Jane Austen, página 5 de 93

De las trece cartas que Kathryn Sutherland ha seleccionado en este volumen, doce se hallan actualmente en la Casa Museo Jane Austen de Chawton, la última residencia de la escritora; la decimotercera, escrita poco despues de su muerte en 1817 por su hermana Cassandra a su sobrina Fanny, pertenece a la Jane Austen Society. La correspondencia empieza cuando Jane Austen, a los veinticinco años, se muda con su familia a Bath y prosigue con visitas a Londres y su instalacion definitiva en un cottage en Chawton (Hampshire), propiedad de su hermano James. Las cartas de Chawton nos permiten acceder, en este volumen bellamente ilustrado, no solo a las circunstancias de su vida cotidiana sino tambien a sus ideas e inquietudes literarias.

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.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Emma fue la última novela que Jane Austen publicó en vida. En ella nos cuenta las peripecias de Emma Woodhouse, una joven inglesa criada en el seno de una familia acomodada que no sólo no tiene la menor intencion de contraer matrimonio, sino que ademas se empeña en hacer de casamentera para su circulo de amigas, para desgracia de estas, y en particular para su protegida Harriet Smith. Los consejos de Emma producen todo tipo de equivocos y situaciones embarazosas, lo que se traduce en una obra divertida que, dos siglos despues de su aparicion, sigue deleitando a loslectores.

Jane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her unique witMarianne 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 also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.

Jane Austen es una de las autoras más representativas del romanticismo literario inglés. Su fina ironía y su querencia por el detalle hacen especialmente disfrutables sus obras. En esta ocasión, las desventuras de las hermanas Elinor, Marianne y Margaret Dashwood se convierten, gracias a la mirada perspicaz y cinica de Austen, en un retrato perfecto, tan sentido como sensible, de la vida en la campiña inglesa y del rol de la mujer en la sociedad britanica de comienzos del siglo XIX.

Catherine Morland, seventeen, is spending the summer in Bath. It is a new world for Catherine, who has never left her home village before. There are dances, visits to the theatre, her new friends Isabella Thorpe and Eleanor Tilney ... and Eleanor's brother Henry, who is tall and funny, and who she likes at once.For Catherine, who reads novels, life is about love and adventure. So when she is invited to Northanger Abbey, the Tilney's home, it seems full of mystery to her. But soon Catherine begins to learn a few lessons about real life - about who her friends are, and why, for some people, money and a place in society are more important than love...

Arran de la mort sobtada del pare de família, les germanes Dashwood veuen profundament alterada la seva vida, fins aleshores alegre i despreocupada. Tot d’una queden totalment desemparades i han de m
