Lovely old Valetines illustrating them reminding you of past romances. A must read collection." Includes complete and unabridged: FIRST LOVE by Ivan Turgenev WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Brontë MY ÁNTONIA by Willa Cather Read three of the greatest romances ever written, all three were included in The Guardian’s ‘1000 novels everyone should read (love).’ This collection is illustrated with beautiful Valentines from the 19th and early 20th century. FIRST LOVE “Ivan Turgenev's novella First Love is one of the most perfect things ever written.” H. Matar, The Guardian MY ÁNTONIA "No romantic novel ever written in America, by man or woman, is one half so beautiful as 'My Antonia’” H.L Mencken WUTHERING HEIGHTS “If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn’t love you as much as I do in a single day.” From Beth Boyd’s Introduction "From Russia with love we have Turgenev’s beautifully written novella ‘First Love’ which I found heart-breaking as a teenager, it now reminds me of that lost and irrecoverable innocence of hopes being dashed when you are young. The Yorkshire Moors are the location of ‘Wuthering Heights’ which is of course well known in its many film and television adaptations but the original text is so lively and full of brilliant full blown language you should read or re-read it if you haven’t already. The Brontë sisters were heroines of mine, although none of my sisters have pursued a literary career. Finally ‘My Ántonia’ is set in the prairies of Nebraska and captures the hard lives and loves of female pioneers."
