Description

Inspired by recent current cultural movements (The Women's March, #MeToo), and the new wave of feminism, these new releases of classic books feature strong female protagonists who must navigate difficult situations involving class and power, love and loss, sex and family, independence and societal norms, and more. From the front flap: "Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are salty when their dad dies and they're forced to go live with peeps they don't even really know. As awkward as it is though, it's not all downhill when the girls meet up with some guys who seem pretty chill. Elinor's sorta feeling it with Edward Farrars, a man who's got his swag on; but Elinor knows she should watch herself and decides to play it cool. Marianne, on the other hand, just wants to swipe right. Though Colonel Brandon doesn't do it for her, she thinks that John Willoughby looks pretty fine and decides to hit him up." As different as the two are, the Dashwood sisters are tight and just want each other to be happy. But Elinor and Marianne will have to learn to find a good balance between heart and mind if they want to stay lit. Each book is packaged in an eye-catching luxe paperback format to appeal to the Generation Z buyer, though these timeless stories will appeal to anyone interested in the female experience throughout history. Other books in the Z Lit Classics series include: The Scarlet Letter,Tess of the D'Urbervilles,Little Women,Tales from the 1001 Nights,, and The Awakening and Other Stories.

Author Biography:

One of most beloved writers of classic literature, Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist best known for six books: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, and Mansfield Park. All her works, usually a mix of comedy, romance, and irony, were fixed in realism and served as social commentary for women's dependence on marriage for financial stability and social status. Though she received little fame in her own life since her novels were published anonymously, Austen and her works have posthumously moved and inspired millions around the world for her unconformity to social expectations. Graphic Arts Books is a book publisher based in Berkeley, CA, and brings exceptional books to both children and adult readers of fiction, cooking, history, memoir, nature and wildlife, photography, travel, and more, including the new Z Lit Classics series that presents favorite stories from classic literature repackaged in a luxe and beautiful design.
