«Los amores de Sylvia» is the historical novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, published by Ediciones del Bronce in paperback (100 pages, in Spanish).
Set in an English coastal town at the end of the 18th century, the story follows Sylvia Robson, a young woman torn between harpooner Charley Kinraid and her cousin Philip Hepburn. With England at war with France, forced press-gangs of sailors shake the community, and the personal decisions of the three characters end up intertwining their fates.
Novel originally published as Sylvia's Lovers in 1863; this Spanish edition (2002) belongs to the Clásicos del Bronce collection.
A work for those who appreciate Victorian classics, romantic drama, and historical narrative with a social backdrop.
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer. Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Her only biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë, published in 1857, was controversial and significant in establishing the Brontë family's lasting fame. Among Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford (1851–1853), North and South (1854–1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864–1866), all of which have been adapted for television by the BBC.
