Inhaltsangabe

The Complete Works of Jane Austen includes all six novels, and Austen's shorter works. Volume One includes Sense and Sensibility, Pride and prejudice, and Mansfield Park. Volume Two includes Austen's novels Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion as well as her shoter works, Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sandition, and the complete Juvenilia.

Sense and Sensibility - When the Dashwood sisters move into a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, they are torn between passion and reason. Elinor approaches life in a rational manner, while Marianne is wildly romantic. The story shows how the two sisters must learn from each other as they experience love, romance, and heartbreak.

Pride and Prejudice - 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. The story shows how Elizabeth deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency.

Mansfield Park - Mansfield Park begins with the marriage of three sisters. The first marries a wealthy baronet, the second marries a clergyman, and the third marries a naval lieutenant. When the lieutenant is wounded in battle, his eldest daughter Fanny is sent to live with the wealthy baronet at Mansfield Park. At Mansfield Park, Fanny grows up with her four older cousins, but is treated as an unwanted relation. Only Henry, treats her with kindness and respect. When the Crawford's move to the area, a comedy of errors develops involving betrayal, adultery, social ruin, and ruined friendships.

This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist. She wrote many books of romantic fiction about the gentry. Her works made her one of the most famous and beloved writers in English literature. She is one of the great masters of the English novel. Austen's works criticized sentimental novels in the late 18th century, and are part of the change to nineteenth- realism. She wrote about typical people in everyday life. This gave the English novel its first distinctly modern character. Austen's stories are often comic, but they also show how women depended on marriage for social standing and economic security. Her works are also about moral problems. Jane Austen was very modest about her own genius. She once famously described her work as "the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a brush, as produces little effect after much labor." She had been working on a new novel, Sanditon, but she died before she could finish it. She is now a well known great writer.
