Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroinаыьоуes, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to бкпзхcope with her emotions in Mansfield Park: her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; and Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight Indeed not unlike her renowned creator Jane Austen is as sure-foбрюкщoted in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose Издание на английском языке Содержание Sense and Sensibility Новелла c 1-232 Pride and Prejudice Новелла c 233-472 Mansfield Park Новелла c 473-768 Emma Новелла c 769-1070 Northanger Abbey Новелла c 1071-1222 Persuasion Новелла c 1223-1380 Lady Susan Новелла c 1381-1431 Автор Джейн Остен Jane Austen Джейн Остен (Остин) родилась 16 декабря 1775 года в Стивентоне (Хэмпшир, Англия), в семье сельского пастора В детстве и юности Джейн Остин много читала, среди ее любимых авторов были Филдинг, Стерн, Ричардсон, Вальтер Скотт Судьба Остин не отмечена .
