The lost letters of Jane Eyre and Anna Karenina
by Eugenia Tusquets y Marga Iriarte
Description
The lost letters of Jane Eyre and Anna Karenina mirrors the soul of the protagonists in the homonymous works of Charlotte Brontë and Leon Tolstoy. In this epistolary dialogue, Anna portrays herself escaping from the novel to reveal the secrets of her adulteries and her erratic pursuit of ideal love, while Jane is more agreeable, but never ceases to be critical of the world she lives in. Each line shines with the passionate impressions the two women share about their loves, travels, social and artistic lives... There is, in addition, an ominous murder that Jane will try to solve relying on her wit.
These letters forge a friendship between two friends who will never see each other despite their fervent desire to do so, and reveal what life was like –both in Russian and in English society– at a time of great technical and social transformation. This is an imaginary correspondence that honors the memory of Jane and Anna, representatives of a vanished universe that lives on in modern desires and fears.
The authors, Eugenia Tusquets and Marga Iriarte, have had the wisdom and courage to brilliantly recreate an unconventional epistolary that will fascinate admirers of the two famous novels, Jane Eyre and Anna Karenina. This book plucks every woman labeled eccentric and indecorous from obscurity.
