En un molino-restaurante a orillas del Necker, en Alemania, el retrato de una mujer de tez y expresión enigmáticas llama la atención de un grupo de viajeros. El dueño del molino les enseña un documento que cuenta la historia de esta mujer, que la narradora se apresta a traducir. La bella hija de un molinero de Heidelberg pasa una temporada en Carlsruhe, invitada por una antigua amiga del colegio. Allí, por mediación de la pretenciosa -aunque pobre- madre de su amiga, es pretendida por un noble francés, monsieur de la Tourelle, y, con la aprobación de todos, se casa con él. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell nee Stevenson (1810-1865), often referred to simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was an English novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era. She is perhaps best known for her biography of Charlotte Bronte. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature. She married William Gaskell, the minister at Cross Street Unitarian Chapel in Manchester. They settled in Manchester, where the industrial surroundings would offer inspiration for her novels. Her first novel, Mary Barton: A Tale of Manchester Life, was published anonymously in 1848. The best known of her remaining novels are Cranford (1853), North and South (1855), and Wives and Daughters (1866). She became popular for her writing, especially her ghost story writing, aided by her friend Charles Dickens, who published her work in his magazine Household Words. Her other works include The Grey Woman (1865), Lois the Witch and The Old Nurses Story and Other Tales. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
