Gyldendal Boghandel - Nordisk forlag 1943 209 + 216 sSider. Halvlæder. Eksemplar med brugsspor. To bøger indbundet i eet bind. Thit Jensen (19. januar 1876 i Farsø - 14. maj 1957 i Bagsværd[) var en dansk forfatter og foredragsholder, der gennem populære romaner og stor personlig gennemslagskraft belyste kvinders stilling i samfundet. Som en af de første danske forfattere forstod hun at iscenesatte sig selv for at trænge igennem med sine budskaber om bl.a. ægteskab, erotik, prævention og abort. At hun overhovedet talte om sådanne tabubelagte emner skabte stor modstand i hendes samtid - men var også med til at flytte holdningen i samfundet.

Wordsworth Classics. 1997. 273p.Sider. Paperback. Nice copy. Charles Dickens Complete Ghost Stories: Interest in supernatural phenomena was high during Charles Dickens lifetime. He had always loved a good ghost story himself, particularly at Christmas time, and was open-minded, willing to accept, and indeed put to the test, the existence of spirits. His natural inclinations toward drama and the macabre made him a brilliant teller of ghost tales, and in the twenty stories presented here, which include his celebrated A Christmas Carol, the full range of his gothic talents can be seen. Chilling as some of these stories are, Dickens has managed to inject characteristically grotesque comedy as he writes of revenge, insanity, pre-cognition and dream visions, he indulges also in some debunking of contemporary credulity.

Wordsworth Classics. 2000. 776p.Sider. Paperback. OK condition. Illustrations by Harlot K. Browne (Phiz). Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens with an introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B. Cook. Following the success of Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby was hailed as a comic triumph and firmly established Dickens as a 'literary gentleman'. It has a full supporting cast of delectable characters that range from the iniquitous Wackford Squeers and his family, to the delightful Mrs Nickleby, taking in the eccentric Crummles and his travelling players, the Mantalinis, the Kenwigs and many more. Combining these with typically Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the novel is eminently suited to dramatic adaptation. So great was the impact as it left Dickens' pen that many pirated versions appeared in print before the original was even finished. Often neglected by critics, Nicholas Nickleby has never ceased to delight readers and is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic masterpieces of nineteenth-centure literature.

Wordsworth Classics. 2002. 794p.Sider. Paperback. OK condition. Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens' last complete novel, gives one of his most comprehensive and penetrating accounts of Victorian society. Its vision of a culture stifled by materialistic values emerges not just through its central narratives, but through its apparently incidental characters and scenes. The chief of its several plots centres on John Harmon who returns to England as his father's heir. He is believed drowned under suspicious circumstances - a situation convenient to his wish for anonymity until he can evaluate Bella Wilfer whom he must marry to secure his inheritance. The story is filled with colourful characters and incidents - the faded aristocrats and parvenus gathered at the Veneering's dinner table, Betty Higden and her terror of the workhouse and the greedy plottings of Silas Wegg.

Wordsworth Classics. 2002. 350p.Sider. Paperback. Nice copy. Introduction and notes by David Blair. The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper It is 1757. Across north-eastern America the armies of Britain and France struggle for ascendancy. Their conflict, however, overlays older struggles between nations of native Americans for possession of the same lands and between the native peoples and white colonisers. Through these layers of conflict Cooper threads a thrilling narrative, in which Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of a British commander on the front line of the colonial war, attempt to join their father. Thwarted by Magua, the sinister 'Indian runner', they find help in the person of Hawkeye, the white woodsman, and his companions, the Mohican Chingachgook and Uncas, his son, the last of his tribe. Cooper's novel is full of vivid incident- pursuits through wild terrain, skirmishes, treachery and brutality- but reflects also on the interaction between the colonists and the native peoples. Through the character of Hawkeye, Cooper raises lasting questions about the practises of the American frontier and the eclipse of the indigenous cultures.

Wordsworth Classics. 2005. 423p.Sider. Paperback. Nice copy. The Deerslayer (1841) is the last-written of Cooper's Leatherstocking tales, but the first in the development of the hero, Natty Bumppo. Here Cooper returns Leatherstocking to his youth and to a pristine wilderness that D. H. Lawrence said was perhaps 'lovelier than any place created in language'. James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was an American novelist who, at the height of his fame, was one of the world's most widely read writers, and could claim to be America's first popular novelist. Although no longer enjoying the same reputation of past times, his novels, 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'The Deerslayer' are fine pieces of work.
