Descriere The Complete Novels: (penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - Jane Austen

\n \n \n \nNow in Penguin Classics Deluxe: a treasure trove of Jane Austen's novels\n \nFew novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Here in one volume are her seven great novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, Austen vividly portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriage--marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not romances; ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly evocations of the society Jane Austen observed. This beautiful volume covers the literary career of one of England's finest prose stylists of any century.\n \n - \n \nA Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with French flaps and luxurious packaging\n \n - \nFeatures the definitive Penguin Classics texts recommended by the Jane Austen Society\n \n - \nNew introduction by bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club Karen Joy Fowler\n \n \n \nFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
