Austen, Jane

Pride and prejudice / Jane Austen ; [abridgement by Linda Jennings]

London : Puffin, 2018

Abstract: Il romanzo ha come temi principali l'orgoglio di classe del signor Darcy e il pregiudizio di Elizabeth Bennet nei confronti di quest'ultimo. La trama si concentra sulle vicende della famiglia Bennet, composta dai signori Bennet e dalle loro cinque figlie: Jane, Elizabeth (per gli amici Lizzy), Mary, Catherine (detta anche Kitty) e Lydia. L'obiettivo rimasto alla signora Bennet, vista la mancanza di un figlio maschio che possa ereditare la loro tenuta di Longbourn nell'Hertfordshire, è quello di vedere sposata almeno una delle sue figlie prima possibile

Austen, Jane

Love and freindship and other youthful writings / Jane Austen ; edited and with an introduction and notes by Christine Alexander

London : Penguin classics, 2014

Abstract: Austen's hilarious early stories and sketches-complete with her delightfully quirky spelling habits-now collected in one gorgeous clothbound volume, including Lady Susan, the basis for Whit Stillman's feature film Love and Friendship starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloë SevignyJane Austen's earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven-years-old, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work. But it is also a product of the times in which she grew up-dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mothers' fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these highly spirited pieces. This edition includes all of Austen's juvenilia, including her "History of England" and the novella Lady Susan, in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. With a title that captures a young Austen's original idiosyncratic spelling habits and an introduction by Christine Alexander that shows how Austen was self-consciously fashioning herself as a writer from an early age, this is a must-have for any Austen lover

Emma / Jane Austen

London : Penguin books, 2012

Abstract: Jane Austen's sparkling and flawless comic masterpiece is the story of Emma Woodhouse- rich, charming, spoilt, obsessed with matchmaking and blind to everyone's faults - including her own. Although Austen described Emma as a character 'whom no one but myself will much like', her wit and her gradual self-realization make her one of the author's most remarkable, believably imperfect heroines.

Sense and sensibility / Jane Austen

London : Arcturus, 2010

Abstract: Two sisters of opposing temperaments but who share the pangs of tragic love provide the subjects for Sense and Sensibility. Elinor, practical and conventional, is the epitome of sense; Marianne, emotional and sentimental, the embodiment of sensibility. To each comes the sorrow of unhappy love: Elinor desires a man who is promised to another while Marianne loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her. Their mutual suffering brings a closer understanding between the two sisters--and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility gives way to sense. Now an award-winning movie written by Emma Thompson.

Emma / Jane Austen ; edited with an introduction and notes by Fiona Stafford

London : Penguin classics, 2009

Abstract: Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work

Sense and sensibility / Jane Austen ; edited with an introduction by Ros Ballaster ; with the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner

London : Penguin classics, 2008

Abstract: Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love
