After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie

release date: Feb 01, 2026
After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie
"Lucid, exact, and swift. . . . An essential part of the [Rhys] record." ―V. S. Naipaul, The New York Review of Books Julia Martin has long depended on the generosity of men. But when her affair with Mr. Mackenzie comes to an end, leaving her near destitute in Paris, Julia reaches a turning point. Her youth waning and her desperation growing, Julia returns to London, only to discover her ailing mother no longer recognizes her and her estranged sister wants nothing to do with her. With psychological depth and penetrating insight, Jean Rhys explores the contradictions of love and the perils of being a woman without means in interwar Europe in a novel the Guardian calls "a flawless work of art." "If ever there was an unsung heroine of feminist literature, it is the amazing Jean Rhys." –Alan Cumming, Emmy and Tony Award–winning actor

Sargassohavet

release date: Jan 01, 2011
Sargassohavet
Sargassohavet utspelar sig i det tidiga 1800-talets Västindien, mitt i den förrädiska naturens överdådiga grönska. Antoinette Cosway gifter sig med den unge engelsmannen Edward Rochester. Men illasinnade rykten börjar cirkulera  och får honom att vända sig mot henne. Sakta men säkert drivs Antoinette mot vansinne. Sargassohavet bygger på Charlotte Brontës roman Jane Eyre. Den är en omskrivning av den viktorianska berättelsen men samtidigt ett enastående verk i sig självt, som med tiden blivit en postkolonial klassiker. JEAN RHYS [18901979] hade länge antagits död när hon plötsligt åter dök upp på den litterära scenen med Sargassohavet 1966. I den engelskspråkiga världen mottogs romanen som en sensation. »Rhys öppnar en hemlig dörr i Brontës viktorianska roman  en dörr till koloniernas historia, minst lika undertryckt som en förbjuden kvinnlig vrede. Sargassohavet är ett oroande mästerverk.« EVA STRÖM, SYDSVENSKAN »Tveklöst ett mästerverk.« MAGNUS ERIKSSON, SVENSKA DAGBLADET »Det är som om Charlotte Brontës roman Jane Eyre vore del två i en romansvit och nu har man äntligen hittat del ett, för att strax upptäcka att den är ännu bättre.« CATRIN VILLAUME FÄGERSTRAND, NORRKÖPINGS TIDNINGAR »En av 1900-talets 100 bästa engelskspråkiga romaner.« TIME MAGAZINE

Modern Classics Wide Sargasso Sea
One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World' 'Rhys took one of the works of genius of the 19th Century and turned it inside-out to create one of the works of genius of the 20th Century' Michele Roberts Jean Rhys's masterpiece tells the story of Jane Eyre's 'madwoman in the attic', Bertha Rochester. Born into the oppressive, colonialist society of 1930s Jamaica, white Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway meets a young Englishman who is drawn to her innocent beauty and sensuality. After their marriage, however, disturbing rumours begin to circulate which poison her husband against her. Caught between his demands and her own precarious sense of belonging, Antoinette is inexorably driven towards madness, and her husband into the arms of another novel's heroine. This classic study of betrayal, a seminal work of postcolonial literature, is Jean Rhys's brief, beautiful masterpiece. Edited with an introduction and notes by Angela Smith

Quai des Grands-Augustins

Quai des Grands-Augustins
Julia Martin, une Anglaise de trente-six ans, est abandonnée par son amant. Nous suivons sa dérive, d'un petit hôtel parisien de la Rive gauche jusqu'à Londres, puis de nouveau à Paris. Entre-temps, une sensibilité aura été détruite, à jamais. S'il fallait analyser l'art d'un grand écrivain, chaque page de ce roman deviendrait exemplaire. À travers un personnage de femme meurtrie, dont la démarche est de plus en plus floue, Jean Rhys parvient à exprimer de façon inimitable l'absurdité d'un destin. Rien de spectaculaire, et pourtant on a l'impression d'aller au-delà du possible parce que l'essentiel est dit, qui nous atteint au plus profond, bouleversant nos certitudes.
