I knew he was imagining a really lovely girl - all curves, curls, heart and hidden claws'

In stories that span the course of a lifetime - from childhood in the Caribbean to adolescent modelling in Paris; and from lonely adulthood to old age and beyond - here are women adrift, at sea, down but not quite out.

Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jean Rhys

Jean Rhys é o pseudónimo de Ella Gwendolyn Rees Williams, nascida na Dominica em 1890, filha de um médico galês e de uma mãe crioula branca. Aos 16 anos foi para Inglaterra, onde foi manequim, modelo e rapariga de coro. Começou a escrever em Paris, aos 30 anos, quando o primeiro dos seus três casamentos terminou. Vanguardista de temas e forma, o seu trabalho foi ignorado a princípio e Jean deixou de escrever e de aparecer em público. Foi descoberta vinte anos mais tarde e escreveu a sua obra mais emblemática: Vasto Mar de Sargaços.
Foi eleita Fellow da Royal Society of Literature e Commander of the British Empire, o mais elevado título britânico.
