An unwanted child—conceived in circumstances her mother would rather forget—Dorothea Henrietta Rose grows up solitary and neglected with her dissatisfied mother and unpleasant great-aunt Norris. Raised without the knowledge that her mother is her mother or that their occasional visitor, Sir Thomas Bertram, is her grandfather, she is forbidden ever to set foot in Mansfield Park. She meets the Crawfords—Henry and Mary (now Lady Drumroth)—and inevitably does the one thing she must not do: unwillingly make herself known to the inhabitants of Mansfield Park.

Una de las reglas sociales más conocidas dice que una joven de buena familia nunca debería acudir a casa de un marqués de mala reputación y pedirle un beso apasionado. Sin embargo, para conquistar a este granuja, lady Calpurnia Hartwell deberá romper todas las reglas…. NUEVE REGLAS QUE...

Keeping a hibernating dragon should have been a simple thing. Should have been, but it was not. Apparently, nothing involving dragons was ever simple, at least not for Anne Elliot, junior keeper to dragon Kellynch. With the estate in debt, Anne’s father in denial, and the dragon’s treasure missing, Kellynch’s awakening is shaping up to be nothing short of catastrophe. Not to mention, there was the pesky matter of her own broken heart and resentment against the old friend who had caused it.

Lady Catherine de Bourgh is very generous when it comes to medical care for her sickly daughter, Anne - generous enough to lure noted physician Dr. Thomas Bennet to give up his London practice and move his family to Rosings Park. But his good income comes with a price: complete dependence on his demanding patroness’s every whim. Now the Bennet family is trapped, reliant on Lady Catherine for their survival. Now she has chosen a husband for headstrong Elizabeth Bennet - Mr. George Wickham. But the Lady’s nephew, Fitzwilliam Darcy, is not so sure about his aunt’s choice.

Dull, plain, and practical, Mary Bennet was the girl men always overlooked. Nobody thought she’d garner a second glance, much less a husband. But she did, and now, she’s grateful to be engaged to Mr. Michaels, the steady, even-tempered steward of Rosings Park. By all appearances, they are made for each other, serious, hard-working, and boring.

Hers was the plight of a gothic heroine, banished from her home by a cruel brother and his heartless wife, the Dragon Sage. Misunderstood and maligned, Georgiana’s only hope of rescue were letters to aunts describing the medieval dungeon to which she had been sent.

Elizabeth Bennet's father, Admiral Thomas Bennet, assures his daughters his retirement from His Majesty's Navy will be the start of a new life for them all. Little does he know his family's battles have only just begun.

Considerado um dos primeiros romances brasileiros a ser escrito por uma mulher, a narrativa conta a história do jovem bacharel Tancredo e a simples moça Úrsula, um casal que se apaixona rapidamente mas precisa enfrentar a sociedade para ficar junto. Em meio a essa luta por um amor impossível, Maria Firmina contextualiza e critica o cenário sócio-histórico do século XIX, bem como o sistema escravocrata brasileiro, denunciando as injustiças de minorias, sobretudo aquelas direcionadas à população negra do Brasil.

After the debacle of the previous holiday season, Darcy and Elizabeth joyfully anticipate Christmastide 1813, Georgiana’s come out at Pemberley’s Twelfth Night Ball culminating the season. With months of planning behind the event, even Lady Matlock is satisfied and sends Colonel Fitzwilliam to represent the family, assuring there will be no repeat of the previous Christmastide.

Colonel Fitzwilliam should have been happy facing retirement. No more Napoleon, no more tromping the Continent, and his distant cousin had unexpectedly left him an estate. What was more, two of his favorite people, Darcy and Elizabeth, were travelling with him to visit his new home. But the colonel wasn’t happy, not when he was forced to watch Darcy exchanging enamored glances with his wife. No, he wanted to pitch his cousin out the window. It didn’t help when Darcy kept lecturing him on the joys of wedded life - as if women like Elizabeth Darcy grew on every tree.

Mary goes to the library looking for escape, not love. With three daughters married in a single year, one would think that Mrs. Bennet’s matchmaking ploys would diminish. One would be wrong. Very wrong. To avoid her mother’s affectionate arts, Mary takes refuge at Clarke’s library. There, in the reading room, she can forget the trials of Longbourn, lost in the pages of her favorite books. The strategy works - surprisingly well in fact - until the morning a tall, handsome stranger wants the same book she has already checked out - a text she needs to help a friend.

"Lady V. ha resuelto ser una mujer sofisticada, sin ataduras, desdeñosa de los compromisos. No le importan, incluso, las maledicencias y las murmuraciones que se hacen sobre su nombre. La libertad en su vida cotidiana, la liberalidad en el amor, la espontaneidad de sus decisiones la guían...
