Clarissa, or the History of a Young Lady by Samuel Richardson
ISBN: 9780140432152 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 1536 PUBLICATION DATE: 29.08.1985 DIMENSIONS: 234mmX145mmX57mm 1189grams
DESCRIPTION: Pressured by her unscrupulous family to marry a wealthy man she detests, the young Clarissa Harlowe is tricked into fleeing with the witty and debonair Robert Lovelace and places herself under his protection. Lovelace, however, proves himself to be an untrustworthy rake whose vague promises of marriage are accompanied by unwelcome and increasingly brutal sexual advances. And yet, Clarissa finds his charm alluring, her scrupulous sense of virtue tinged with unconfessed desire. Told through a complex series of interweaving letters, "Clarissa" is a richly ambiguous study of a fatally attracted couple and a work of astonishing power and immediacy. A huge success when it first appeared in 1747, and translated into French and German, it remains one of the greatest of all European novels.
