Description

For the first time in Russian—one of the main books by a British literature classic, Frances Burnett, the author of the acclaimed masterpiece “The Secret Garden,” which has been adapted for film eight times. The greatest treasure of Emily Fox-Seton, the heroine of “How to Become a Lady,” is her golden character. She is slightly over thirty, from a noble family, well educated—yet extremely poor. The young woman lives in late 19th-century London alone, without any support, modestly but with dignity. She manages circumstances skillfully and gets more than she could ever have dreamed of.

A novel full of English elegance and charm, first published in 1901, was split into two parts: “The Coming of the Marquess” and “The Manners of Lady Walderhurst.” In this book, continuing the tradition of “Jane Eyre” and “Miss Pettigrew,” Burnett’s special talent for writing optimistic and deeply moving stories shines with particular force.
