A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Excerpt from East Lynne

The ancient lady spoke up: Captain Levison, Lady Isabel Vane. They both acknowledged the introduction; and Isabel, a child yet in the way of the world, blushed crimson at the admiring looks cast upon her by the young guardsman. Strange - strange that she should make the acquaintance of those two men in the same day, almost in the same hour; the two, of all the human race, who were to exercise so powerful an influence over her future life!

When they adjourned to the ball-room it was to Isabel as an enchanting scene of dreamland, for her heart was in its spring-tide of early freshness, and the satiety of experience had not come.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Ellen Price was born in Worcester in 1814. In 1836 she married Henry Wood, who worked in the banking and shipping trade in Dauphiné in the South of France, where they lived for 20 years. On the failure of Wood's business, the family (including four children) returned to England and settled in Upper Norwood near London, where Ellen Wood turned to writing. This supported the family (Henry Wood died in 1866). She wrote over 30 novels, many of which (especially East Lynne), enjoyed remarkable popularity. Among the best known are Danesbury House, Oswald Cray, Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles, The Channings, Lord Oakburn's Daughters and The Shadow of Ashlydyat. Wood's works were translated into many languages, including Russian. Leo Tolstoy, in a 9 March 1872 letter to his older brother Sergei, noted that he was "reading Mrs. Wood's wonderful novel In the Maze"
