Год издания: 0000
I signed the letter with a flourish. I wouldn’t send it. There was no need. But I wanted to keep it somewhere safe, somewhere I could find it if I ever needed to remember why I’d done what I’d done. The fight goes on, I told myself. The fight goes on…London, 1910. Twenty-one-year-old Esther Watkins would do anything for the Suffragette cause. Imprisoned, force-fed and beaten, she is determined to fight for what she believes is right – no matter what it costs her. With new love Joseph by her side, will she get the better future she dreams of? Kent, 2019. With her marriage in tatters, school teacher Lizzie Armstrong moves to sleepy Elm Heath for a fresh start, and her pupils and the community soon steal her heart. So when the school is threatened with closure Lizzie knows she has to fight, and she looks to the school’s founder for inspiration. What makes Esther, born and bred in London, a proud Suffragette, suddenly leave the city and escape to Elm Heath? And when Lizzie uncovers Esther’s heartbreaking secret, could it give her the strength she needs to save not just the school, but her new beginning too? A heart-wrenching and uplifting novel for fans of Emily Gunnis, Kathleen McGurl and Kathryn Hughes.

Этот диск – для тех, кто любит Италию и хотел бы узнать больше о ее литературе, истории и культуре. При составлении антологии предпочтение отдавалось произведениям, вошедшим в сокровищницу не только итальянской, но и всемирной литературы. Практически все тексты в ней хрестоматийны. Данте Алигьери, Петрарка, Боккаччо, Тассо, Гольдони, Мандзони, Леопарди не нуждаются в особом представлении. Имена многих литературных героев давно уже стали нарицательными, а их высказывания – крылатыми выражениями. Составители надеются, что, познакомившись с багажом среднестатистического итальянца, слушатель не остановится на достигнутом и пожелает углубить свои познания в итальянской литературе.
