Bridgerton: The Duke and I (Bridgertons Book 1): The Sunday Times bestselling inspiration for the Netflix Original Series Bridgerton: Bridgertons, cartea 1
Autor Julia Quinnen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2020
Ce se întâmplă când singura cale de a supraviețui sezonului social londonez este o minciună bine ticluită? În „The Duke And I”, miza nu este doar găsirea unui soț, ci protejarea autonomiei personale într-o lume guvernată de reguli rigide. Daphne Bridgerton, o tânără de o onestitate dezarmantă, se trezește prinsă în cercul vicios al prieteniei cu bărbații eligibili, fără a fi însă curtată serios. De cealaltă parte, Simon Basset, Ducele de Hastings, poartă cicatricile unui trecut marcat de respingerea paternă și este hotărât să nu lase pe nimeni să se apropie. Recomandăm acest prim volum din seria Bridgertons pentru modul în care Julia Quinn transformă tropul „fake courtship” (curtea falsă) într-o explorare intimă a vulnerabilității. Dacă Bridgerton: The Viscount Who Loved Me v-a captivat prin dinamica intensă a rivalității transformate în iubire, această carte extinde experiența în direcția unei prietenii care devine, treptat și inevitabil, o pasiune mistuitoare. Tonul este sclipitor, plin de spirit și replici tăioase, amintind de umorul fin din Emma de Jane Austen, dar cu o senzualitate modernă. Față de lucrări precum Queen Charlotte, unde accentul cade pe responsabilitatea coroanei, aici ne concentrăm pe dinamica internă a familiei Bridgerton, un nucleu de loialitate și afecțiune care oferă suportul necesar personajelor pentru a-și înfrunta proprii demoni.

Despre autor
Julia Quinn, absolventă de Harvard și una dintre cele 16 autoare incluse în Romance Writers of America’s Hall of Fame, este o figură centrală a romanului de dragoste istoric contemporan. Deși inițial s-a pregătit pentru o carieră în medicină, pasiunea pentru perioada Regenței și influența clasicilor precum Jane Austen au condus-o spre scris. Stilul său este definit de un optimism debordant și de convingerea în finalul fericit. Prin seria Bridgertons, tradusă în peste 30 de limbi, Quinn a revitalizat genul istoric, oferind voci feminine puternice și dialoguri efervescente care au cucerit publicul global.
Descriere
'Quinn is a master of historical romance' Entertainment Weekly
'A smart, funny touch. . . reminiscent of Helen Fielding' Time Magazine
From New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the first novel in the beloved Regency-set world of her charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix.
In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince - while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood.
A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable . . . but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter.
The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her.
She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society - just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood.
Yet an encounter with his best friend's sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar.
The plan works like a charm-at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule . . . Find out why readers love Julia Quinn ...

The first novel in Julia Quinn's worldwide bestselling Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is the story of Daphne and Simon: welcome to the ballrooms of Regency London . . .
Can there be any greater challenge to London's Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke? Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1813
By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister, the lovely - and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable . . .
Their ruse works like a charm - at first. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. Maybe it's his devilish smile, certainly it's the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her. It wasn't the plan, but it seems she's falling for the duke, for real. And amidst the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule . . .
