jean Rhys's brief, beautiful masterpiece.

the
19th
Century
and
turned
it
inside-out

Rhys's iconic prequel to Charlotte Brontë'sJane Eyreis rich in motifs and devices both modernist and postmodernist
Beautiful and subversive [...] the novel didn't just take inspiration from Charlotte Brontë'sJane Eyre, it illuminated and confronted it, challenged the narrative.
Wide Sargasso Seais not just a great novel, it is many brilliant books in one
