More than beauty. Lessons of femininity from the heroines of cult novels

The world classics of fiction, like no other, were versed in the intricacies of true femininity. One has only to look at the images that are well known to everyone - graceful, light, sophisticated - the heroines of their novels were and remain the embodiment of attractiveness, despite the tests of love or a difficult fate.

Philologist Maria Shipilova proposes to consider these cult women from a new side and learn from them:
• Create a unique style, like Emma from Madame Bovary, who caught the delighted glances of passers -by, barely leaving the house,
• To radiate self -confidence, turning his external shortcomings into dignity, like a true Parisian Michelle de Burn from the novel “Our Heart” Gi de Maupassan,
• Make others like Anna Karenina, who was distinguished by skill to conduct social conversations,
• Skillfully switch between the roles of the lover, wife and mother, in order to maintain harmonious relations in the family, without repeating the mistakes of Meg from the Olcott novel “Good wives”,
• And also include in your life the lost rituals and traditions of the reception of guests told by Marcel Proust, who will prove you as the most skilled and hospitable mistress.

“This book is a fascinating journey into the world of classical literature that we love so much. The author immerses us in the daily life of well -known heroines, revealing their images from a new side and giving the opportunity to learn elegance, which conquered more than one male heart. ” - eva.ru
