Die Welt von Jane Austen in einer Box vereint - Drei zeitlose Klassiker der britischen Literatur. Diese Sammlung enthält die deutschen Ausgaben der Romane „Überredung“, „Verstand und Gefühl“ und „Stolz und Vorurteil“. Austen greift tief in die Herzen ihrer Charaktere ein, beleuchtet ihre Stärken, Schwächen, Ängste und Leidenschaften mit feiner Ironie und scharfem Verstand. Sie entführt uns auf eine Reise durch die Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts mit ihren strengen Regeln, Klatschtratsch sowie den Konflikten zwischen Liebe, Vernunft und Stolz. Ein Muss für alle Freunde klassischer englischer Literatur.Jane Austen (1775-1817) gehört zu den bedeutendsten Schriftstellerinnen der britischen Literaturgeschichte. Ihre intelligenten Romanfiguren navigieren durch eine Welt strenger gesellschaftlicher Normen, wobei sie sich oft zwischen traditionellen Erwartungen und eigenem Streben nach Glück hin- und hergerissen fühlen. Ihre Bücher wie "Stolz Und Vorurteil“ oder "Emma“ sind weltbekannte Klassiker geworden.

La abadía de Northanger es una novela con dos núcleos; uno de ellos muestra el peligro de elegir amistades falsas, y el otro pone en discusión el riesgo de que los padres de familia decidan e impongan con quién han de casarse sus hijos e hijas. Libro de lectura fácil y entretenida en el cual Jane Austen lanza una crítica risueña al apego excesivo- sobre todo de las mujeres- hacia la novela gótica que ya hacía furor en esos tiempos, por lo cual la protagonista se decide a investigar cierto antiguo crimen y... no hay que revelar más de la historia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Catherine Morland is a young girl with a very active imagination. Her naivety and love of sensational novels lead her to approach the fashionable social scene in Bath and her stay at nearby Northanger Abbey with preconceptions that have embarrassing and entertaining consequences.

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. So begins Jane Austen's comic masterpiece Emma. In Emma, Austen's prose brilliantly elevates, in the words of Virginia Woolf, the trivialities of day-to-day existence, of parties, picnics, and country dances of early-nineteenth-century life in the English countryside to an unrivaled level of pleasure for the reader. At the center of this world is the inimitable Emma Woodhouse, a self-proclaimed matchmaker who, by the novel's conclusion, just may find herself the victim of her own best intentions. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly commissioned notes on the text. "From the Trade Paperback edition."

A beautiful, display-worthy collector's hardcover of one of the most beloved novels ever written, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. No novel in English has given more pleasure than Pride and Prejudice. Because it is one of the great works in our literature, critics in every generation reexamine and reinterpret it. But the rest of us simply fall in love with it--and with its wonderfully charming and intelligent heroine, Elizabeth Bennet. Pride and Prejudice captivates us not only with its romantic suspense but also by the fascinations of the world we visit in the novel's pages. The life of the English country gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century is made as real to us as our own, not only by Jane Austen's wit and feeling but by her subtle observation of the way people behave in society and how we are true or treacherous to each other and ourselves. "Jane Austen remains the most misunderstood of great English writers . . . Austen's is an extended, exploratory, dangerously subversive art, and is neither harmlessly decorative nor picturesquely provincial . . . [Irony] is the secret of the perfect self-sufficiency of Pride and Prejudice."--from the Introduction by Peter Conrad Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman's Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

Emma was the last novel that Jane Austen published while alive. In it, she tells us about the adventures of Emma Woodhouse, a young English woman raised in a wealthy family who not only does not have the slightest intention of getting married, but also insists on being a matchmaker for her circle of friends. In particular, for her protégé Harriet Smith. Emma's advice produces all kinds of misunderstandings and embarrassing situations, which translates into a fun work that, two centuries after its appearance, continues to delight readers.

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility is the story of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who struggle to achieve respectability, each in their own way in the face of the strict social conventions of early eighteenth-century England. The carefree childhood of the two young sisters comes to an abrupt end upon their father's death which leaves the family penniless and pushed out of the estate upon which they grew up. They move to a modest cottage on the property owned by a distant relative and there they experience love, romance, and heartbreak as they each attend to the serious business of achieving material security through marriage. Through their romantic relationships, we are able to see the difference in their approaches to life. While Elinor, the somewhat reserved eldest daughter embodies good sense, fine judgment and discretion. She has a keen sense of responsibility to her family and friends and she places their welfare and interests above her own. Marianne, the romantically inclined and eagerly expressive second daughter, follows her heart while totally disregarding what society thinks. Marianne falls in love much too quickly while the more intellectual Elinor sees her chances for a happy marriage fade when she discovers the man for whom she's fallen for is already engaged. This delightful comedy of manners remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as it ever was. The novel has been in continuous publication since 1811, and has many times been illustrated, excerpted, abridged, and adapted for stage, film, and television.
