Overview

Plongez dans l'univers enchanteur de Cranford, une charmante petite ville de l'Angleterre victorienne, où l'élégance et le raffinement se mêlent à la chaleur de la communauté. Dans ce roman captivant d'Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, nous découvrons un monde où les traditions sont profondément ancrées et où les personnalités excentriques des habitants apportent une touche de folie et de mystère.

Au c¿ur de l'intrigue se trouve Miss Matty, une femme d'une grande gentillesse et d'une sagesse discrète, qui nous guide à travers les récits touchants et parfois hilarants de la vie quotidienne à Cranford. Entre les querelles et événements sociaux, les personnages attachants et hauts en couleur donnent vie à cette ville.

"Cranford" est bien plus qu'un simple roman, c'est une véritable plongée dans un monde intemporel, empreint de traditions et de valeurs. Au fil des pages, les lecteurs s'embarquent pour un voyage qui explore les thèmes de l'amitié, de l'amour, de la perte et de la résilience de l'esprit humain. Les récits poignants de Gaskell transportent les lecteurs à travers des moments de joie et de tristesse, offrant une riche tapisserie d'émotions qui résonnent profondément dans le c¿ur.

Que vous soyez amateur de littérature classique ou simplement à la recherche d'une histoire captivante, "Cranford" vous propose un délicieux voyage dans un monde où l'amitié, le rire et l'amour triomphent des défis d'une société en pleine mutation. En tournant les pages de ce roman bien-aimé, vous serez sans aucun doute captivé par le charme et la sagesse intemporels de Cranford, qui nous rappellent le pouvoir durable de la communauté et l'esprit indomptable de ses habitants.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Elizabeth Langland’s edition of Cranford is likely to introduce a new generation of readers to the pleasures of Gaskell’s most delightful but least immediately appreciated novel. By including in her appendices of historical materials choice selections from conduct books and writings on political and domestic economy, as well as in her informed, accessible introduction, Langland demonstrates that, appearances aside, the world of Cranford is firmly located in its Victorian context and addresses, however obliquely, some of the most intractable problems of its age—and of ours.” — Eileen Gillooly, Columbia University

Clare Wille’s performance of this gently satirical look at a genteel English village in the first half of the nineteenth century may be the wittiest I’ve ever heard. Like a kinder version of E.F. Benson’s Mapp v. Lucia novels, Gaskell’s ladies of Cranford have their jealousies and their vanities. They also have moments of quiet tragedy (a lost brother, a suitor rejected to please the family but never forgotten) and of high drama. Wille made me laugh aloud at the pompous trumpeting of the late Reverend Jenkins. When Miss Poe comes in out of breath, you could swear Wille was running up stairs while delivering her lines. Her performance is always fully engaged, at one with the story, which is itself a small gem. B.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
