Will Sophie finally find that sense of security she's always dreamed of?

In this exuberant retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Lydia Bennet puts pen to paper to relate the real events and aftermath of the classic story.

But Lydia also suffers from entirely different concerns: her best-loved sister Kitty is really a barn cat; Wickham is every bit as wicked as the world believes him to be, but what else would one expect from a demon?

Майстер корабля — письменницький дебют Юрія Яновського. Це модерністський роман, стилізований під мемуари, який передає атмосферу 20-х років двадцятого століття. Він має ознаки пригодницького, автобіографічного і водночас утопічного та мариністичного фантастичного романів. Текст побудовано як спогад оповідача й головного персонажа, але в його структуру також вплетено менші тексти, відмінні за жанром та стилістикою — це листи, фантазії, мрії, перекази, ідеї сценаріїв тощо. Таким чином читач стає свідком захопливого кількарівневого дистанціювання від реальності.

Among Lady Susan's conquests is the married Mr. Manwaring.
