Award-winning narrator and internationally acclaimed writer/comedienne Alison Larkin brings depth and wit to this rich, hugely entertaining audio production of Jane Austen's last two great novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The novels are followed by The History of England, a short satirical piece in which the teenage Austen writes about the kings and queens of England with less respect (and more wit) than any British newspaper, and Poems, a selection of lesser known, mostly comic verses that Austen wrote to entertain family and friends.

After her impoverished family sends her to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle at opulent Mansfield Park, Fanny Price finds her life forever changed by the aristocratic Bertrams and the city-dwelling Crawford siblings.

From the publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes a new tale of romance, heartbreak, and tentacled mayhem.

Jane Austen wrote Love and Friendship (originally spelled Love and Freindship [ sic]) when she was just 14 years old. The three notebooks that contain her early works, including this story, are currently on display at the Bodleian Library and the British Museum. Taking the form as letters written by the heroine to the daughter of her friend, this story resembles a fairy tale that lampoons the conventions of romantic stories at the time.

After the death of their father, sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood face financial ruin. At the mercy of their half brother, John, and his greedy wife, their only hope is to make a good match. But reduced circumstances make courtship difficult - especially after being turned out of their home. While responsible Elinor takes a practical approach to matters of the heart, Marianne throws herself in unreservedly. In Jane Austen’s first novel, two of literature’s most iconic characters discover that love demands a balance of passion and pragmatism.

"Orgoglio e pregiudizio" è uno dei primi romanzi di Jane Austen. La scrittrice lo iniziò a ventuno anni. Rifiutato da un editore londinese...

Romanzo, scritto nel 1815, dopo "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" e "Ragione e sentimento", è il primo romanzo in cui l'eroina è bella, ricca e senza impedimenti di sorta (tanto che la Austen disse che quell'eroina non sarebbe piaciuta a nessuno fuorché a lei); per cui non ha necessità di sposarsi per vivere, e pertanto decide di "non sposarsi mai".

Catherine Morland ist jung, doch weder hübsch noch vermögend. Männern gegenüber scheu, entwickelt sie erst langsam ihre besondere Anziehungskraft, die das andere Geschlecht bezaubert. Als Satire auf den Schauerroman gedacht, zeigt das Buch Jane Austen auf der Höhe ihrer Kunst. Von scharfer Zunge, aber zärtlichem Herzen, zündet die Autorin ein Feuerwerk an Pointen.

Iniziato nel 1795 e pubblicato nel 1811, Ragione e sentimento di Jane Austen narra le vicende umane e sentimentali delle sorelle Dashwood...

Jane Austen erzählt in diesem Roman, der erstmals im Jahr 1811 erschien, die Geschichte der beiden Schwestern Elinor und Marianne. Elinor verkörpert Verstand, Selbstbeherrschung und Taktgefühl, Marianne hingegen Impulsivität, Leidenschaftlichkeit und spontane Hingabe. Jane Austen (1775-1817) gilt als die große Dame der englischen Literatur; all ihre Romane erfreuen sich weltweit einer millionenfachen Leserschaft.

Elinor und Marianne Dashwood sind so verschieden, wie zwei Schwestern nur sein können: während die eine diszipliniert und vernünftig ist, handelt die andere emotional und impulsiv.

Scritto tra il 1815 e il 1816, questo romanzo fu pubblicato postumo, nel 1818, dopo la morte dell'autrice nel 1817. Sembra che il titolo originale fosse "The Elliotts", ma l'autrice non ebbe la possibilità di scegliere il titolo prima della sua morte.
