How often, in answer to my repeated intreaties that you would give my Daughter a regular detail of the Misfortunes and Adventures of your Life, have you said "No, my freind never will I comply with your request till I may be no longer in Danger of again experiencing such dreadful ones." Surely that time is now at hand. You are this day 55.

Anne Elliot is 27, and unmarried. Years ago, she fell in love with a man named Frederick Wentworth, a handsome young naval officer, but as he was poor, he was considered to be an unsuitable match, and Anne's friend, Lady Russell, convinced her to break the engagement. But now Anne runs into Frederick again. It's been eight long years, and Frederick is a captain and he's wealthy. He announces that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his eye. Any woman other than Anne, that is. After all, she rejected him and he refuses to forgive her. This was Jane Austen's final novel. It was published shortly after her death.

Something is rotten in the world of chess. Darla Martin is perfectly content to live in Denver, work at a library, and play chess every night. That's before she meets Mikhail, a mysterious and proud Russian grandmaster. And Maxwell, who is charming and handsome and speaks of dark things. And Fred, who warns her not to look into his eyes. Before she knows it, Darla's comfortable world is turned upside down.

Persuasion is one of the finest examples of Jane Austen's ability to inject a simple premise with emotion, expand it with depth of character, and polish it with charm. Persuasion is the also one of the most poignant of Austen's romances, perhaps as a result of being her final finished work. Anne Elliot's former fiancé has acquired wealth and prestige in the years which have passed since their last meeting, the lack of which had prompted the family meddling which ended their engagement. Now Anne must persuade the embittered Wentworth of her sincerity-once she is certain of it herself.

Hará cosa de treinta años, miss María Ward, de Huntingdon, con una dote de siete mil libras nada más, tuvo la buena fortuna de cautivar a sir Thomas Bertram, de Mansfield Park, condado de Northampton, viéndose así elevada al rango de baronesa, con todas las comodidades y consecuencias que entraña el disponer de una hermosa casa y una crecida renta. Todo Huntingdon se hizo lenguas de lo magníficamente bien que se casaba, y hasta su propio tío, el abogado, admitió que ella se encontraba en inferioridad por una diferencia de tres mil libras cuando menos, en relación con toda niña casadera que pudiera justamente aspirar a un partido como aquél. Tenía dos hermanas que bien podrían beneficiarse de su encumbramiento; y aquellos de sus conocidos que consideraban a miss Ward y a miss Frances tan hermosas como miss María no tenían reparos en predecirles un casamiento casi tan ventajoso como el suyo. Pero en el mundo no existen ciertamente tantos hombres de gran fortuna como lindas mujeres que los merezcan.

Sense and Sensibility (traduit en français par Raison et Sensibilité, Raison et Sentiments, ou encore Le Coeur et la Raison) est le premier roman publié de la femme de lettres anglaise Jane Austen. Il paraît en 1811 de façon anonyme puisqu'il était signé by a Lady ( [signé] par une dame ). En effet, sa position sociale interdisait à Jane Austen de signer de son nom un roman destiné à la vente, mais elle ne voulait pas cacher qu'il était l'oeuvre d'une femme. Le texte initial, écrit vers 1795, probablement sous forme épistolaire, avait pour titre le nom des deux héroïnes, Elinor et Marianne, comme beaucoup de romans écrits par des femmes au XVIIIe siècle, mais le choix du titre définitif, pour la publication en 1811, semble indiquer une volonté didactique. Marianne Dashwood, ardente et romanesque, qui croit passionnément pouvoir s'affranchir des convenances, s'affiche avec le séduisant Willoughby dont elle est tombée amoureuse, tandis que sa soeur aînée, la raisonnable Elinor, cache le tendre sentiment que lui inspire son beau-frère, Edward Ferrars. Marianne devra apprendre à surmonter la trahison des sentiments, dans la douleur et avec l'aide de sa soeur, qui, de son côté, refuse stoïquement de rêver et se dévoue à sa famille. Publié par Thomas Egerton, et à compte d'auteur, à l'automne 1811, le roman est accueilli plutôt favorablement et paraît en français dès 1815, dans une traduction-adaptation très libre par Isabelle de Montolieu, sous le titre Raison et Sensibilité, ou les Deux Manières d'aimer. La traduction de Sensibility en français semble poser problème, puisque les traductions modernes hésitent entre sentiments et coeur. Mais les adaptations, que ce soit celle pour le cinéma d'Ang Lee, sur un scénario d'Emma Thompson en 1995, ou celle pour la télévision d'Andrew Davies en 2008, sont connues en français sous le titre Raison et Sentiments.

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 early 19th-century England.

Catherine Morland loves reading Gothic novels, especially those by Ann Radcliffe. As Catherine is only seventeen and lacks life experience, she sees herself as a Gothic novel heroine. She is invited to visit wealthy neighbors in Bath, and to spend the winter attending balls, theatre and other social activities. She soon meets Henry Tilney and finds him to be more than a little appealing. Northanger Abbey has the romance and social commentary one expects from Jane Austen. The novel was published six months after her death.

Emma cuenta la historia de una inteligente y laboriosa joven empeñada en hacer de celestina de todas sus amistades. Cuando su institutriz, amiga y confidente decide contraer matrimonio, Emma Woodhouse se descubrirá sola, frente al vacío de su vida y con la penosa tarea de intentar que los demás lleven una vida tan perfecta como la suya. Pero todos sus esfuerzos de manipulación sentimental tan solo consiguen crear a su alrededor una telaraña de enredos, malentendidos y confusiones que pone a prueba su confianza en sí misma.

Love and Freindship [sic] is a juvenile story by Jane Austen, dated 1790. From the age of eleven until she was eighteen, Jane Austen wrote her tales in three notebooks. The notebooks still exist - one in the Bodleian Library; the other two in the British Museum. Written in epistolary form Love and Freindship is thought to be one of the tales she wrote for the amusement of her family. The installments, written as letters from the heroine Laura, to Marianne, the daughter of her friend, Isabel, "La Comtesse de Feuillide", may have come about as nightly readings by the young Jane in the Austen home. Love and Freindship is clearly a parody of romantic novels Austen read as a child. In form, it resembles a fairy tale as much as anything else, featuring wild coincidences and turns of fortune, but Austen is determined to lampoon the conventions of romantic stories, right down to the utter failure of romantic fainting spells, which always turn out badly for the female characters. In this story one can see the development of Austen's sharp wit and disdain for romantic sensibility, so characteristic of her later novels.

La famille Dashwood était établie depuis longtemps dans le Sussex. Son domaine était vaste, et sa résidence était à Norland Park, au centre de la propriété, où, depuis de nombreuses générations, elle avait vécu d'une façon si bienséante qu'elle s'était acquis d'une façon générale la bonne opinion de ses connaissances à la ronde. Le défunt propriétaire de ce domaine était un célibataire, qui vécut jusqu'à un âge fort avancé, et qui, pendant de nombreuses années de sa vie, eut en la personne de sa soeur une compagne et une maîtresse de maison constante. Mais la mort de celle-ci, qui eut lieu dix ans avant la sienne, produisit un grand changement dans son intérieur; car, pour suppléer à la perte de sa soeur, il invita et reçut chez lui la famille de son neveu, Mr. Henry Dashwood, l'héritier légal du domaine de Norland, et la personne à qui il se proposait de le léguer. Dans la compagnie de son neveu et de sa nièce, et de leurs enfants, les jours du vieux gentleman s'écoulèrent agréablement.

Los buenos amigos que tengo aquí me suplican, con el mayor cariño, que prolongue mi estancia con ellos, pero su carácter hospitalario y festivo les hace llevar una vida social demasiado animada para la situación que atravieso y mi estado mental actual. Espero con impaciencia el momento en que seré admitida en tu agradable retiro. Anhelo que tus queridos hijos me conozcan y me desviviré por despertarles gran interés en sus corazones. Necesitaré toda mi fortaleza de ánimo, puesto que pronto me separaré de mi hija.

El orgullo y la distancia social, la astucia y la hipocresía, los malentendidos y los juicios apresurados abocan a sus personajes al escándalo y al dolor, pero también a la comprensión, el conocimiento y el amor verdadero.

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A Lady". A work of romantic fiction, better known as a comedy of manners, Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797 and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak.

the novel was written between 1812 and 1814 at Chawton Cottage, and published in July 1814 by the same Mr. Egerton who had given to the world its two predecessors. When the novel reached a second edition, its publication was taken over by John Murray, who was also responsible for bringing out its successor, Emma. It is, perhaps, the most satirical of Austen's works.

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which 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 in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.
