HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

'Oh Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat.'

Spirited and impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the complete opposite to her controlled and sensible sister, Elinor. When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another.

It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.

Hierdie roman speel af in 'n spoorwegkampgemeenskap in Durban in die sestigerjare. Die verteller is jong Timus, en saam met hom beleef ons sy inisiasie-prosesse in 'n grootmenswereld, en sy waarnemings van die mense en lewe rondom hom. Timus is deel van 'n groot gesin wat dit nie breed het nie en waar die pa se beheptheid met die kerk ontstellende gevolge het. As jongste in die gesin is hy toegespin in sy eie droomwereld en ook agter by sy portuurs oor die soet en duister dinge van die lewe. Hy het 'n sterk verbeelding en sy weergawe van insidente verleen 'n magies-realistiese gevoel aan die gebeure in die roman. Die fyn waarneming van menswees, die patos en humor wat mekaar afwissel, die menslikheid van hierdie roman – by tye brutaal-realisties, maar ook hartverwarmend – sal geen leser onaangeraak laat nie.

A Little History of Literature (Paperback): John Sutherland A Little History of Literature (Paperback)
John Sutherland 1
R350 R320 Discovery Miles 3 200 Save R30 (9%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This 'little history' takes on a very big subject: the glorious span of literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. John Sutherland is perfectly suited to the task. He has researched, taught, and written on virtually every area of literature, and his infectious passion for books and reading has defined his own life. Now he guides young readers and the grown-ups in their lives on an entertaining journey 'through the wardrobe' to a greater awareness of how literature from across the world can transport us and help us to make sense of what it means to be human. Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening his offerings with humor as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, Don Quixote, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf, 1984, and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal selection of authors and works, including literature usually considered well below 'serious attention' - from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes to The Da Vinci Code. With masterful digressions into various themes - censorship, narrative tricks, self-publishing, taste, creativity, and madness - Sutherland demonstrates the full depth and intrigue of reading. For younger readers, he offers a proper introduction to literature, promising to interest as much as instruct. For more experienced readers, he promises just the same.

The timeless classic of growing up and the human dignity that unites us all.

It went on to win the Pulitzer prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award winning film, also a classic.

Now with over 15 million copies in print and translated into ten languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.
