The Complete Novels of Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility / Pride and Prejudice / Mansfield Park / Emma / Northanger Abbey / Persuasion (Leather-bound Classics)

Product Information

Der Inhalt spiegelt die damalige Epoche wider und erzählt in einem unaufgeregten Stil romantische Geschichten von starken Frauen. But I have so many more books I want to read/listen to that this just isn’t going to happen any time soon.

Ich glaube, kaum eine Autorin hält sich mit ihren Werken so in den Köpfen der Leser*innen, wie Jane Austen. Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish.

She had read it, in an anxious glance or two on his side; but why he should talk so much nonsense, unless he could do no better, was unintelligible. Emma is the one that was the freshest in my mind since I read it for the first time at the end of last year. I'm more surprised than you are but this novella is now my favorite piece of writing that Jane ever put to paper. It reminds me of reading early Shakespeare; it shows promise of what is to come later but on its own it doesn't justify the author's reputation. When it comes to classics, Jane Austen is one of my favourite authors for reasons too long to share here.

Roman aus dem Schuber (ich meine, es war "Verstand und Gefühl") habe ich noch während meines Studiums gelesen (und das ist inzwischen fast 3 Jahre her 👌😅). Austen's works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century realism.I always find the Oxford World Classics editions very informative if you are inclined to learn more about the historical background of a book. However, an offer of marriage is made to her by someone she detests and the offer is forced upon her by her uncle as a fit match, her ward duly reminding her in so many words of her previous circumstances.
