Al anderhalve eeuw fascineert Jane Eyre lezers en literatuurkenners vragen zich nog steeds af waarom dit werk zo populair is. Zoals bij boeken die levendig blijven, bevat het verhaal meer dan alleen onverwachte wendingen van romantische episodes en dramatische elementen van de gotische roman. De tijd heeft de striktheid van het Victoriaanse tijdperk weggevaagd en de schandelijke gedragingen en opvattingen van de ongebonden heldin getemperd, over wie de schrijfster opmerkte: “Verwarren we conventie niet met moraal!” Het geheim van grote en breed gewaardeerde literatuur is moeilijk te definiëren, maar iets wordt ons wel onthuld door generaties enthousiaste lezers. We beseffen dat we een verzonnen verhaal lezen, terwijl de stem van de vertelster opmerkelijk echt klinkt, de emoties oprecht zijn en de gebeurtenissen explosief. Daarom is de strijd van de onverzettelijke en moedige heldin tegen haar onmenselijke voogd, de wrede omstandigheden in het internaat en de strikte sociale orde zo krachtig. Het onthult de persoonlijke ervaring van de schrijfster, de beleving van een gepest meisje na het verlies van haar ouders. En laten we de schrijfster niet kwalijk nemen dat in haar grote epische verhaal de liefde wrede tegenslagen, de ongunstige omstandigheden en de last van een vreselijk geheim overwint.

"Dit is het verhalen van het vijfjarig verblijf van mijn familie en mij op het Griekse eiland Korfoe" is de zin waarmee Gerald Durrell dit kostelijke boek opent. Met humor en genegenheid beschrijft hij de handel en wandel van zijn op een plezierige manier knotse familieleden, zijn vrienden onder de eilandbewoners en, bovenal, de dieren die hij er ontdekt, observeert én verzamelt. Op een levendige en hartveroverende manier vertelt hij over de boeiende flora en fauna, afgewisseld met de doldwaze belevenissen in een familie waar alles kan en niets te gek is. Gerald Durrell (1925) - hield als jongen al een grote collectie "huisdieren". Hij studeerde biologie, leidden expedities waarbij exotische en zeldzame dieren werden verzameld en stichtte de "Jersey WIldlife Preservation Trust". Toen zijn gezondheid aangetast was door malaria ging hij over dieren schrijven: boeken, scripts voor de radio en voor films.

Although Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) created a wide range of poetry, essays, and fairy tales (and one novel) in his brief, tragic life, he is perhaps best known as a dramatist. His witty, clever drama, populated by brilliant talkers skilled in the art of riposte and paradox, are still staples of the theatrical repertoire. An Ideal Husband revolves around a blackmail scheme that forces a married couple to reexamine their moral standards — providing, along the way, a wry commentary on the rarity of politicians who can claim to be ethically pure. A supporting cast of young lovers, society matrons, an overbearing father, and a formidable femme fatale continually exchange sparkling repartee, keeping the play moving at a lively pace. ike most of Wilde's plays, this scintillating drawing-room comedy is wise, well-constructed, and deeply satisfying. An instant success at its 1895 debut, the play continues to delight audiences over one hundred years later. An Ideal Husband is a must-read for Wilde fans, students of English literature, and anyone delighted by wit, urbanity, and timeless sophistication.
