Jane Austen
Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.The anonymously published Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), were a modest success but brought her little fame in her lifetime. She wrote two other novels—Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1817—and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, the short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and the unfinished novel The Watsons.Since her death Austen's novels have rarely been out of print. A significant transition in her reputation occurred in 1833, when they were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series (illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering and sold as a set). They gradually gained wide acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience. Her work has inspired a large number of critical essays and has been included in many literary anthologies. Her novels have also inspired many films, including 1940's Pride and Prejudice, 1995's Sense and Sensibility and 2016's Love & Friendship.

A Abadia de Northanger
Jane Austen
"Quem tivesse visto Catherine Morland em criança nunca poderá supor que nascera para heroína". Até receber o convite da família Allen para passar uns dias no balneário de Bath, em Inglaterra, a jovem Catherine sentia-se amaldiçoada pela sorte. Todavia, nas termas descobre um mundo até então desconhecido e deixa-se seduzir pelos longos bailes bem frequentados. Completamente rendida à vida mundana, Catherine faz-se amiga da bela Isabella Thorpe e perde-se de amores por dois dos mais distintos jovens da cidade: o simpático John Thorpe e o espirituoso Henry Tilney. Mas é na visita à Abadia de Northanger, propriedade ancestral dos Tilney, que a nossa heroína, fascinada pelos romances góticos, vai viver a sua maior aventura. Mergulhada no espírito sinistro da majestosa mansão e completamente toldada por visões romanescas, Catherine imagina crimes, mistérios e conspirações. Serão as suas fantasias verdadeiras?
Akıl ve Tutku
Jane Austen
Librarian Note: Hardcover Edition — 9789944882569.
Kırk iki yıllık gözden uzak ve sade yaşantısına karşın yazdıklarıyla İngiliz edebiyat tarihinin bir kült romancısı olmayı başardı. Eserlerinde güçlü kadın karakterleri başkahramanlar olarak yer aldı. Bütün romanları sinemaya uyarlanan Jane Austen, Akıl ve Tutkuda aile değerleri ve akrabalık ilişkileri ile kadın duyarlığı ve aşkı ele alır. Bu romanda da Jane Austenın derin gözlemi, zarif üslubu ve ince ironisi eserin konusu kadar dikkat çekicidir.
Amor y amistad
Jane Austen
Estos relatos fueron escritos por Jane Austen entre 1787 y 1793, por lo tanto hay composiciones casi infantiles, aunque hay algunas que revisó posteriormente cuando ya era una escritora madura. Ella misma los reunió en estos tres volúmenes. Estaban destinados al ámbito familiar y no fueron publicados hasta 1922. En los textos prevalece un humor más desatado en inventiva de lo que será normal en la autora, pero muy parecido al resto de su obra en los aspectos irónicos e incisivos.
Amour et amitié
Jane Austen
La vocation de Jane Austen fut précoce : à peine sortie de l'enfance, elle faisait les délices du cercle familial par de désopilantes parodies du roman sensationnel alors en vogue. Écrit à l'âge de quinze ans, Amour et amitié est, comme le soulignait Chesterton dans sa préface de 1922, l'une des plus grandes réussites de cette oeuvre de jeunesse. Les tribulations délirantes de la belle Laura, fanatiquement éprise de beaux sentiments et égoïste jusqu'à l'absurde, y sont narrées avec le sens aigu de l'invraisemblance et la lucidité ironique qui caractériseront les romans de la maturité. Mais c'est d'abord une farce étourdissante, volontiers sardonique, qui illustre avec éclat l'audace et l'insolence qu'Austen devait plus tard mettre en sourdine : cette jeune fille de quinze ans, remarquerait Virginia Woolf plus tard, "s'y rit du monde dans son coin".
Angkuh & Prasangka
Jane Austen
Siapa Darcy di mata seorang Lizzy? Lelaki angkuh, sombong, mewah tetapi megah. Meski berpicing mata, Elizabeth tahu Darcy sama sekali tidak mempersona. Elizabeth benci akan cara Darcy memandang dunia sekelilingnya; merendah-rendahkan, bicaranya meremehkan, sesuai sekali dengan darjatnya sebagai bangsawan. Api kebencian Elizabeth kian marak, apabila mendapat tahu, Darcy pernah melakukan sesuatu perkara yang menurutnya, tidak boleh dimaafkan. Ada sisi lain pada diri Darcy, tetapi Elizabeth mengambil masa yang lama untuk memahami, dan menerima kebaikan yang tersembunyi. Mampukah Elizabeth menebus prasangkanya terhadap keangkuhan Darcy selama ini Akankah tumbuh cinta yang sia-sia atau sesuatu yang bererti? Dalam Angkuh & Prasangka, Jane Austen menumpahkan citra yang memikat tentang hubungan cinta kaum menengah atas Inggeris abad ke-19. Dengan watak yang memukau dan jalan cerita yang mempesona pembaca, tidak hairanlah novel ini kekal relevan sepanjang zaman.
Ask ve Gurur (Ciltsiz)
Jane Austen
Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.

Büszkeség és balítélet
Jane Austen
Csodálatos lények lehettek a régi angol papkisasszonyok - egy kis faluban elásva, vénlányságra és tüdőbajra kárhoztatva hervadhatatlan regényeket tudtak írni az emberi természetről és szenvedélyekről. Jane Austen is vidéki papleány volt, mint a Brontë nővérek. Hat teljes regény maradt utána és néhány töredék. Ennek a viszonylag kis életműnek legismertebb és sok kritikus szerint a legjelentősebb darabja a Büszkeség és balítélet.
Mint Austen többi regényét, ezt is feszes szerkezete, klasszikus stílusa, szellemes dialógusai, pompás pszichológiája és nem utolsósorban írónőjének csillogó okossága teszik ma is élvezetes olvasmánnyá.

Catharine and Other Writings
Jane Austen
'Perhaps he is come to rob the house--He comes in stile at least; and it will be some consolation for our losses to be robbed by a Gentleman in a Chaise and 4--'
Jane Austen began writing in her early teens, and filled three notebooks with her fiction. Her earliest work reflects her interest in the novel as a genre; in brilliant short pieces she plays with plots, stock characters, diction, and style, developing a sense of form at a remarkably early age.
The characters of these stories have a jaunty and never-failing devotion to themselves. They perpetually lie, cheat, steal--and occasionally commit murder. Throughout these short or unfinished pieces, Austen exhibits her sense of the preposterous in life and fiction with tough-mindedness and robust humor. In her later published fiction, Austen had learned to take demands for propriety seriously, reining in whatever might be thought boisterous or coarse. Here we see Jane Austen without her inhibitions.
In addition to prose fiction and prayers, this collection also contains many of Jane Austen's poems, written to amuse or console friends, and rarely reprinted. Texts throughout are based on manuscripts, including the three notebooks, affording a distinct edition with a number of new readings.

Complete Novels of Jane Austen
Jane Austen
Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published.
Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park; her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; and Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight. Indeed not unlike her renowned creator.
Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose.

Duma i uprzedzenie
Jane Austen
Na początku zeszłego stulecia niezbyt zamożny ojciec pięciu córek nader często musiał zadawać sobie pytanie: kiedyż to w sąsiedztwie pojawi się jakiś odpowiedni kawaler? A kiedy już się pojawił, następowały dalsze perypetie, które Jane Austen z upodobaniem opisywała.
Duma i uprzedzenie uważana jest za arcydzieło w dorobku tej angielskiej pisarki, głównie dzięki zabawnym, zgoła dickensowskim opisom postaci głupich i niesympatycznych. Znajdujemy tu także melancholijną refleksję nad władzą pieniądza i znaczeniem pozycji społecznej, decydujących o życiu młodej panny; a przede wszystkim znakomity, powściągliwy styl, doskonale oddający harmonię opisywanego świata...
Ema
Jane Austen
Ema é uma herdeira rica, inteligente e bela. Optimista, consciente da sua superioridade, segura de si mesma, fiel respeitadora as "conveniências" - enfim, o tipo acabado da "verdadeira senhora" -, passa o tempo a combinar casamentos "convenientes" entre amigos e protegidos.
Um dia, sem arranjos prévios, ela própria é pedida em casamento por Mr. Knightley. Ema não assume um compromisso, mas não o desencoraja, debatendo-se com um drama interior: o pretendente é amado por uma das suas melhores amigas, a qual Ema deseja ver feliz e "convenientemente" casada. No íntimo, porém, tem um sentimento de aversão ao casamento de Harriet com Knightley e não pelas questões de conveniência que tanto respeita: é que ela própria ama Knightley.
Ema cede finalmente a um amor que tem razões mais fortes que a própria razão.

Jane Austen

Emma Woodhouse is one of Austen's most captivating and vivid characters. Beautiful, spoilt, vain and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect.
Emma: 200th-Anniversary Annotated Edition (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Jane Austen
Emma Woodhouse believes herself to be an excellent matchmaker, though she herself does not plan on marrying. But as she meddles in the relationships of others, she causes confusion and misunderstandings throughout the village, and she just may be overlooking a true love of her own.
Emma by Jane Austen
Jane Austen
Of all Jane Austen's heroines, Emma Woodhouse is the most flawed, the most infuriating, and, in the end, the most endearing. Pride and Prejudice's Lizzie Bennet has more wit and sparkle; Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey more imagination; and Sense and Sensibility's Elinor Dashwood certainly more sense--but Emma is lovable precisely because she is so imperfect. Austen only completed six novels in her lifetime, of which five feature young women whose chances for making a good marriage depend greatly on financial issues, and whose prospects if they fail are rather grim. Emma is the exception: "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." One may be tempted to wonder what Austen could possibly find to say about so fortunate a character. The answer is, quite a lot.For Emma, raised to think well of herself, has such a high opinion of her own worth that it blinds her to the opinions of others. The story revolves around a comedy of errors: Emma befriends Harriet Smith, a young woman of unknown parentage, and attempts to remake her in her own image. Ignoring the gaping difference in their respective fortunes and stations in life, Emma convinces herself and her friend that Harriet should look as high as Emma herself might for a husband--and she zeroes in on an ambitious vicar as the perfect match. At the same time, she reads too much into a flirtation with Frank Churchill, the newly arrived son of family friends, and thoughtlessly starts a rumor about poor but beautiful Jane Fairfax, the beloved niece of two genteelly impoverished elderly ladies in the village. As Emma's fantastically misguided schemes threaten to surge out of control, the voice of reason is provided by Mr. Knightly, the Woodhouse's longtime friend and neighbor. Though Austen herself described Emma as "a heroine whom no one but myself will much like," she endowed her creation with enough charm to see her through her most egregious behavior, and the saving grace of being able to learn from her mistakes. By the end of the novel Harriet, Frank, and Jane are all properly accounted for, Emma is wiser (though certainly not sadder), and the reader has had the satisfaction of enjoying Jane Austen at the height of her powers. --Alix Wilber

Evelyn
Jane Austen
"Se si pensa a un virtuoso gentiluomo inglese settecentesco, composto, retto, onesto e impavido, una cosa è certa: non si pensa a Frederick Gower, irresistibile protagonista di Evelyn, racconto di straordinaria ironia nato dalla penna di una giovanissima Jane Austen. L'uomo, giunto per caso in uno dei villaggi più belli d'Inghilterra, Evelyn, abitato da famiglie di squisita gentilezza, dopo essersi invaghito della locandiera, riuscirà a ricevere denari, amore e proprietà grazie a un misto di sconcertante disinvoltura e inattaccabile cinismo. Un crescendo comico-grottesco che rompe, come sempre con Jane Austen, qualunque stereotipo della letteratura del '700. L'opera, grottesca e sarcastica, demolisce e fa il verso a romanzi rosa e paladini romantici. Frederick Gower, egoista ed egocentrico protagonista di Evelyn, ha tutte le caratteristiche dell'antieroe." (dall'introduzione)
Förnuft och känsla
Jane Austen
Prästdottern Jane Austen (1775-1817) tillhörde den burgna engelska medelklassen, en åtminstone utifrån sett trygg och ombonad värld med tydligt utstakade gränser. Även som författare rör hon sig helt inom denna miljö, som hon levandegör med hjälp av sin skarpa iakttagelseförmåga och inträngande människokännedom.
I Förnuft och känsla, första gången publicerad 1811, kretsar handlingen kring de två systrarna Elinors och Mariannes kärleksbesvär. Elinor representerar förnuftet, hon är sansad och förmår tygla sina varma känslor, medan Marianne är impulsiv och stundom låter sig föras bortom konventionernas råmärken. Det är, som alltid hos Jane Austen, familjelivet med dess behag och avigsidor som står i centrum. Med humor och ett milt satiriskt tonfall skildrar hon vardagen i en liten värld, där alla vet allt om alla och tillvaron är sammansatt av idel småsaker, som för de inblandade ändå tycks livsavgörande.
Fornuft og følelse
Jane Austen
Fornuft og følelse er en klassisk engelsk kærlighedsroman skrevet at Jane Austen. Ved deres fars død, må søstrene Elinor og Marianne Dashwood flytte fra deres herregård, og til en væsentlig mindre bolig med deres mor og lillesøster. De finder sig dog hurtigt tilrette i de nye omgivelser, og bliver en naturlig del af selskabet til den nærliggende herregårds selskaber. Her møder de to attraktive unge kvinder hver deres kærlighed, der dog viser sig noget problematisk for samtidens opfattelser af kærlighed, penge og prestige. Elinor og Marianne reagerer tydeligt forskelligt på deres kærlighedskvaler, og deres personlige karakteristika og holdninger viser sig vidt forskellige – Elinors fornuft undertrykker meget sine følelser for at holde på de traditionelle former for nobel og korrekt opførsel, mens Marianne fuldstændig ligeglad bærer sine følelser til offentlig skue uden at bekymre sig om, hvad andre tænker og mener om hende. Efter mange oplevelser finder de dog begge til sidst frem til, at en blanding af at vise sine følelser samtidig med at holde lidt på formerne faktisk har sine fordele i kærlighedens navn.
Jane Austen viser i Fornuft og følelser kærligheden blomstre i 1800-tallets England. Men det er også en samtidsroman, der giver et indblik i, hvordan man ser på kærlighed, følelser, penge, selskabsliv, omgang med de ”rigtige” familier og kulturel dannelse. Fornuft og følelse fremstår som et klassisk værk i engelsk litteratur.
God fornøjelse.

Gurur ve Önyargı
Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817): Sadece kırk iki yıllık, gözden uzak ve sade yaşantısına karşın yazdıklarıyla "roman tarihinin ilk büyük (ve sahici) kültü" olmayı başaran bir 19. yüzyıl romancısıdır. Sayısız TV ve sinema uyarlamalarının yanısıra tüm "satış / okunma" anketlerinin de gösterdiği üzere, yazarın 1813'de yayınlanan ikinci romanı Gurur ve Önyargı tüm zamanların en sevilen romanlarının başında gelir. Bu da, sanırız, Austen'in, dünyanın pek çok yerinde geleneklerin kadına biçtiği "en iyi gelecek" rolüyle kadınların aşklarını seçme hakkı arasındaki gerilimi "mizah, zeka ve sevecenlik"le yansıtmasından kaynaklanmaktadır.
I Watson
Jane Austen
Edizione integraleTraduzione di Daniela PaladiniLa Austen ha saputo ritrarre magistralmente la borghesia provinciale del Settecento inglese, con la sua ossessione per le buone maniere e la sua visione del matrimonio come aspirazione suprema.Ne I Watson (iniziato nel 1804, e rimasto incompiuto) questo sfondo assume tinte più cupe. La famiglia Watson si ritrova nella situazione – ben nota alla scrittrice, che dopo la morte del padre visse un periodo di ristrettezze economiche – di dover mantenere un certo decoro senza averne i mezzi. Trovare un buon partito, allora, sembra l’unica via di salvezza da un destino altrimenti segnato. Ma l’orgogliosa Emma, a differenza delle sorelle, vuole sottrarsi alla contesa per i pochi scapoli abbienti del paese.Jane Austennacque a Steventon (Hampshire) nel 1775. Condusse una vita tranquilla, tra gli affetti familiari, a Bath e poi a Chawton, sempre nell’Hampshire. Si spense nel 1817 a Winchester. Di Jane Austen la Newton Compton ha pubblicato Mansfield Park, Ragione e sentimento, Persuasione, Orgoglio e pregiudizio, L’abbazia di Northanger, Emma, Lady Susan, Sanditon e il volume unico Tutti i romanzi.

Järki ja tunteet
Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) on varakkaan englantilaisen keskiluokan kuvaaja. Säätytietoista ja tärkeilevää ympäristöään hän tarkkailee romaaneissaan satiirikon silmin huvittuneesti hymyillen.
Järki ja tunteet on kahden sisaruksen, järkevän Elinorin ja tunteellisen Mariannen, toisiinsa kietoutuneiden rakkaustarinoiden kuvaus. Taustana on vanhan hyvän ajan pikkuporvarillinen seurapiiri. Jane Austenin kerronnan huumori on tehnyt hänestä ”Englannin hilpeimmän klassikon”, jonka viisaat ja sydämelliset romaanit ovat mestaruudessaan ajattomia
Juicio y sentimiento
Jane Austen
«La agudeza y la ironía permean la narración desde las primeras páginas y por ello no hay lector que pueda resistirse al razonamiento, expuesto casi con sarcasmo en el segundo capítulo, por el que la cuñada de Elinor y Marianne convence a su marido para que reduzca la pensión de sus hermanastras a lo mínimo imprescindible. O a esa magistral simplicidad y sutileza con que retrata situaciones y paisajes, características que obligan a pensar en Jane Austen como una de las más grandes novelistas de todos los tiempos. Imprescindible desde esta obra primeriza.» Leah Bonnín, La tormenta en un vaso
«Ninguna de las dos tiene nada que decir; tú, porque no te comunicas, y yo, porque no escondo nada», le dice Marianne Dashwood a su hermana mayor Elinor en uno de los pasajes más célebres de Juicio y sentimiento (1811), la primera novela que consiguió publicar Jane Austen. Lo no dicho, el secreto deliberado o impuesto, la verdad oculta y la mentira, el pacto de silencio dictado por la lealtad o la piedad, son en efecto los temas principales de esta novela que traza un cuadro tan hilarante como patético de las desventuras de dos hermanas casaderas, hijas de la gentry pero apartadas –en su condición de mujeres- de la fortuna familiar.
Sus tropiezos en el camino del matrimonio, a veces empujadas por la mezquindad de sus propios parientes, las alegres presiones de sus vecinos o los mismos «principios» de su carácter y moral, las llevan a conocer todos los extremos que el «terror a la pobreza» o los estragos de una vida inútil pueden ocasionar en el destino de los hombres.Marianne, locuaz y ultrarromántica, y Elinor, prudente y reservada, componen una descompensada balanza de caracteres que finalmente se habrá de equilibrar. Ingeniosísima en su trama, cáustica en su pintura de ambientes y personajes, grave en su espíritu moral, ésta es la primera de las obras maestras de Jane Austen.
Juvenília
Jane Austen
À primeira vista, Jane Austen e Charlotte Brontë parecem radicalmente opostas. Austen representa a elegância e a proporção neoclássica, parodiando excessos literários e criticando as fraquezas humanas. Brontë, por sua vez, imprime em sua escrita toda a paixão e a extravagância do espírito romântico, não raro com forte influência da fantasia.
Numa época em que a literatura popular era considerada perigosa para a mente das jovens, a erudição precoce, a originalidade e a liberdade de espírito aproximam essas duas autoras. Ambas tinham como personagens centrais mulheres, sendo responsáveis pelos retratos mais marcantes de lealdade e dedicação feminina da literatura inglesa. E ambas constroem as suas heroínas como produtos do condicionamento feminino da época, cujas expectativas sociais eram muito restritas.
Austen e Brontë tiveram uma produção bastante fértil na juventude, reunida neste livro, a qual parece encontrar uma espécie de equilíbrio no conflito entre a moral individual e social, criando heroínas complexas que se destacam por sua coragem e independência.

La abadia de Northanger
Jane Austen
JANE AUSTEN (1775-1817) fue siempre muy modesta sobre su genio artistico pero se ha convertido en una de las figuras mas famosas respetadas y queridas de la literatura inglesa. Es tambien autora de Sentido y sensibilidad Emma Mansfield Park Orgullo y prejuicio y Persuasion.
La abadía de Northanger
Jane Austen
La primera novela de Jane Austen -publicada póstumamente en 1818-, cuenta la historia de Catherine Morland, una joven ávida lectora de novelas, que acabará interpretando a un personaje totalmente novelesco que se moverá entre intrigas y terribles secretos. Obra concebida como una sátira de la novela gótica, va sin embargo más allá de este propósito y ofrece una pintura social rica y mordaz y una trama ingeniosísima con sorpresas inesperadas.
L'abbazia di Northanger
Jane Austen
Clicca qui per l'edizione "Storie senza tempo".
Una storia d'amore sboccia nella cittadina termale inglese di Bath tra un giovane e benestante pastore anglicano e la protagonista del romanzo, Catherine Morland. Creduta una ricca ereditiera, Catherine viene invitata dal padre del fidanzato nella residenza di famiglia, l'ex-abbazia di Northanger. Suggestionata dal luogo e ancor più dalle intense letture di romanzi dell'orrore all'epoca in gran voga, la giovane protagonista, in un classico scambio tra fantasia e realtà,vive banali eventi quotidiani alterandoli alla luce di immaginarie atmosfere di terrore. Una serie di malintesi, frutto della sua fantasia sovreccitata, mette a repentaglio il rapporto sentimentale appena nato, pregiudicato anche dalla scoperta delle sue reali condizioni economiche. Celebrazione dei riti d' iniziazione sociale della borghesia inglese di provincia a cavallo tra Sette e Ottocento, quest'opera della Austin non si esaurisce nella storia di una contrastata passione, ma rappresenta una sottile parodia del romanzo sentimentale e soprattutto del romanzo gotico, che resta di grande attualità ancora oggi.
Lady Susan
Jane Austen
Beautiful, flirtatious, and recently widowed, Lady Susan Vernon seeks an advantageous second marriage for herself, while attempting to push her daughter into a dismal match. A magnificently crafted novel of Regency manners and mores that will delight Austen enthusiasts with its wit and elegant expression.
Lady Susan and Other Works
Jane Austen
(Librarian's note: An alternate cover edition to this ISBN is provided here)
This collection brings together Jane Austen’s earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen’s manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.

Lady Susan / Los Watson
Jane Austen
Este volumen reúne dos piezas de Jane Austen no publicadas durante su vida, y Los Watson, que no sólo confirman sus cualidades como novelista, sino que constituyen una lectura deliciosa por derecho propio.
En Lady Susan (escrita probablemente hacia 1793-1794), una viuda inteligente y bella, pero con pocos escrúpulos, pretende que su hija se case con un hombre al que detesta. Ella, por su parte, quiere a un tiempo atraer los favores del hermano de su cuñada y conservar a su antiguo amante. En Los Watson (1804), primera parte de una novela incompleta, la protagonista, una joven llamada a recibir una sustanciosa herencia pero despojada de ella, se debate entre un rico pretendiente y otro con menos medios económicos.
Todos los aficionados a las novelas de Jane Austen podrán apreciar en estas breves piezas la vitalidad y el ingenio característicos de la autora.

Lady Susan / Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen
About the Series "Jane Austen's Notable Works"Volume 1. Lady Susan / Northanger Abbey (Annotated). Annotations by Geraldine Edith Mitton: "Jane Austen and Her Times" with twenty-one illustrations. Volume 2. Sense and Sensibility / Pride and Prejudice (Illustrated) Illustrations by C.E. Brock (Charles Edmund Brock) from the 1895 Edition. Volume 3. Mansfield Park / Emma (Illustrated by C.E. Brock from the 1909 Edition)Volume 4. Persuasion (Illustrated by C.E. Brock from the 1909 Edition). Volume 1: Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. This early complete work, which the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the title character. Northanger Abbey was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed for publication, in 1803. However, it was not published until after her death in 1817, along with another novel of hers, Persuasion. Northanger Abbey is a satire of Gothic novels, which were quite popular at the time, in 1798-99. This coming-of-age story revolves around Catherine Morland, a young and na�ve "heroine," who entertains the reader on her journey to a better understanding of the world and those around her. In the course of the novel, she discovers that she differs from those other women who crave wealth or social acceptance, as instead she wishes only to have happiness supported by genuine morality. Geraldine Edith Mitton (14 October 1868 - 25 March 1955), pen name G. E. Mitton, was an English novelist, biographer, editor, and guide-book writer.
Lady Susan & The Watsons (AmazonClassics Edition)
Jane Austen
Lady Susan has just arrived uninvited at the country home of her brother-in-law, Charles, and his unwelcoming wife, Catherine. Susan’s reputation as an accomplished coquette precedes her, and Catherine will not allow her own brother, Reginald, to fall prey to Susan’s amorous games.
Despite warnings, the besotted young man finds himself falling—all to the conniving lady’s delight. But it’s the arrival of Susan’s rebellious sixteen-year-old daughter that sets this romantic roundelay spinning. Told through an exchange of letters, Jane Austen’s Lady Susan is a delicious epistolary novel of love lost and of love found. It shamelessly subverts all expectations of polite romance.
And in Austen’s unfinished work, The Watsons, a family reunion sparks the passionate pursuits of four sisters. Where it all leads is a literary guessing game.
Revised Previously published as Lady Susan, this edition of Lady Susan & The Watsons (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
Lady Susan, the Watsons, Sanditon
Jane Austen
Collecting three lesser-known works by one of the nineteenth century's greatest authors, Jane Austen's Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon is edited with an introduction by Margaret Drabble in Penguin Classics.
These three short works show Austen experimenting with a variety of different literary styles, from melodrama to satire, and exploring a range of social classes and settings. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. In contrast, The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine Emma Watson finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. Written in the last months of Austen's life, the uncompleted novel Sanditon, set in a newly established seaside resort, offers a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators, and shows an author contemplating a the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution with a mixture of scepticism and amusement.
Margaret Drabble's introduction examines these three works in the context of Jane Austen's major novels and her life, and discusses the social background of her fiction. This edition features a new chronology.
Lady Susan / The Watsons / Sanditon
Jane Austen
Together, these three works - one novel unpublished in her lifetime and two unfinished fragments - reveal Jane Austen's development as a great artist.
Lady Susan, with its wicked, beautiful, intelligent and energetic heroine, is a sparkling melodrama which takes its tone from the outspoken and robust eighteen century. Written later, and probably abandoned after her father's death, The Watsons is a tantalizing and highly delightful story whose vitality and optimism centre on the marital prospects of the Watson sisters in a small provincial town. Sanditon, Jane Austen's last fiction, is set in a seaside town and its themes concern the new speculative consumer society and foreshadow the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution.
Lejos de Cassandra
Jane Austen
Como una ventana indiscreta, las cartas de Jane Austen a su hermana Cassandra proporcionan una mirada fascinante sobre la vida de la autora. Relaciones amorosas, ocasiones mundanas, visitas a vecinos, salidas al teatro: minúsculos detalles cotidianos que nos desvelan la faceta más íntima del mundo de Austen y nos ayudan a reconstruir la persona- lidad de una de las autoras más impor- tantes de la historia de la literatura. En esta original selección epistolar, el lector encuentra una valiosa llave de acceso a la vida privada de Austen y al mismo tiempo un destello de su abrumador talento literario, aplicado aquí al delicado arte de escribir cartas, que, en palabras de la misma escritora, «consiste en saber expresar en el papel exactamente lo mismo que uno diría a la persona si estuviera hablando con ella».
Lesley Castle
Jane Austen
This inspired novella, with its outrageous cast of superficial characters, brilliantly showcases Jane Austen's comic genius. Presented here with A History of England and Catharine. As Miss Margaret Lesley and Miss Charlotte Lutterell divulge their innermost secrets through a series of letters, each reveals where her true priorities lie—if a bridegroom is fatally wounded the night before his wedding, the first concern must inexorably be for the luxurious food that will be laid to waste. As one plot gives way to the next, and as the heroines exchange wisdom on adultery, elopement, divorce, and remarriage, they increasingly fall prey to the merciless and lambasting sword of Jane Austen’s wit. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen is one of the world’s best-loved novelists.
Les Watson
Jane Austen
Emma Watson retourne vivre parmi les siens dans le Surrey après plusieurs années passées chez une tante fortunée. Rédigée en 1804, cette nouvelle rassemble tous les thèmes qui feront le succès de Jane Austen.
Lettere
Jane Austen
"La perfezione della vera arte epistolare consiste nell'esprimere su carta esattamente quello che si direbbe alla stessa persona a voce": è questa la ricetta che garantisce alle lettere di Jane Austen una freschezza inesauribile. La riflessione letteraria occupa uno spazio privilegiato, come pure la costante ricerca di uno stile limpido ed elegante anche nella cronaca quotidiana, ma non tarda a emergere il ritratto di una donna semplice, sensibile, affettuosa, e insieme vivace, curiosa, interessata ai vestiti, ai balli, ai pettegolezzi. A corredo di un'ampia selezione del suo epistolario, oltre settanta lettere indirizzate per lo più alla sorella Cassandra, un ricco apparato con approfondimenti sulla vita dell'autrice e alcuni documenti preziosi, come la famosa recensione di Walter Scott dopo l'uscita di Emma . Pagine intime, ma non minori, della scrittrice più emozionante che sia mai nata sotto il cielo d'Inghilterra.
Los Watson
Jane Austen
Emma Watson asiste a su primer baile. Su belleza e ingenuidad harán que todas las miradas se centren en ella. ¿Es eso la felicidad para una joven en la Inglaterra victoriana...? Con este pretexto, Jane Austen nos habla de nuevo de la condición de la mujer de su e´poca, de su limitado papel en la sociedad y de su falta de recursos propios.
Love and Freindship (and Other Early Works)
Jane Austen
When a noble youth arrives unannounced to request the hand of the matchless Laura, it seems their future is one of contentment and bliss - that is until his family learn of the marriage and, one by one, they reject the new bride. So begins a series of unspeakable events that Laura must confront and overcome, by way of the occasional fainting fit and bout of delirium.
Tragedy and comedy here go hand in hand as a very foolish young heroine is placed at the centre of Jane Austen's early satire on drawing-room society. Written as a series of letters, "Love and Friendship" is a delicious romp through the highs and lows of a young girl's lot in life and a precursor of Austen's later works of genius.
Love and Freindship: and Other Youthful Writings
Jane Austen
Austen’s hilarious early stories and sketches—complete with her delightfully quirky spelling habits—now collected in one gorgeous clothbound volumeJane Austen’s earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven-years-old, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work. But it is also a product of the times in which she grew up—dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mothers’ fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these highly spirited pieces. This edition includes all of Austen’s juvenilia, including her “History of England” and the novella Lady Susan, in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. With a title that captures a young Austen’s original idiosyncratic spelling habits and an introduction by Christine Alexander that shows how Austen was self-consciously fashioning herself as a writer from an early age, this is a must-have for any Austen lover.
Love and Freindship: Juvenilia and Other Short Stories (Collins Classics)
Jane Austen
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
Jane Austen is remembered for her six masterpieces of the Regency era: from the heroines of Elizabeth Bennett and Emma Woodhouse, to the villains of Mrs. Norris and John Willoughby. But these characters were not born overnight. They sprung from Austen’s experiences as a young girl, and many early iterations can be found in the earliest of her writing: her Juvenilia.
Austen was only a teenager when she wrote her Juvenilia. In the 'History of England', Austen champions (and laments) the great kings of England as 'a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian'; in ‘Lady Susan’, she writes a titular anti-heroine that schemes and cheats her way through high society; and in ‘Love and Freindship’, Austen paints a picture of a woman looking back on her extremely unfortunate life.
Writing on the cusp of literary greatness, Love and Freindship offers a fascinating – and often surprising – insight into a young Jane Austen.
Love and Friendship
Jane Austen

So begins the series of unspeakable events that Laura must confront and overcome, by way of the occasional fainting fit and bout of delirium.
Tragedy and comedy here go hand in hand as a very foolish young heroine is placed at the centre of Jane Austen's early satire on drawing-room society. Written as a series of letters, 'Love and Friendship' is a delicious romp through the highs and lows of a young girl's lot in life and a precursor of Austen's later works of genius. It is accompanied by 'The Three Sisters', another expertly crafted epistolary novel, and the brilliant 'A Collection of Letters' which has been described by Fay Weldon as 'five just about perfect short stories'.
Love and Friendship and Other Early Works
Jane Austen
A collection of Jane Austen's earliest writings, the "Juvenilia," not published in her lifetime. Immensely funny and remarkably sophisticated, their unerring accuracy has not diminished in 200 years. This captivating collection of the early works of Jane Austen uniquely displays the emerging talent of a brilliant and perceptive young woman. Completed before Austen was fifteen, the works are astonishing in their maturity. Blending the exuberance of youth with the sharp wit and devastating social criticism of her later novels, Love and Freindship is a collection not to be missed. 118 pp 5 x 8
Love and Friendship and Other Youthful Writings
Jane Austen
"Jane Austen's brilliant, hilarious - and often outrageous - early stories, sketches and pieces of nonsense.
Jane Austen's earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven years, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work: wit, acute insight into human folly, and a preoccupation with manners, morals and money. But it is also a product of the eighteenth century in which she grew up - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mother's fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these very funny pieces.

Taken together, they offer a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into the early Austen.
This major new edition is the first time Austen's juvenilia has appeared in Penguin Classics. Edited by Professor Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials.
Jane Austen, born in 1775, wrote many burlesques, parodies and other stories in her youth, including a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan. The novels published in her lifetime include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16, and was published, together with Northanger Abbey,posthumously in 1818. Austen died in Winchester on 18 July 1817.
Christine Alexander is Scientia Professor of English at the University of New South Wales and general editor of the Juvenilia Press. She has published extensively on the Brontës and has co-edited the first book on literary juvenilia, The Child Writer from Austen to Woolf (2005).
'Spirited, easy, full of fun, verging with freedom upon sheer nonsense ... At fifteen she had few illusions about other people and none about herself' - Virginia Woolf'
[Her] inspiration was the inspiration of Gargantua and of Pickwick; it was the gigantic inspiration of laughter' - G. K. Chesterton"
Love and Friendship: Annotated edition which includes Lesley Castle, A History of England, The Three Sisters, Catharine, A Collection of Letters and Lady Susan (Alma Classics)
Jane Austen
These inventive and entertaining pieces display the early sparkles of wit and imagination of Jane Austen's mature fiction. Written when she was only in her teens, they are by turns amusing, acerbic and occasionally downright silly.
'Love and Friendship' and 'Lesley Castle' provide parodies of the gentry and the fashionable idea of sensibility of the time. 'A History of England' supplies us with a lively chronicle of English monarchic history. Also included in this collection are 'The Three Sisters', 'Catharine', the series of vignettes known as 'A Collection of Letters' and 'Lady Susan', an epistolary story which was recently adapted for the cinema. Taken together, these pieces display all the wry humour, shrewd observation and satirical insight of Emma or Pride and Prejudice.
Mândrie şi prejudecată
Jane Austen
Elizabeth Bennet, una dintre cele cinci fiice ale unui gentleman din mediul rural al Angliei secolului al XIX-lea, se afla in fata unei dileme privind viitorul ei si al surorilor sale: in cazul eventualei morti a parintelui lor, neavand drept la mostenire, fetele trebuie sa-si asigure o existenta decenta, printr-o casatorie convenabila si sigura. Acest lucru devine o obsesie pentru mama lor, care se arata dispusa la orice compromisuri numai ca sa obtina garantia ca fetele vor avea un viitor stabil si sigur. O oportunitate neasteptata se iveste in clipa cand in vecinatate se intaleaza domnul Darcy, un gentleman cu maniere fara cusur si educatie aleasa, insa retras si taciturn si cu un dispret suveran fata de moravurile metehnele micii burghezii de provincie. Dupa conflicte mocnite si nenumarate momente de tensiune intre personaje, povestea se incheie cu un final fericit pentru domnisoara Elisabeth si familia ei. Pentru a-si publica romanul, Jane Austen i-a cedat drepturile de autor lui Thomas Egerton de la Whitehall, in schimbul sumei de 110 lire. Initial scriitoarea ceruse 150 de lire, dar solictarea i-a fost respinsa. Bucurandu-se de un succes urias la public, romanul i-a adus editorului incasari neasteptat de mari, care au facut-o pe autoare sa regrete faptul ca nu a solictat o remunerare pe baza unui procent din vanzari.
Mansfield Park
Jane Austen
Taken from the poverty of her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle's absence in Antigua, the Crawford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. Mansfield Park is considered Jane Austen's first mature work and, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social position and moral integrity, one of her most profound.
Mansfield Park: A Novel (Vintage Classics)
Jane Austen
Mansfield Park is the complex and controversial novel starring Fanny Price, the heroine through which the world-renowned author of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility views the social mores of her day and contemplates human nature itself.
"Never did any novelist make more use of an impeccable sense of human values."—Virginia Woolf
Mansfield Park encompasses not only Jane Austen’s great comedic gifts and her genius as a historian of the human animal, but her personal credo as well—her faith in a social order that combats chaos through civil grace, decency, and wit.
At the novel’s center is Fanny Price, the classic “poor cousin,” brought as a child to Mansfield Park by the rich Sir Thomas Bertram and his wife as an act of charity. Over time, Fanny comes to demonstrate forcibly those virtues Austen most modesty, firm principles, and a loving heart. As Fanny watches her cousins Maria and Julia cast aside their scruples in dangerous flirtations (and worse), and as she herself resolutely resists the advantages of marriage to the fascinating but morally unsteady Henry Crawford, her seeming austerity grows in appeal and makes clear to us why she was Austen’s own favorite among her heroines.

Niente donne perfette, per favore: Lettere di profonda superficialità
Jane Austen
La penna più ironica e sferzante dell’Ottocento inglese non si spuntava neanche nelle comunicazioni private. Jane Austen consegna all’epistolario tutta la sua saggia ironia, dilettandoci con l’educata sfrontatezza della sua prosa impareggiabile. Un volumetto spedibile che distilla lettera per lettera il concentrato di un’ineguagliata intelligenza pratica, sociale e letteraria, tracciando un preciso percorso di emancipazione e di consapevolezza artistica.
Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen
A wonderfully entertaining coming-of-age story, Northanger Abbey is often referred to as Jane Austen's "Gothic parody." Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers give the story an uncanny air, but one with a decidedly satirical twist.
The story's unlikely heroine is Catherine Morland, a remarkably innocent seventeen-year-old woman from a country parsonage. While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family friend, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, who invites her to visit his family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once there, Catherine, a great reader of Gothic thrillers, lets the shadowy atmosphere of the old mansion fill her mind with terrible suspicions. What is the mystery surrounding the death of Henry's mother? Is the family concealing a terrible secret within the elegant rooms of the Abbey? Can she trust Henry, or is he part of an evil conspiracy? Catherine finds dreadful portents in the most prosaic events, until Henry persuades her to see the peril in confusing life with art.
Executed with high-spirited gusto, Northanger Abbey is a lighthearted, yet unsentimental commentary on love and marriage.
Northanger Abbey: by Jane Austen Nortanger Northamger North Northranger special edition
Jane Austen
Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is one of ten children of a country clergyman. Although a tomboy in her childhood, by the age of 17 she is "in training for a heroine" and is excessively fond of reading Gothic novels, among which Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho is a favourite.Catherine is invited by the Allens (her wealthier neighbours in Fullerton) to accompany them to visit the town of Bath and partake in the winter season of balls, theatre and other social delights. Soon she is introduced to a clever young gentleman, Henry Tilney, with whom she dances and converses. Through Mrs. Allen's old schoolfriend Mrs. Thorpe, she meets her daughter Isabella, a vivacious and flirtatious young woman, and the two quickly become friends. Mrs. Thorpe's son, John is also a friend of Catherine's older brother, James, at Oxford where they are both students.The Thorpes are not happy about Catherine's friendship with the Tilneys, as they correctly perceive Henry as a rival for Catherine's affections, though Catherine is not at all interested in the crude John Thorpe. Catherine tries to maintain her friendships with both the Thorpes and the Tilneys, though John Thorpe continuously tries to sabotage her relationship with the Tilneys. This leads to several misunderstandings, which put Catherine in the awkward position of having to explain herself to the Tilneys.
Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon
Jane Austen
Northanger Abbey depicts the misadventures of Catherine Morland, young, ingenuous, and mettlesome, and an indefatigable reader of gothic novels. Their romantic excess and dark overstatement feed her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroines in isolated settings. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality, ordinary life takes a more sinister turn, and edginess and circumspection are reaffirmed alongside comedy and literary burlesque. Also including Austen's other short fictions, Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon, this valuable new edition shows her to be as innovative at the start of her career as at its close.

Orgulho e Preconceito
Jane Austen
O conflito entre casar por amor e casar por estatuto é um tema central de «Orgulho e preconceito». Elizabeth Bennet, filha de um senhor provincial, lida com as tensões sociais do casamento e rejeita os avanços de Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, um rico proprietário de terras aristocráticas.

Orgull i prejudici
Jane Austen
«És una veritat acceptada a tot arreu» que Orgull i prejudici és una de les millors novel·les de tots els temps. Publicada l’any 1813, el missatge de l’obra mestra de Jane Austen continua ben vigent avui dia: la importància d’escoltar el nostre propi desig i de no fer cas ni de convencions ni d’aparences. A través d’uns diàlegs magistrals i plens d’irona, i amb una galeria de personatges que van del grotesc al sublim, la gran novel·la de Jane Austen evoca un món en què l’esnobisme, la rigidesa dels costums i l’obsessió per la renda familiar semblen determinar les relacions entre els seus personatges ―un món que, amb intel·ligència i espontaneïtat Elizabeth Bennet serà capaç de fer a miques―. El volum compta amb un pròleg inèdit de Colm Tóibín i un epíleg del traductor, Yannick Garcia, en què explica les vicissituds i les tries a què s’ha hagut d’enfrontar durant la traducció d’aquest gran clàssic de la literatura universal.

Overtalelse
Jane Austen
Jane Austens klassiske fortælling Overtalelse forelægger nu i en nyoversættelse af Vibeke Houstrup.
For otte år siden forelskede 19-årige Anne Elliot sig i den fattige men ambitiøse søofficer, Frederick Wentworth. Dengang overtalte Annes snobbede familie hende til at bryde forlovelsen.
Da Anne atter møder Frederick Wentworth, er hun 27 år, ugift og er aldrig kommet sig over sin forelskelse. Han er i mellemtiden blevet velhavende og er stadig på udkig efter en hustru, men han har ikke tilgivet hende, at hun afviste ham dengang.
Overtalelse er en morsom og gribende klassiker om kærlighed og kvindesind. Det er den sidste roman, Jane Austen selv færdiggjorde, og den blev udgivet posthumt i 1818.
Övertalning
Jane Austen
Anne Elliott och kapten Frederick Wentworth möttes och förälskade sig när de var mycket unga, men skildes åt av beskäftiga släktingar. När de många år senare möts igen måste de ifrågasätta och övervinna de förutfattade meningar som en gång drev dem isär. Övertalning är Jane Austens sista roman. Den handlar om kärlek och äktenskap, och är berättad med den humor, insikt och ironi vi förväntar oss av Austen. Men liksom sin författare är hjältinnan mognare och tonen är mer allvarlig. Romanen pekar framåt mot romantiken.

Persuasion
Jane Austen
Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel. She began it soon after she had finished Emma, completing it in August 1816. She died, aged 41, in 1817; Persuasion was published in December that year (but dated 1818). Persuasion is linked to Northanger Abbey not only by the fact that the two books were originally bound up in one volume and published together, but also because both stories are set partly in Bath, a fashionable city with which Austen was well acquainted, having lived there from 1801 to 1805. Besides the theme of persuasion, the novel evokes other topics, such as the Royal Navy, in which two of Jane Austen's brothers ultimately rose to the rank of admiral. As in Northanger Abbey, the superficial social life of Bath-well known to Austen, who spent several relatively unhappy and unproductive years there-is portrayed extensively and serves as a setting for the second half of the book. In many respects Persuasion marks a break with Austen's previous works, both in the more biting, even irritable satire directed at some of the novel's characters and in the regretful, resigned outlook of its otherwise admirable heroine, Anne Elliot, in the first part of the story. Against this is set the energy and appeal of the Royal Navy, which symbolises for Anne and the reader the possibility of a more outgoing, engaged, and fulfilling life, and it is this worldview which triumphs for the most part at the end of the novel.
Persuasión
Jane Austen
Persuasión narra la historia de una mujer madura, sensible y menospreciada, que años después de haber rechazado al hombre que amaba, persuadida por un mal consejo, ve cómo este reaparece en su vida, rico y honorable pero aún despechado. Una mujer que quizá por primera vez en la historia de la novela debe luchar para que el amor le conceda una segunda oportunidad. Esta obra se considera una de las novelas más oscuras de Jane Austen, sin duda la más crítica con la sociedad de la época.
Esta edición incorpora una detallada cronología de la autora. Asimismo cuenta con una magnífica introducción de la crítica y académica Gilliam Beer, especialista en el campo de la novela victoriana. Sus incontestables estudios le valieron su nombramiento como doctora honoris causa en literatura por las universidades de Oxford y Harvard.

Pride and Predujice
Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr. Bennet living in Longbourn. Page 2 of a letter from Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra (11 June 1799) in which she first mentions Pride and Prejudice, using its working title First Impressions. (NLA) Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. Pride and Prejudice retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books." It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.

Pride & Predjudice
Jane Austen
‘He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention’. Pride and Prejudice , one of the most famous love stories of all time, has also proven itself as a treasured mainstay of the English literary canon. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity. Misconceptions and hasty judgements bring heartache and scandal, but eventually lead to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. It’s almost impossible to open Pride and Prejudice without feeling the pressure of so many readers having known and loved this novel already. Will you fail the test - or will you love it too? As a story that celebrates more unflinchingly than any of Austen’s other novels the happy meeting-of-true-minds, and one that has attracted the most fans over the centuries, Pride and Prejudice sets up an echo chamber of good feelings in which romantic love and the love of reading amplify each other.
Pride & Prejudice
Jane Austen
"VANITY, NOT LOVE, HAS BEEN MY FOLLY."
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a classic tale of love and values that unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late eighteenth century. The five Bennet sisters—including strong-willed Elizabeth and young Lydia—have all been raised by their mother to have one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Among the man's sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and—it would seem—snobbish Mr. Darcy, the battle of the sexes is joined.

Razão e sensibilidade
Jane Austen
Este primeiro romance de Jane Austen foi publicado em 1811 e logo recebeu reconhecimento do público. “Razão e Sensibilidade” é um livro onde as irmãs Elinor e Marianne representam esse dualidade, de maneira alternada, ao longo do livro. Por meio das experiências vividas pelas duas irmãs como: perda, amor e esperança. Austen nos oferece um excelente panorama da vida das mulheres de sua época. As irmãs vivem em uma sociedade completamente rígida e ambas tentam sobreviver a este mundo cheio de regras e injustiças. Tanto a sensível e sensata Elinor, quanto a romântica e impetuosa Marianne se vêem fadadas a aceitar um destino infeliz por não possuírem fortuna e conexões, obrigadas a viverem em um mundo dominado pelo dinheiro e pelo interesse. Ao longo da narrativa as duas personagens passam por um processo de aprendizagem, tentando mesclar a razão com os sentimentos em busca de um final feliz.
Razão e Sensibilidade; Orgulho e Preconceito; Persuasão
Jane Austen
O fascínio que os escritos de Jane Austen exercem, mais do que se manter, torna-se maior no curso do tempo. A obra desta aclamada escritora tem sido constantemente adaptada para o teatro, cinema e televisão; nos meios acadêmicos, tem gerado abundantes e fecundos estudos de sua dimensão estética, sociológica e histórica; em vários países, inclusive o Brasil, são-lhe dedicados ativos e entusiasmados fã-clubes; e, na web, há um número assombroso de páginas que remetem a Jane Austen.
Esta edição especial reúne Razão e Sensibilidade, Orgulho e Preconceito e Persuasão – três dos mais apreciados romances desta que é uma das mais lidas e amadas autoras inglesas em todo o mundo.
Razão e Sentimento
Jane Austen
Após a repentina morte do marido, a sra. Dashwood se vê sozinha com três jovens filhas, Elinor, Marianne e Margaret. Como se a tristeza já não fosse o bastante, elas precisam encontrar um lugarpara morar, pois a propriedade da família fora herdada pelo meio-irmão delas. Em meio a este turbilhão, Elinor e Marianne, as irmãs mais velhas, estão às voltas com aquilo que poderia lhes assegurar um futuro melhor: um bom casamento. Elinor, sensatamente, estima e gosta de um homem que só cresce aos seus olhos quando descobre por que ele não pode se casar com ela. Já Marianne, seguindo seu coração, se apaixona perdidamente por um homem de caráter duvidoso.
Razão e sentimento (1811) é o primeiro grande romance de Jane Austen e também seu primeiro livro publicado. Com a obra, a autora rompeu definitivamente com as histórias sentimentais de amor idealizado, revelando um mundo imperfeito, de personagens humanos em seus defeitos, porém não menos apaixonados e encantadores.
Rozważna i romantyczna
Jane Austen
Pisanie sprawia mi najwyższą przyjemność - zwierzała się Jane Austen, znana i lubiana autorka pogodnych, nieco ironicznych powieści z życia angielskiego ziemiaństwa. Tworzyła w bawialni rodzinnego domu, dzieląc się myślami z ukochaną siostrą. Wiele czytała, między innymi sentymentalne romanse gotyckie, dla których żywiła pełną rozbawienia wzgardę. Pod wpływem tych lektur powstała Rozważna i romantyczna, historia dwóch sióstr: pełnej wdzięku i zdrowego rozsądku Eleonory oraz romantycznej Marianny, która przez zamiłowanie do przygód nieomal ściąga na siebie hańbę i nieszczęście. Przedstawiając tak kontrastowo różne bohaterki, autorka ujawnia niepospolity zmysł komizmu i po raz kolejny daje wyraz przekonaniu, iż najwyższą zasadą w życiu młodej panny winien być umiar.
Sandition (Illustrated)
Jane Austen
*ILLUSTRATED EDITION Sanditon (1817) is an unfinished novel by the English writer Jane Austen. In January 1817, Austen began work on a new novel she called The Brothers, later titled Sanditon upon its first publication in 1925, and completed eleven chapters before stopping work in mid-March 1817, probably because her illness prevented her from continuing
Sanditon
Jane Austen
Charlotte Heywood is privileged to accompany Mr and Mrs Parker to their home in Sanditon – not least because, they assure her, it is soon to become the fashionable epicentre of society summers. Finding the town all but deserted, she is party to the machinations of her socially mobile hosts in their attempts to gather a respectable crowd, and Austen assembles a classic cast of characters of varying degrees of absurdity of sense.
The last of Austen’s fiction works, written in the year before her death, when she was gravely ill, Sanditon affords a glimpse of the ultimate creative powers and preoccupations of one of the greatest figures in English literature.
Sanditon and Other Stories
Jane Austen
Readers of Jane Austen’s six great novels are left hungering for more, and more there is: the marvelous unpublished manuscripts she left behind, collected here.Sanditon might have been Austen’s greatest novel had she lived to finish it. Its subject matter astonishes: here is Austen observing the birth pangs of the culture of commerce, as her country-bred heroine, a foolish baronet, a family of hypochondriacs, and a mysterious West Indian heiress collide against the background hum of real-estate development at a seaside resort.The Watsons, begun in 1804 but never completed, tells the story of a young woman who was raised by a rich aunt and who finds herself shipped back to the comparative poverty and social clumsiness of her own family.The novella Lady Susan is a miniature masterpiece, featuring Austen’s only villainous protagonist. Lady Susan’s subtle, single-minded, and ruthless pursuit of power makes the reader regret that Austen never again wrote a novel with a scheming widow for its heroine.The special joy of this collection lies in Austen’s juvenilia–tiny novels, the enchantingly funny Love and Freindship, comic fragments, and a (very) partial history of England–romping miniatures that she wrote in her teens. Their high spirits, hilarity, and control offer delicious proof that Austen was an artist “born, not made.”
Sanditon and The Watsons: Austen's Unfinished Novels
Jane Austen
One abandoned, one unfinished, these short works show Austen equally at home with romance and social change.
A widowed clergyman with four daughters must needs be in search of a husband or two, in The Watsons, as three badly behaved daughters search for husbands with the help of a recently reunited sister.
In Sanditon, the recently arrived Charlotte Heywood becomes enthralled with a new, commercial seaside resort's scandalous residents.
Typically touching, funny, charming and sharp.

Sanditon and The Watsons: The Unfinished Jane Austen
Jane Austen
Every author has projects which, for any number of reasons, are never completed. Jane Austen started work on these two novels, Sanditon and The Watsons, but completed neither.

Sanditon: Jane Austen's Last Novel Completed
Jane Austen
From the publisher: Sanditon was Jane Austen's last novel, bequeathed unfinished to her niece. This is its completion, praised for its delicacy, wit and discretion.
When Charlotte Heywood, eldest daughter of a family of fourteen, is invited to stay with Mr. and Mrs. Parker of Sanditon, she accepts with alacrity, intrigued to visit the once quiet town being promoted by Mr. Parker as the newly fashionable resort for sea-bathing.
As a guest of the Parkers, Charlotte is introduced to the full range of Sanditon polite society, from Lady Denham to her impoverished ward Clara and from the feckless Sidney Parker to his hypochondriac sisters. A heroine whose clear-sighted common sense is often at war with romance, she cannot help observing around her both folly and romance in many guises, but can she herself resist the attractions of the heart?

Sanditon, The Watsons, and Lady Susan
Jane Austen
Collected here are Jane Austen's three unfinished works; "Sanditon, The Watsons, and Lady Susan". "Sanditon" is the story of the idyllic modern seaside town and its inhabitants. "The Watsons" is the story of Mr. Watson, a widowed clergyman, and his two sons and four daughters. "Lady Susan", the most complete of the three, is an epistolary novel; the story of its title character, a woman who engages in affairs and searches for suitable husbands for herself and her young daughter. Also included here is a short essay on the "Plan of a Novel".
Selected Letters
Jane Austen
In one of her personal letters, Jane Austen wrote "Little Matters they are to be sure, but highly important." In fact, letter-writing was something of an addiction for young women of Jane Austen's time and in her social position, and Austen's letters have a freedom and familiarity that only
intimate writing can convey. Wiser than her critics, who were disappointed that her correspondence dwelt on gossip and the minutiae of everyday living, Austen understood the importance of "Little Matters," of the emotional and material details of individual lives shared with friends and family
through the medium of the letter. Ironic, acerbic, always entertaining, Jane Austen's letters are a fascinating record not only of her own day-to-day existence, but of the pleasures and frustrations experienced by women of her social class which are so central to her novels.
Vivien Jones's selection includes nearly two-thirds of Austen's surviving correspondence, and her lively introduction and notes set the novelist's most private writings in their wider cultural context.
Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780141439662
'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'
Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
This edition includes explanatory notes, textual variants between the first and second editions, and Tony Tanner's introduction to the original Penguin Classic edition.

Sense and Sensibilty
Jane Austen
Jane Austen seems to have been born with the comic precision and other-worldly insight she everywhere displays in Sense and Sensibility, her first published novel (1811), which, though revised later, was completed in 1797 at the age of twenty-two. This meticulously constructed story of two sisters with opposing temperaments and romantic inclinations exemplifies the distilled spirit of classicism in English literature.
Sense & Sensibility
Jane Austen
About the Book: Sense and Sensibility A wonderfully entertaining tale revolving around two starkly different sisters . . . When their father dies, leaving his entire estate to his firstwifes son, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, along with their youngestsister, and their mother, the second Mrs Dashwood, are leftpenniless and homeless. A kind and generous relative, however,offers them a small cottage to live in. As they all try to settle into their new lives, the wild andimpulsive Marianne goes through a whirlwind romance with thegallant and impetuous John Willoughby, and the quiet, reservedElinor develops an affection for Edward Ferrars, the brother-in-lawof her half-brother, John Dashwood. But love is never easy . . . Caught in the trials andtribulations of love, the two sisters-one flamboyant and the otherreticent-learn about love, happiness, and life as they try tograpple with their new circumstances. This is a moving story aboutthe emotions and feelings of two young girls trying to find theirway through life.

Sensibilidade e Bom Senso
Jane Austen
Sensibilidade e Bom Senso, o primeiro livro de Jane Austen, publicado em 1811, conta a alegre e satírica história de duas irmãs. A instintiva e apaixonada Marianne e a sensata e mundana Elinor.
Embora o coração impaciente de Marianne a deixe vulnerável aos males de amor, as qualidades opostas de Elinor também não a protegem dos problemas emocionais.
Sensibilidade e Bom Senso — um retrato psicológico e social da pequena-burguesia do século XVIII.
Sentido y sensibilidad

Sentido y sensibilidad fue la primera novela en publicarse de las siete que debemos al genio de Jane Austen. Son sus protagonistas las jóvenes hermanas Dashwood, quienes, desde caracteres contrapuestos, comparten el mismo afán por la búsqueda de la felicidad. Elinor, tranquila y paciente, confía en salvar con su discreción los obstáculos que impiden su relación con Edward Ferrars. Impetuosa y extravertida, Marianne, por el contrario, no duda en dejarse conquistar por el seductor Willoughby.

Spletkarica
Jane Austen
Jane Austen engleska spisateljica svojim romanima daje izričito suvremen karakter obrađujući živote običnih ljudi u svakodnevnim situacijama.
Spletkarica je kratak epistolarni roman napisan 1793. i 1794., ali objavljen tek 1871. godine. Upravo je u njemu vidljiv autoričin prijelaz na ozbiljnije teme, svojevrstan početak osobnog i književnog odrastanja.
Stolthed og fordom
Jane Austen
Da Elizabeth Bennet møder den rige ungkarl Fitzwilliam Darcy, synes hun, at han er både arrogant og indbildsk. Da hun også bliver klar over, at han har stukket en kæp i hjulet for hendes søster Janes kærlighed til hans ven Bingley, vokser hendes modvilje til direkte afsky.
Men hvad hun ikke ved, er, at mr. Darcy meget mod sin vilje er blevet betaget af hendes kønne øjne og kvikke tunge, og at denne betagelse er ved at udvikle sig til en meget alvorlig forelskelse.
Stolthed og fordom er en af verdenslitteraturens store kærlighedsromaner og en gnistrende satire over sladder og snobbethed i samtidens engelske middelklasse, hvor en mors eneste ambition var at få afsat sine giftefærdige døtre så fordelagtigt som muligt.
Stolthet och fördom
Jane Austen
Stolthet och fördom är en av de där riktigt mäktiga kärleksromanerna som man kan läsa gång på gång. Berättelsen om hur Elizabeth Bennet och den svåråtkomlige mr Darcy på kringliga vägar kantade av förvecklingar och högmod långsamt närmar sig varandra hör till litteraturhistoriens verkliga höjdpunkter. Med sitt rika och engagerande persongalleri, sina vackra miljöer och med sin subtila humor har romanen inspirerat och fängslat otaliga läsare världen över och fortsätter att göra så.
Stolz und Vorurteil
Jane Austen
"Glück in der Ehe ist allein eine Sache des Zufalls."
Mr und Mrs Bennet müssen nicht weniger als fünf Töchter möglichst vorteilhaft unter die Haube bringen. Die kluge und stolze Elizabeth erweist sich dabei als Problemfall. Um Aristokratenstolz und bürgerliches Vorurteil dreht sich ein wild wirbelndes Heiratskarussell.
The Annotated Emma
Jane Austen

Here is the complete text of the novel with more than 2,200 annotations on facing pages, including: -Explanations of historical context-Citations from Austen’s life, letters, and other writings-Definitions and clarifications-Literary comments and analysis-Maps of places in the novel-An introduction, bibliography, and detailed chronology of events-Nearly 200 informative illustrations Filled with fascinating information about everything from the social status of spinsters and illegitimate children to the shopping habits of fashionable ladies to English attitudes toward gypsies, David M.

The Annotated Mansfield Park
Jane Austen
An alternative cover can be found here.
Adopted into the household of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, Fanny Price grows up a meek outsider among her cousins in the unaccustomed elegance of Mansfield Park. Soon after Sir Thomas absents himself on estate business in Antigua (the family's investment in slavery and sugar is considered in the Introduction in a new, post-colonial light), Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive at Mansfield, bringing with them London glamour, and the seductive taste for flirtation and theatre that precipitates a crisis. While Mansfield Park appears in some ways to continue where Pride and Prejudice left off, it is, as Kathryn Sutherland shows in her illuminating Introduction, a much darker work, which challenges 'the very values (of tradition, stability, retirement and faithfulness) it appears to endorse'. This new edition provides an accurate text based, for the first time since its original publication, on the first edition of 1814.
The Annotated Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen
Northanger Abbey, was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed for publication, though she had previously made a start on Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. She also becomes friends with Eleanor Tilney, Henry's younger sister. Henry captivates her with his view on novels and his knowledge of history and the world. General Tilney (Henry and Eleanor's father) invites Catherine to visit their estate, Northanger Abbey, which, from her reading of Ann Radcliffe's Gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, she expects to be dark, ancient and full of Gothic horrors and fantastical mystery.

Shapard’s delightfully entertaining edition brings Austen’s novel of second chances vividly to life.

The Complete Novels
Jane Austen
Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, she paints vivid portraits of English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriage — marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not mere romances; ironic, comic and wise, they are masterly studies of the society Jane Austen observed. The seven novels in this volume contain some of the most brilliant, dazzling prose in the English language.

The History of England
Jane Austen
In these two forgotten gems of English literature, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens offer delightful, irreverent histories of their native land.
When she was only sixteen years old, Jane Austen composed her bitingly satirical History of England for performance in her family's drawingroom. A startling and precocious example of her celebrated wit—not to mention a brilliant social commentary—this lively piece sweeps rapidly across almost four centuries of British monarchy. In rambunctious and wickedly funny prose, Austen's critique spans from Henry IV to Charles I, from Richard III to Mary Queen of Scots, offering a fierce parody of the kind of biased history that young ladies of Austen's time were being forced to study. Reproduced here in its entirety, this is a rare, tantalizing look at the great novelist's budding talent, and an extraordinary bit of literary history that lay unpublished for more than 130 years.
Charles Dickens's A Child's History of England, by contrast, was written and published at the height of its author's considerable fame. A gory and dramatic account, full of villains and heroes, the essay was originally intended as a study-piece for his children, but in fact represented a sly, unconventional countertext to the more straitlaced historical canon. Dickens's exciting, flamboyant narrative is hugely evocative, both of the history he describes and of the time in which he himself was writing.
With an insightful introduction by bestselling historian David Starkey, Two Histories of England brings together, in a single, irresistible volume, these remarkable—and remarkably overlooked—literary treasures by two of the world's most beloved writers.
The History of England by a Partial, Prejudiced and Ignorant Historian (Penguin Archive)
Jane Austen
During his reign, Lord Cobham was burnt alive, but I forget what for.
In Jane Austen’s breezy and entirely biased telling of English history, Mary, Queen of Scots is a scandalously wronged victim, Elizabeth I is a wicked villain and most historical facts and dates are cheerfully disregarded. It is accompanied here by other riotous early pieces in which young women steal money, escape from prison, agree to marry two men at once, faint and repeatedly ‘run mad’.
The history of England: From the reign of Henry the 4th to the death of Charles the 1st
Jane Austen
'The History of England', written when Jane Austen was in her late teens, is a lively and somewhat disrespectful overview of the history of England's monarchy. She sees nothing reprehensible in Richard III, yet burns with contempt for Elizabeth I, and documents several reigns with breezy nonchalance.
This volume also contains 'Lesley Castle', a delightful and often hilarious correspondence detailing the mishaps and misapprehensions that befall five young ladies.
The Jane Austen Collection: An Audible Original Drama
Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility - narrated by Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
Austen introduces us to the Dashwood sisters who upon the death of their father are left with little money or status and without their family home. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her
Directed by Celia de Wolff. With Bessie Carter, Anya Chalotra, Josh Dylan, Robert Glenister, Paterson Joseph, Emma Mackey, Hattie Morahan, Carl Prekopp, Blake Ritson, Lesley Sharp, Fenella Woolgar, Nicolas Armfield, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Lily Cooper and Tom Glenister.
Pride and Prejudice - narrated by Claire Foy.
Pride and Prejudice is centred around the Bennet family, their five unmarried daughters and their mother’s desperation for at least one of them to make a wealthy match to save the family from destitution. When Charles Bingley moves into Netherfield, a nearby estate, it seems that Jane, the eldest daughter, may have found her match, but it also introduces our heroine Elizabeth to Bingley’s friend, the aloof Mr Darcy.
Directed by Nicolette Chin. With Tarrick Benham, Nicole Davis, Barnaby Edwards, Billie Fulford-Brown, Rebecca Front, Emma Gregory, Ferdinand Kingsley, Chris Lew Kum Hoi, Tim McInnerny, Heather Nicol, Sarah Ovens, Janet Prince, Jenny Rainsford, Jennifer Saayeng, Sam Stafford, Katy Sobey, Homer Todiwala, Patience Tomlinson and Simon Yadoo.
Mansfield Park - narrated by Billie Piper.
Adopted into the household of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, Fanny Price grows up a meek outsider among her cousins in the unaccustomed elegance of Mansfield Park. Soon after Sir Thomas absents himself on business, Mary Crawford and her brother, Henry, arrive at Mansfield, bringing with them London glamour and the seductive taste for flirtation and theatre that precipitates a crisis.
Directed by Tamsin Collison. With Matt Addis, Lucy Briers, James Corrigan, Scarlett Courtney, Rosalind Eleazar, Jennifer English, Emma Fielding, Ash Hunter, Joel MacCormack, Harry Myers, Esme Scarborough, Lucy Scott, Bert Seymour and Natalie Simpson.
Emma - narrated by Emma Thompson.
Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.
Directed by Katherine Thompson.
Isabella Inchbald played Emma Woodhouse, and Joseph Millson played George Knightley.

Northanger Abbey - narrated by Emma Thompson.
A coming-of-age tale for the young and naïve 17-year-old Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey takes a decidedly comical look at themes of class, family, love and literature. Revelling in the sensationalist - and extremely popular - Gothic fiction of her day, the story follows Catherine out of Bath to the lofty manor of the Tilneys, where her overactive imagination gets to work constructing an absurd and melodramatic explanation for the death of Mrs Tilney, which threatens to jeopardise her newly forged friendships.
Directed by Katherine Thompson.

Persuasion - narrated by Florence Pugh.
Anne Elliot, daughter of the snobbish Sir Walter Elliot, is woman of quiet charm and deep feelings. Eight years before our story begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.
Directed by Emma Hearn. With Annabel Baldwin, Michael Fox, Julian Wadham, Laure Stockley, Lizzie Stables, Oscar Batterham, Ewan Bailey, Samantha Béart, Andrew Wheildon-Dennis, Al Weaver, Tom Andrew, Molly Harris, Martha Mackintosh, Vineeta Rishi, Isabel Adomakoh Young and Sophie Aldred.
The Letters of Jane Austen
Jane Austen
Questa è la raccolta completa di lettere scritte dalla Austen (159) indirizzate quasi sempre alla sorella Cassandra nei brevi periodi in cui non vivevano insieme. Molte sono state in gran parte distrutte da quest'ultima dopo la morte di Jane; pertanto dobbiamo prendere le lettere per quello che sono, senza aspettarci di trovarvi espressioni di soggetti privati come sentimenti, religione, politica. Ma queste istantanee di vita quotidiana, una dopo l'altra, hanno il potere di introdurci un po' alla volta nel suo mondo privato. Potremo quindi essere d'accordo con Mr. A. C. Bradley che non trova le lettere deludenti perché “la Jane Austen che ha scritto i romanzi si trova in esse.” Come dice Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, nell'acuta introduzione che precede la raccolta, le lettere della Austen non ci parlano dei grandi eventi del mondo di quell'epoca: la rivoluzione francese, e la lotta per l'indipendenza americana. Al centro del ciclone, lei sta ferma, lucida e ironica al punto da sembrare cinica, impegnata ad osservare al microscopio gli eventi del suo piccolo mondo, in cui ritroviamo la materia che è stata usata per plasmare i suoi romanzi senza tempo, e da cui ha costruito in ogni romanzo quel lieto fine che alla sua vita è mancato. In coda alla raccolta, un'utile cronologia della vita della Austen. In copertina: acquarello di Cassandra Austen che ritrae Jane Austen, e la foto di una lettera originale. Traduzione di Silvia Cecchini.
The Watsons
Jane Austen
313 page paperback novel by Austin and Coates.
The Watsons, Lady Susan and Sanditon
Jane Austen
Austen fans will love these three lesser-known stories that display her genius for witty observations and shrewd characterization, and deal with familiar themes of love, folly, and social ambition among the English middle classes.
In The Watsons, Austen introduces us to Emma Watson and the choices she faces as a young woman in Georgian England. By contrast, Lady Susan describes a flirtatious and self-centered widow seeking an advantageous second marriage. In Sandition, Austen deftly explores the life of a range of characters in and up-an-coming seaside town.
In these tales you will find enthralling dilemmas, wicked machinations, great humour, and powerful emotions. Their astounding variety shows the sheer breath of Austen's writing and reveals her exceptional talent.
The Younger Sister: Volumes I-III
Jane Austen
• TRILOGY - All three volumes of 'The Younger Sister' published in 1850 are in this Kindle eBook by Jane Austen & her niece Catherine Anne Austen Hubback
The Younger Sister (1850) Volumes I, II & III
Jane Austen began writing "The Watsons" in about 1803 and is believed to have abandoned it after her father's death in 1805. It has five chapters, and is less than 18,000 words long, but it was later finished by Austen's niece, Catherine Hubback and published under the title "The Younger Sister" in the mid-19th century.
The plot revolves around Mr Watson, a widowed clergyman with two sons and four daughters. Young Emma has been brought up by a wealthy aunt but when her aunt contracts a foolish second marriage, Emma is obliged to return to her father's house. The Osbornes are a great titled family living near the Watsons.
About the Authors
Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels including Pride and Prejudice. Her plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security.
With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. Her biting irony, realism and social commentary have earned her great and historical importance.
Catherine Anne Hubback (7 July 1818 – 25 February 1877) was an English novelist, eighth child of Sir Francis Austen and niece of Jane Austen. She wrote to support herself and her three sons. She had copies of some of her aunt's unfinished works and, in 1850, remembering Austen's proposed plot, she wrote The Younger Sister, a completion of Jane Austen's The Watsons. She finished nine more novels and emigrated to California and later Gainesville, Prince William Co, VA.
Two Histories of England
Jane Austen
In these two forgotten gems of English literature, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens offer delightful, irreverent histories of their native land.When she was only sixteen years old, Jane Austen composed her bitingly satirical History of England for performance in her family's drawingroom. A startling and precocious example of her celebrated wit—not to mention a brilliant social commentary—this lively piece sweeps rapidly across almost four centuries of British monarchy. In rambunctious and wickedly funny prose, Austen's critique spans from Henry IV to Charles I, from Richard III to Mary Queen of Scots, offering a fierce parody of the kind of biased history that young ladies of Austen's time were being forced to study. Reproduced here in its entirety, this is a rare, tantalizing look at the great novelist's budding talent, and an extraordinary bit of literary history that lay unpublished for more than 130 years.Charles Dickens's A Child's History of England, by contrast, was written and published at the height of its author's considerable fame. A gory and dramatic account, full of villains and heroes, the essay was originally intended as a study-piece for his children, but in fact represented a sly, unconventional countertext to the more straitlaced historical canon.

Überredung
Jane Austen
Acht Jahre ist es her, dass sich Anne Elliot von ihrem Vater überreden ließ, den Heiratsantrag Frederick Wentworths zurückzuweisen. Fortan hat Anne freudlos auf dem Herrensitz ihres Vater gelebt, während aus Wentworth ein wohlhabender und weltgewandter Marineoffizier geworden ist. Als sich beide eines Tages wieder begegnen, beginnt eine zaghafte Annäherung, die in einer der originellsten Liebeserklärungen der Weltliteratur ihren Höhepunkt findet.
Uskollinen ystävänne: Kootut kertomukset
Jane Austen
Uskollinen ystävänne on kokoelma rakastetun Jane Austenin kirjenovelleja, joista suurin osa on suomalaisille lukijoille entuudestaan tuntemattomia. Austenin tarinat ovat hauskoja, jopa julmia irvaillessaan aikansa käsityksille ihmissuhteista ja avioliitosta. Kokoelman kertomuksissa äidit, tyttäret, sisaret ja ystävättäret käyvät kirjeenvaihtoa, joka usein käsittelee edullisten naimakauppojen solmimista - rakkaudesta on niihin liittyen yleensä turha puhua. Pinnan alla merkityksellisemmäksi nousevat kuitenkin naisten väliset suhteet: kateus, juonittelut sekä ystävyys.
Kokoelma sisältää esipuheen lisäksi pienoisromaanin Lady Susan ja novellit Rakkaus ja ystävyys, Kolme sisarta ja Lesleyn linna.
Includes: Lady Susan, and short stories Love and Freindship, Three Sisters, and Lesley Castle.
Uvjeravanje
Jane Austen
Jane Austen se u svojem posljednjem romanu, kao i u ranijima, koristi ljubavnom pričom za istraživanje i blagu satiru društvenih pretenzija i emocionalne zbunjenosti.
"Uvjeravanje" prati romantičnu vezu između Anne Elliot i mornaričkog časnika Fredericka Wenwortha. Bili su sretno zaručeni sve dok Anneina prijateljica lady Russel, nije uvjerila Annie da je on "nedostojan".
Sada, osam godina kasnije, Frederick se vraća kao imućni mornarički kapetan, a Annieina obitelj je na rubu stečaja. Još uvijek se vole, ali greške iz prošlosti mogle bi ih zauvijek rastaviti...
Moglo bi se činiti da Jane Austen slika na malenom platnu, ali njezini likovi donose cijeli raspon ljudskih strasti i moralne kompleksnosti, a autoričin ih velikodušni duh sve obdaruje razumijevanjem, suosjećanjem i nenadmašivim humorom.
Verstand und Gefühl
Jane Austen
"Und wenn ich nicht wenigstens eine von Ihnen gut verheiratet habe, bevor ich Sie wieder abreisen lasse, soll es meine Schuld nicht sein."
Zwei grundverschiedene Schwestern, die rationale Elinor und die impulsive Marianne bereiten Mutter Dashwood erhebliche Sorgen. Nach dem Tod des Vaters sind sie alles andere als eine gute Partie, aber unverhofft mangelt es weder an Bewerbern noch an überraschenden Turbulenzen.
Vintage Minis: Marriage
Jane Austen
Why do we set so much store by marriage? Jane Austen was fascinated by this question, subjecting it to her forensic eye and wonderfully ironic wit again and again. Here are stolen glances and nervous advances, meddling parents and self-important cousins, society whisperings and the fluttering hearts of young lovers. All of them have their own views and expectations of marriage, and Austen’s are the wisest of all.
Selected from the novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion by Jane Austen.

Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo
Jane Austen
"Englannin hilpein klassikko" Jane Austen (1775-1817) piirtää herkullisin vedoin näkyviin 1700-luvun loppupuolen pikkuporvarisperheen: sarkastista huumoria viljelevän, kohtaloonsa alistuneen isä Bennetin, hänen hössöttävän vaimonsa ja heidän viisi kaunista, naimaikäistä tytärtään. Kaiken keskustana on älykäs, nokkelasanainen, vastustamatonta viehätysvoimaa säteilevä Elizabeth Bennet, jolle rakkaus valmistaa todellisen yllätyksen. Kirjan pohjalta on tehty lumoava elokuva, jonka pääosissa nähdään mm. Keira Knightley ja Matthew MacFadyen.
