Traducción y edición de literatura clásica
En Misty Garden Books, creemos que es esencial ser fiel a las palabras del autor, su estilo, cadencia o musicalidad al expresarse, pero también es importante adaptar, hasta cierto punto, un texto escrito hace un par de siglos a un lenguaje adecuado para nuestra época. Es, por tanto, una difícil tarea que conlleva caminar en la cuerda floja entre el pasado y el presente, de forma que el texto, sin perder su verdadera esencia, se acerque un poco más a los lectores actuales.

Lady Audley lo tiene todo: belleza, riqueza y un marido que la adora. Es el modelo de virtud que toda mujer «debería» ser… al menos, según las reglas de la época, pero bajo sus rizos dorados y su sonrisa perfecta se esconde una historia que desafía esas reglas y se burla de quienes las imponen...

Condenada por tener una hija fuera del matrimonio, Hester se ve obligada a llevar la letra "A" (de adulterio) en su pecho, una marca de deshonra diseñada para doblegar su espíritu. Sin embargo, en lugar de venirse abajo, es capaz de transformar ese símbolo gracias a su dignidad y su fuerza.

Charlotte Brontë, 1847
Jane Eyre is the story of a young woman’s struggle for freedom, dignity, and love in a world that seeks to silence her. Orphaned and mistreated, Jane grows into a fiercely independent spirit who refuses to compromise her integrity. When she becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, she encounters the enigmatic Mr. Rochester—brooding, passionate, and hiding a dark secret that threatens to destroy them both. Torn between duty and desire, Jane must face betrayal, temptation, and her own sense of morality to find her true place in the world.
Louisa May Alcott, 1868
Amid the trials of the American Civil War, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—grow from spirited girls into remarkable women, each pursuing her own dreams and desires while bound by unbreakable family ties. Guided by love, courage, and their mother’s quiet strength, they learn what it means to grow, to lose, and to become their truest selves. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women remains a timeless story of sisterhood, resilience, and the enduring power of love.
“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
Amy March
Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1850
The Scarlet Letter is the timeless story of Hester Prynne, a woman whose quiet strength defies the judgmental world of 17th-century Puritan Boston. Condemned for bearing a child out of wedlock, Hester is forced to wear the scarlet "A" for adultery—a permanent mark of shame intended to crush her spirit. Yet, rather than break, she transforms the hateful symbol through sheer dignity and resilience. Hester refuses to name the father, enduring public shame and isolation with quiet dignity. The narrative masterfully weaves together the lives of Hester, her vengeful husband, Roger Chillingworth, and the tormented young minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, whose own secret struggles threaten to consume him.
Mary Elizabeth Braddon, 1862
Lady Audley has it all—beauty, wealth, and a devoted husband. She appears to embody the ideal of womanly virtue, at least according to the standards of her time. But beneath her golden curls and flawless smile lies a past that defies those very standards and mocks the society that upholds them.
Robert Audley, a young barrister and the nephew of Lady Audley’s husband, begins to suspect that there is more to his charming new aunt than meets the eye. His investigation will test not only his loyalty and sanity but also the honor of his entire family.
