Reseña del libro "Golden Arrow (en Inglés)"

Golden Arrow is a novel written by Mary Webb, first published in 1916. The story is set in the countryside of Shropshire, England, and follows the life of a young woman named Hazel Woodus. Hazel is a beautiful and passionate girl who lives with her parents in a small cottage in the hills. She dreams of adventure and romance, but her life takes a dramatic turn when she meets a handsome and mysterious stranger named Richard Lovell.Richard is a wealthy landowner who is visiting the area to hunt. He is instantly drawn to Hazel's beauty and spirit, and the two quickly fall in love. However, their relationship is complicated by Richard's past and his family's disapproval of Hazel's humble origins. As they navigate the challenges of their love, Hazel discovers a dark secret about Richard that threatens to tear them apart.Golden Arrow is a story of love, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of the English countryside. Mary Webb's vivid descriptions of the landscape and her richly drawn characters make this a captivating and memorable novel. The book explores themes of class, societal expectations, and the power of love to overcome obstacles. It is a timeless tale that continues to resonate with readers today.The gate clicked and she was there. She had never looked so frail, so provocative; she had never been more purposeful or less desirous of admiration. They went in. Lily was genuinely pleased; after the rambling ruin at home, impossible to keep in order even for more industrious hands than hers, the compact, neat little home was delightful. She thought how easy the work would be. She was not meant for the hardy magnificence of manual labour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

(Shropshire 1881 - St. Leonards on Sea 1927) fue una novelista y poeta inglesa. Empezó a escribir cuando tenía diez años, pero siempre acababa quemando todos sus poemas. Sin embargo, una vez su hermanó leyó uno y sin decirle nada, lo llevó al Shrewsbury Chronicle, que lo publicó anónimamente. Mary quedó asombrada ante la buena acogida que tuvo. Desde los veinte años Mary Webb había desarrollado la enfermedad de Graves-Basedow, y ese sufrimiento, así como su añoranza de Shropshire, le servirían de inspiración para Precioso veneno (1924). A pesar de ganar el Prix Femina Vie Heureuse con esta novela, no alcanzó el éxito hasta después de su temprana muerte en 1927, cuando el primer ministro Stanley Baldwin se refirió a ella como «un genio olvidado».
