Lady Audley's secret. A novel

Lady Audley, a beautiful woman with a mysterious past, rises from governess to become the selfish and shamelessly acquisitive wife of an aristocrat. Her ruthless ambition and her vulgar tastes serve as commentary on the rise of the middle class and the consumer culture; her ultimate fate reflects the public's fascination with psychological theories about the nature of identity and the definition of madness.

  • "In this three-volume sensation novel, a social-climbing young wife arouses suspicion when there appears to be more to her than meets the eye. Originally published in the 1860s, the work is considered an early precursor of the detective novel."@en
  • "Ein Londoner Anwalt versucht, den Mord an seinem Freund aufzuklären, doch die wunderschöne Lady Audley will dies mit allen Mitteln verhindern. Ihm wird schnell klar, dass Lady Audley ein dunkles Geheimnis hütet. Um den Mörder seines Freundes finden zu können, muss er es lüften. Ein spannendes Katz-und-Maus-Spiel beginnt zwischen dem jungen Mann und der mysteriösen Frau. Hochgelobt von den damaligen Kritikern erlebte 'Lady Audley's Secret' bereits im Jahr seines Erscheinens, 1862, einen bis dahin unerreichten Erfolg. Braddons Buch wurde übersetzt, verfilmt und auf die Theaterbühnen der Welt gebracht. Mary Elisabeth Braddon (1837-1915) gilt als erste viktorianische Bestsellerautorin. Kritiker wie Charles Dickens oder Thomas Hardy nannten ihre Werke 'brillant, geistreich und lebendig'. M. E. Braddon war eine starke Frau, sie ernährte früh ihre gesamte Familie, stand eine Scheidung durch, lebte in skandalös wilder Ehe und schrieb über 80 Romane. Darin thematisierte sie auch gesellschaftlich heikle Themen wie Bigamie, Ehebruch, Abtreibung u.a. Anja Marschall ist Krimiautorin und lebte lange Zeit in London. Als bekennende Anglophile mit Faible für das 19. Jahrhundert machte sie den vergessenen viktorianischen Krimiklassiker mit ihrer Übersetzung und Überarbeitung für das heutige Publikum endlich wieder zugänglich. Im Dryas Verlag erschien von ihr 'Fortunas Schatten' und der Cornwallkrimi 'Das Erbe von Tanston Hall' im Goldfinch Verlag."

  • "Lady Audley's Secret is a sensation novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, written in 1862. It follows Robert Audley through his detective-like work in trying to uncover what happened to his friend George Talboys and who his uncle's wife, Lucy Audley, really is. During his search, Robert has to deal with lies, deceit, and even an attempt to kill him. Although the novel's content of bigamy and attempted murder was considered fairly immoral at the time of publication, it was extremely successful ..."@en
  • "Lady Audley's Secret was one of the first and most successful sensation novels of the late 19th century. A young gentleman of leisure, Robert Audley, is spurred into action when his friend Geroge Talboys goes missing from Audley Court. As an amateur detective, Robert travels the length and breadth of the country, only to discover that the answer to the mystery lies in the true identity of his uncle's wife, Lady Audley. True to its genre, the novel brings danger home to the private sphere of the country house and questions the unassailable boundaries of class. It is also a strident feminine criticism of the times, though debate still rages as to whether Braddon tidies her questions away too neatly at the end of the novel."@en

  • "'Lady Audley uttered a long, low, wailing cry, and threw up her arms above her head with a wild gesture of despair'. In this outlandish, outrageous triumph of scandal fiction, a new Lady Audley arrives at the manor: young, beautiful - and very mysterious. Why does she behave so strangely? What, exactly, is the dark secret this seductive outsider carries with her? A huge success in the nineteenth century, the book's anti-heroine - with her good looks and hidden past - embodied perfectly the concerns of the Victorian age with morality and madness. This is the Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War."@en

  • "Detective and mystery stories. The Green Popular Penguins Story: It was in 1935 when Allen Lane stood on a British railway platform looking for something good to read on his journey. His choice was limited to popular magazines and poor quality paperbacks. Lane's disappointment at the range of books available led him to found a company - and change the world. In 1935 the Penguin was born, but it took until the late 1940s for the Crime and Mystery series to emerge. The genre thrived in the post-war austerity of the 1940s, and reached heights of popularity by the 1960s. Suspense, compelling plots and captivating characters ensure that once again you need look no further than the Penguin logo for the scene of the perfect crime."
