'Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life . . .'
Passionate, free-thinking and unconventional, Miss Brodie is a teacher who exerts a powerful influence over her group of 'special girls' at Marcia Blaine School. They are the Brodie set, the crème de la crème, each famous for something - Monica for mathematics, Eunice for swimming, Rose for sex - who are initiated into a world of adult games and extracurricular activities they will never forget. But the price they pay is their undivided loyalty . . .
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a brilliantly comic novel featuring one of the most unforgettable characters in all literature.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
These four novels, each a miniature masterpiece, illustrate her development over four decades. Despite the seriousness of their themes, all four are fantastic comedies of manners, bristling with wit. Spark's most celebrated novel, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, tells the story of a charismatic schoolteacher's catastrophic effect on her pupils.

Notă biografică

Dame Muriel Spark (1918-2006) was born and educated in Edinburgh, before spending a number of years in central Africa. Although she's probably best known for her novels, she was also a prolific and highly successful writer in other mediums too, producing a multitude of plays, poetry collections and short stories. Her immersion in the literary world even extended to include a period as the editor of Poetry Review and a stint working collaboratively on several biographies. Such was the extent of her literary achievements, and the admiration of her peers, that she was honoured with a great many prizes and doctorates during her lifetime. Her obituary in the Telegraph remembered her as 'one of the most elegant and incisive of British novelists, famous for her astringent, vigorous prose and for the sinister and disorientating quality of her plots.'
