A famous novel that unleashed a storm of emotions among literary critics. Writers managed to combine classicism and horror, producing an epic work—often highly grotesque.
For many years now, since Mrs. Bennet’s youth, England has been suffering from an unknown epidemic: the dead rise from their graves. They roam the countryside, seeking living people in order to eat them. London is surrounded by a huge defensive wall and is divided into several parts. The land forces are constantly in the most affected areas: Hertfordshire, Derbyshire, and Essex.
This circumstance, in turn, has had the most serious impact on the lives of people of that time in England. The head of the family, Mr. Bennet, in caring for his daughters, taught them the handling of many types of weapons—both cold steel and firearms. He also considered it necessary to train his girls in Eastern martial arts, sending them to China, to the Shaolin monastery, where they learned the monks’ skills and the philosophy of warrior honor. Having mastered the katana to perfection, Miss Elizabeth and her sisters gained enormous popularity, becoming defenders of Longbourn and heroines of Hertfordshire.
