You must be the best judge of your own happiness.Mr. Knightley is said to have been Jane Austen's favourite novel hero. And I must confess, he is mine too.

The only family member she feels a connection to is the younger Edmund, who is preparing for life in the clergy.When her uncle leaves to manage business in Antigua, Henry and Mary Crawford, siblings from the region, come to live at Mansfield Park as well. Their arrival begins a series of romantic engagements that strains the entire family¿s relationships.Mansfield Park is unusual in that despite it being a great public success, with the first edition selling out in six months and a second edition selling out two years later, it wasn¿t publicly reviewed until 1821, seven years after it was first published. Contemporary reviews were generally good, praising the novel¿s morality. Modern reviews are more mixed, making it one of Austen¿s more controversial works.

"Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen, one of the most celebrated authors in English literature and the mastermind behind classics such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility", is a perfect blend of satire, romance, and insightful social commentary. With "Northanger Abbey", Austen crafts an ingenious critique of Gothic fiction while showcasing her well-loved narrative flair.In this captivating novel, readers meet Catherine Morland, an imaginative and naive young woman whose world is largely shaped by the Gothic novels she devours. As Catherine gets an opportunity to visit the imposing and mysterious Northanger Abbey, her overactive imagination, fuelled by her reading habits, causes a series of misunderstandings and misinterpretations that lead to humorous yet enlightening incidents.Austen takes advantage of Catherine's naivety and whimsical fantasies to parody the popular Gothic novels of her time, offering readers a delightful satire that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. She brilliantly demonstrates how literature, especially the sensational and dramatic, can sway impressionable minds and skew their perception of reality.However, "Northanger Abbey" is not just a parody of Gothic fiction; it's also an astute exploration of the gender and class dynamics that were prevalent in 18th-century England. Through her nuanced depiction of Catherine's experiences and interactions, Austen provides sharp insights into the societal norms, expectations, and prejudices of her time."Northanger Abbey" remains a testament to Austen's ability to create timeless narratives that resonate even in the modern world. Whether you are a Jane Austen aficionado or someone venturing into her world for the first time, this novel's blend of humor, romance, and satire is bound to provide an engaging and enlightening reading experience.Keywords: Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey, Gothic Fiction, Satire, Romance, Social Commentary, Societal Norms, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility.

Hace mucho tiempo, el señor Johnson tenía unos cincuenta y tres años; doce meses más tarde cumplió cincuenta y cuatro, algo que le hizo tan feliz que decidió celebrar su siguiente cumpleaños con una mascarada para sus hijos y sus amigos. Con tal motivo, el día de su quincuagésimo cumpleaños se enviaron invitaciones a todos sus vecinos. Lo cierto es que sus conocidos en esa parte del mundo no eran demasiado numerosos, y se limitaban a Lady Williams, al señor y la señora Jones, a Charles Adams y a las tres señoritas Simpson, quienes componían el vecindario de Tramposería y a su vez la comitiva e la mascarada. Antes de ofrecer un relato de aquella noche, será mejor que haga una descripción a mis lectores de las personas y personajes que formaban el grupo de sus conocidos. El señor y la señora Jones eran ambos bastante altos y muy apasionados, si bien, por otra parte, tenían bastante buen carácter y eran personas de buena educación. Charles Adams era un joven amable, instruido y cautivador; de una belleza tan deslumbrante que solamente las águilas podían mirarle de frente. La señorita Simpson era una persona agradable, tanto por sus modales como por su disposición, siendo su única falta una ilimitada ambición. Su hermana Sukey era envidiosa, resentida y maliciosa. Su cuerpo era pequeño, gordo y desagradable. Cecilia (la más pequeña) era muy bonita pero demasiado afectada para resultar agradable.
