Sinopse

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector´s Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector´s Library are books to love and treasure. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy Mangan. The Yellow Wallpaper & Herland embodies Charlotte Perkins Gilman´s radical feminism and her lifelong battle to give women a voice in a world ruled by men. Trapped in her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby, the nameless narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper keeps a secret diary in which she charts the sprawling patterns of the room´s lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness. This chilling short story is based on the author´s own experience of depression and an enforced rest cure. In Herland, a trio of men set out to discover an all-female community rumoured to be hidden deep in an unnamed jungle. What they find far exceeds expectations; they´re captured by highly educated women who, for two thousand years, have lived in a peaceful and prosperous utopia.
