«Norte y Sur» is the classic novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardcover (541 pages, in Spanish).
Elizabeth Gaskell portrays mid-nineteenth-century England through Margaret Hale, a young southerner who settles with her family in an industrial northern town. The contrast with that factory reality, with workers, employers and the manufacturer John Thornton, leads her to rethink her prejudices and mature as a person.
Originally published as «North and South» in 1855, this edition belongs to the Grandes escritoras collection, with a prologue by Ana Becciu and translation by Ángela Pérez.
A read for those seeking classic Victorian-period fiction and a social and industrial portrait of the nineteenth century.
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer. Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Her only biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë, published in 1857, was controversial and significant in establishing the Brontë family's lasting fame. Among Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford (1851–1853), North and South (1854–1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864–1866), all of which have been adapted for television by the BBC.
