Whoever can bed the most lovers during their month-long dueling book tour wins a coveted publishing contract. The win should be easy for Edwina.

But when failure means plummeting her career back into obscurity, losing isn’t an option. Her handsome fae rival, William Haywood, poses an even greater challenge. Not only are his looks as aggravatingly perfect as his track record behind closed doors, but he has his own reasons for playing to win, and he won’t go down without a fight.

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.
Originally published in 1929, A Room of One's Own eloquently states Woolf's conviction that in order to create works of genius, women must be freed from financial obligations and social restrictions.

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.
"Fünfhundert Pfund im Jahr und ein eigenes Zimmer" sind die Voraussetzung dafür, dass auch Frauen große Literatur produzieren können: Brillant und überaus amüsant beschreibt Virginia Woolf 1929 in ihrem Essay A Room of one's own die Lage der Frauen aus der Perspektive einer fiktiven Schriftstellerin. Hätte Shakespeare eine Schwester gehabt, ebenso begabt wie er, wie wäre es ihr ergangen? Und was brauchen Frauen, um künstlerisch tätig sein zu können? A room of one's own wurde sehr schnell zu einem der klassischen Texte der Frauenbewegung und weltweit ein großer Erfolg.

Un libro capital del siglo XX que sentó las bases del true crime moderno. El 15 de noviembre de 1959, en un pueblecito de Kansas, los cuatro miembros de la familia Clutter fueron salvajemente asesinados en su casa. Los crímenes eran aparentemente inmotivados, y no se encontraron claves que permitieran identificar a los asesinos. Cinco años, cuatro meses y veintinueve días más tarde, el 14 de abril de 1965, Dick Hickcock y Perry Smith fueron ahorcados como culpables de las muertes en la penitenciaría del estado de Kansas.A partir de estos hechos, y tras realizar largas y minuciosas investigaciones con los protagonistas reales de la historia, Truman Capote dio un vuelco a su carrera de narrador y escribió A sangre fría, la novela que le consagró definitivamente como uno de los grandes de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX. Capote sigue paso a paso la vida del pequeño pueblecito, esboza retratos de los que serían víctimas de una muerte tan espantosa como insospechada, acompaña a la policía en las pesquisas que condujeron al descubrimiento y detención de Hickcock y Smith y, sobre todo, se concentra en los dos criminales psicópatas hasta construir dos personajes perfectamente perfilados, a los que el lector llegará a conocer íntimamente.Al yuxtaponer las vidas y el sistema de valores de los Clutter con los de los asesinos, Capote nos brinda su visión de la doblez de la vida norteamericana.A sangre fría, que fue bautizada, pionera y provocativamente, por Capote como una «non fiction novel», es un libro estremecedor que, desde la fecha misma de su publicación, se convirtió en un clásico.A partir de estos hechos, y tras realizar largas y minuciosas investigaciones con los protagonistas reales de la historia, Truman Capote dio un vuelco a su carrera de narrador y escribió A sangre fría, la novela que le consagró definitivamente como uno de los grandes de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX.
