Her grand attempt to tell what she felt was the story of ” Jane Eyre`s” `madwoman in the attic`, Bertha Rochester, Jean Rhys` ” Wide Sargasso Sea” is edited with an introduction & notes by Angela Smith in ” Penguin Classics”. 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 & sensuality. After their marriage, however, disturbing rumours begin to circulate which poison her husband against her. Caught between his demands & her own precarious sense of belonging, Antoinette is inexorably driven towards madness, & her husband into the arms of another novel`s heroine. This classic study of betrayal, a seminal work of postcolonial literature, is Jean Rhys` brief, beautiful masterpiece. Jean Rhys (1894-1979) was born in Dominica. Coming to England aged 16, she drifted into various jobs before moving to Paris, where she began writing & was `discovered` by Ford Madox Ford. Her novels, often portraying women as underdogs out to exploit their sexualities, were ahead of their time & only modestly successful. From 1939 (when ” Good Morning, Midnight” was written) onwards she lived reclusively, & was largely forgotten when she made a sensational comeback with her account of Jane Eyre`s Bertha Rochester, ” Wide Sargasso Sea”, in 1966. If you enjoyed ” Wide Sargasso Sea”, you might like Charlotte Bronte`s ” Jane Eyre”, also available in ” Penguin Classics”. ” She took one of the works of genius of the nineteenth century & turned it inside-out to create one of the works of genius of the twentieth century”. (Michele Roberts, ” The Times”). ...

In 1987, the Tour was won by Irishman Stephen Roche. It was the first time the champion had hailed from outside the Continent or the States & the first time in 20 years a British team
- ANC Halfords
- had competed in the world`s toughest & craziest race. Jeff Connor not only stayed with the British team but also found himself an unofficial team member. In this long-awaited new edition of ” Wide-Eyed & Legless”, now widely regarded as a classic, Connor describes what it takes to compete, survive & win during those 26 days of gruelling effort. Alongside the heroism & athleticism, he reveals the extraordinary amounts of chicanery, from pulling riders along to illicit drug use. Time has not dimmed the impact of this eye-opening & entertaining close-up look at the supreme endurance event, & ” Wide-Eyed & Legless” is destined to be acclaimed by a new generation of cycling enthusiasts.
