Northanger Abbey

Beschreibung

Catherine Morland is about to tumble headfirst into a world far stranger than any novel she's ever read. With a mind full of gothic tales and little real-life experience, she eagerly leaps into the drama of high society, where naivete and imagination make for a dangerous mix. To make things worse, a rumor is spreading that she's destined to inherit a fortune! But this isn't your mom's stuffy old novel-it's bursting with sass, juicy scandals, and a slow-burn romance that's just as irresistible today as it was two hundred years ago. Northanger Abbey, arguably Jane Austen at her most unfiltered, is a classic that feels refreshingly modern and utterly delightful.

Autor

Jane Austen (1775-1817) One of the world's most famous and prolific women authors, Jane Austen was born in Hampshire, England. Austen remains a dearly loved novelist, thanks to her social commentary on the British gentry at the time. She extensively wrote about women and their dependence on men, the said and unsaid rules of patriarchy, and what they had to do in order to either gain or retain their social standing. Crafted with classic humour, wit, and sarcasm, Austen's writing transcends the barriers of age and time. Jane Austen started writing at a young age for the amusement of those around her, as gifts for loved ones - and, interestingly, as a way of catharsis. Given that the society at the time viewed women in restricted social roles - as merely mothers and wives - Austen published her books anonymously. The truth was only made public by her brother, Henry, after her death in 1817. Of her published novels - some of which include Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey - Pride and Prejudice remains one of the best-loved works among readers to this day. She also wrote an adapted play, titled Sir Charles Grandison, and a satire called Plan of a Novel in addition to multiple poems, letters, and prayers during her lifetime.
