Austrálska prozaička Colleen McCulloughová čerpá vo svojom diele z bohatých životných skúseností, ktoré získala v rozličných povolaniach — ako novinárka, knihovníčka, učiteľka a neurofyziologička. Okrem románu Tim napísala širokouhlú rodinnú ságu Vtáky v tŕní, preslávenú najmä v podobe televízneho seriálu, ktorý obehol celý svet. Stredobodom tohto realisticky stvárneného príbehu, ktorý sa odohráva na Novom Zélande a v Austrálii, je život na veľkofarme v priebehu päťdesiatych rokov a nepretržitý zápas ťažko pracujúceho človeka s prírodou a živelnými katastrofami. Román má viacero dejových línií, v ktorých autorka priebežne sleduje osudy jednotlivých členov rodiny Clearyovcov, pričom ju zaujíma najmä ľudské vnútro, pohnútky a motívy určujúce ich konanie. Ústredný konflikt tvorí romantický ľúbostný vzťah farmárskej dcéry Meggie a katolíckeho kňaza Ralpha de Bricassart, ktorý po celý čas bojuje medzi vlastnou ctižiadosťou a túžbou po láske nezlučiteľnej s postavením cirkevného hodnostára. Medzi najsilnejšie a pre nášho čitateľa najpríťažlivejšie stránky knihy patria kritickorealistické pasáže sledujúce rast a historický vývoj jednej rodiny na vzdialenom kontinente s malebnou, fascinujúcou prírodou.

Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world's most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius." Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world's most beloved novels. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Diane Johnson, the National Book Award-nominated author of many novels, including Le Mariage and Le Divorce. The timeless story of Jane Eyre has arrived on Broadway as a spectacular new musical from an all-star production team, consisting of John Caird (Les Misérables, Nicholas Nickleby), who adapted and staged (with Scott Schwartz); composer Paul Gordon; designer John Napier (Cats, Les Misérables, Sunset Boulevard); costume designer Andreane Neofitou (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon); and lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, six-time winners of the Tonytm Award.
