Jane Austens first novelpublished posthumously in 1818tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austens fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.Northanger Abbey is a coming-of-age novel and a satire of Gothic novels written by Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey was actually the first finished novel that Jane Austen wrote.The story revolves around Catherine Morland, the young and naive "heroine", and her journey to a better understanding of herself and the world around her.When she is invited by her wealthy neighbors, the Fullertons, to accompany them to the spa town of Bath she experiences her first taste of the fashionable upper class society of England. While there she meets the clever young gentleman, Henry Tilney, his sister Eleanor, and their father, the imposing General Tilney. The Tilneys invite Catherine to come stay with them at their estate, the titular Northanger Abbey. Catherines naive over-active imagination quickly leads to embarrassment when she infers some sinister circumstances regarding the lack of emotion that General Tilney shows for the loss of his deceased wife. Eventually she realizes that real life is not at all like that of a Gothic novel. Noted for the insight it gives to Austens one opinions of the literature of her day.Northanger Abbey is both a satirical parody of the gothic romance novel and the story of a young girls maturation into womanhood.

La familia Dashwood llevaba largo tiempo establecida en Sussex. Su propiedad era grande y en el centro de ella se encontraba su residencia, Norland Park, donde, la manera digna en la que habían vivido por muchas generaciones, les habia granjeado el respeto de sus vecinos. El ultimo dueño de esta propiedad era un hombre soltero que alcanzo una avanzada edad, y que por muchos años de su vida tuvo en su hermana una fiel compañera y un ama de casa. Pero la muerte de ella, ocurrida diez años antes que la suya, causo una gran alteracion en la casa, pues para suplir su perdida, invito y acogio en su hogar a la familia de su sobrino, el señor Henry Dashwood, el heredero legitimo de la finca Norland y la persona a quien tenia planeado dejarsela. Los ultimos dias del anciano caballero fueron agradables en compañia de su sobrino, la esposa de este y los hijos de ambos. Su apego por ellos aumento. La constante atencion del señor y la señora Dashwood a sus deseos, que no provenia del mero interes sino de la bondad de su corazon, le dieron toda la comodidad que su edad necesitaba, y la alegria de los niños añadian deleite a su existencia.

La señora Bennet ha criado a sus cinco hijas con el único deseo de encontrar marido. La llegada al vecindario, junto con algunas amistades, del rico y soltero Charles Bingley despierta el interés de las hermanas Bennet y de las familias vecinas, que veran una excelente oportunidad para cumplir su proposito. Elizabeth, una de las hijas de los Bennet, empezara una singular relacion con Darcy, uno de los amigos de Bingley, que desencadenara esta historia de orgullo y prejuicios a traves de los que muy trabajosamente se ira abriendo paso el amor.Orgullo y prejuicio narra las aventuras y desventuras amorosas de las hermanas Bennet, centrandose en el personaje de Elizabeth,por medio de las que la autora nos presenta con comicidad la sociedad de su tiempo y con la figura de la protagonista coloca a la mujer en un lugar mas prominente que el que le correspondia en su epoca. Se trata ademas, de un vivido retrato y una incisiva critica social de la Inglaterra victoriana, con su tajante diferencia entre clases sociales, la exagerada supremacia masculina, la falta de independencia de la mujer, la brutal presion del matrimonio y las dificultades economicas y sociales a las que tiene que hacer frente el amor entre dos jovenes.

Este ebook presenta "Colección integral de Jane Austen (Emma, Lady Susan, Mansfield Park, Orgullo y Prejuicio, Persuasión, Sentido y Sensibilidad, La abadía de Northanger)" con un sumario dinámico y detallado". Este volumen contiene siete obras esenciales de Jane Austen. Las siete novelas que escribio conviene agruparlas en dos periodos diferentes. Durante el primero vieron la luz una serie de titulos, algunos de los cuales tardaron mas de quince años en ser editados. Este fue el caso de Orgullo y prejuicio (Pride and prejudice), considerada la mejor de sus novelas, cuya redaccion emprendio el año 1796, aunque no se publicaria hasta 1813. En ella, Austen relata la historia de las cinco hermanas Bennet y las tribulaciones de sus respectivos amorios. Tambien es de este periodo Sentido y sensibilidad (Sense and sensibility, 1811), centrada otra vez en la historia de dos hermanas y sus asuntos amorosos, caracterizada por su realismo y tambien su novela corta Lady Susan. Lady Susan, posiblemente escrita en 1794, fue publicada en 1871 en forma postuma. Su segunda etapa creativa empezo en 1811, y marco su recuperacion tras doce años de esterilidad creadora. El parque de Mansfield (Mansfield Park, 1814), Emma (1816) y Persuasion (Persuasion, publicada postumamente) son titulos que corresponden a este momento, y todos ellos narran los enredos romanticos de sus tres heroinas, tratados con gracia y profundidad. Tabla de contenidos: Emma Lady Susan Mansfield Park Orgullo y Prejuicio Persuasion Sentido y Sensibilidad La abadia de Northanger Jane Austen (1775 1817) fue una destacada novelista inglesa cuya ficcion satirica, ingeniosa y elegantemente estructurada señalan la transicion en la literatura inglesa del neoclasicismo del siglo XVIII al romanticismo del siglo XIX.

Una historia que sigue al personaje principal, Elizabeth Bennet, a través de cuestiones de modales, moralidad, estatus y matrimonio. Viviendo en la campiña inglesa y sin grandes recursos, su padre debe casar a sus cinco exuberantes hijas.

MANSFIELD PARK, considerado o mais ambicioso romance de Jane Austen, foi escrito entre os anos de 1811 e 1813 e publicado anonimamente, como todas as demais obras da autora, em 1814. É provavelmente o menos romantico e o mais pragmatico dos romances de Austen, como seu abrupto e bastante prosaico fim demostra. Foi o primeiro dos romances da autora totalmente concebido e escrito em Chawton - sua ultima morada, onde viveu ate sua morte em 1817 - e caracteriza-se por apresentar um aspecto muito diferente dos demais romances predecessores. Para alguns leitores, MANSFIELD PARK e o romance mais gratificante e mais substancial ja escrito por Austen, enquanto que outros o veem com certa reserva, devido a sagacidade e humor presentes em seus 48 capitulos. MANSFIELD PARK e um romance que enfoca as maneiras com que as pessoas tentam lidar uns com os outros. Mansfield Park deve ser lido sem preconceitos ou suposiçes, que na verdade e um dos temas principais do livro. Quase todos, em Mansfield Park, passam ao longo de toda a trama fazendo suposiçes erradas sobre outras pessoas. Ninguem parece realmente entender uns aos outros e poucos so aqueles que sequer fazem um esforço para tentar entender os demais. Nesse sentido, so tipicos personagens criados por Austen: reais, inclassificaveis, dificeis, contraditorios e confusos. Antagonistas agem mais como herois, heroinas so, por vezes, antipaticas, e viles, de repente, se transformam em protagonistas. Assim, escandalos surgem em MANSFIELD PARK em todos os niveis: o pecado; as tentaçes para o pecado; as obstruçes interpessoais; as impropriedades que chocam, excitam e produzem fofocas dentro da esfera em que vivem os personagens; a desgraça e a queda publicas; a vitimizaço e a acusaço profetica; a expulso e o sacrificio empreendidos pelo mau gosto da midia.

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are two sisters with opposite characters. Elinor, the eldest, is 19 and represents the part of "reason" indicated by the title. Marianne is 17 years old and instead represents the "feeling". Elinor and Marianne are the daughters of Mr. Dashwoods second marriage. Besides them there is also a younger sister, Margaret, and their older brother, John, who was born from his first marriage. When the father dies, the family estate passes, as usual, to the first son, John, so the Dashwood women find themselves in a very precarious financial situation.

Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennets attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of thesethe haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcyirks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austens radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.
