Which trilogy provides readers with a unique look at Asian family traditions?

For eight years a noblewoman Anne Elliott, the main character, has been living and regretting her rejection a simple sailor Frederick Wentworth. After the years Wentworth, has become a rich and successful captain, returns to his hometown. His pride is hurt, and he still resents Ann. The book subtly reflects the feelings of the characters, which, due to the social mores of the early 19th century, had to be hidden. If there had happened an opportunity to talk openly to understand each other, the situation would have turned out another way. I enjoy rereading this book. I believe, it is this the one the most romantic Austin’s story!

This is "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". In the poem, the old mariner tells the story of his wanderings, when an Albatross has arrived on the ship. The sailors perceived the bird as a good sign and were happy about it, until an old sailor suddenly killed it with a crossbow. After this incident, disasters began, those ended with a shipwreck and the death of the entire team. The mariner has survived, but he has to redeem himself by retelling endlessly his story to give a lesson about the nature and its creatures significance.

This is a book about great love. The one for which a simple peasant boy, Philip, becomes an educated London gentleman! It is also a book about friendship and mutual support! Dickens has created unforgettable characters and his exciting plot would engage students of literature, history and psychology.

The main character of the novel, also Philip, put to the proof and challenge, but eventually finds a way to a personal liberation and harmony. This novel is considered a biography, Maugham shows the human passions turn into a burden, keeping a person away from happiness and self-actualization.

200 years after Jane Austen's novels, love couples still face social prejudice. Rachel, a Chinese-American university lecturer, travels to Singapore to meet her groom’s, Nick Young, "insanely rich" family. The trilogy delivers a unique perspective on the culture and traditions of Asian families, including their common values, customs and social norms. A very beautiful Hollywood movie was made after the first book of the trilogy.
