Ésta es la última novela de la escritora inglesa Jane Austen que falleció en 1817, probablemente afectada por la enfermedad de Addison. En ella nos presenta a Anne (Ana), hija de Sir Walter Elliot, hombre vanidoso y demasiado preocupado de las apariencias como para ver lo que sucede a su alrededor.

En medio de estas personas se encuentra Anne, cuya edad "adecuada" para contraer matrimonio ha pasado, de belleza y plenitud perdida.

The French Revolution comes to vivid life in Charles Dickenss famous novel about the best of times and the worst of times...The storming of the Bastillethe death carts with their doomed human cargothe swift drop of the guillotine bladethis is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures in his famous work A Tale of Two Cities. With dramatic eloquence, he brings to life a time of terror and treason, a starving people rising in frenzy and hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent regime.

The letters included in this series comprise about three quarters of the collection in two volumes published in 1884 by her great-nephew Lord Brabourne. The lightness, almost friskiness, of their tone cannot fail to strike the reader. Modern letters written by women are filled more or less with hints and queries; questionings as to the why and the wherefore occur; allusions to the various "fads" of the day, literary or artistic,- Ibsen, Tolstoi, Browning, Esoteric Buddhism, Wagners Music, the Mind Cure, Social Science, Causes and Reforms. But Cowper and Crabbe were the poetical sensations in Miss Austens time, Scott and Byron its phenomenal novelties; it took months to get most books printed, and years to persuade anybody to read them. Furthermore the letters, in all probability, are carefully chosen to reveal only the more superficial side of their writer.
