Omtale fra forlaget
Complete and unabridged this elegantly designed, hardcover edition is slip cased and features a ribbon marker and period styling as well as an introduction providing the reader with enlightening information on Austen's life and works. Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a platform from which to address issues of gender politics and class consciousness among the British middle-class of the late eighteenth century. The novels included in the collection - Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan - represent all of Austen's complete novels, and provide the reader with an entrance into the world she and her memorable characters inhabited. With witty, unflinching morality, Austen portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Austin's heroines find happiness in many forms, each of the novels is a story of love and marriage-marriage for love, financial security and for social status. In a publishing career that spanned less than ten years her work brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime. It wasn't until the 1940s that she became widely accepted in academia as a great English writer. The second half of the 20th century saw a proliferation of Austen scholarship and the emergence of a fan culture. Austen's works continue to influence the course of the novel even as they charm readers today. Complete and unabridged this beautiful volume is magnificent. Elegantly designed, this cloth bound hardcover edition is slip cased and features a ribbon marker and period styling. A must have for any "Janeite". Also included is an original introduction that provides the reader with enlightening information on Jane Austen's life and works.

Mrs. Bates, the widow of a former vicar of Highbury, was a very old lady, almost past everything but tea and quadrille.
'[...] What two letters of the alphabet are there that express perfection?'
'What two letters - express perfection? I am sure I do not know.'
'Ah! you will never guess. You' (to Emma), 'I am certain, will never guess. I will tell you. M. and A. Emma. Do you understand?'
Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.
Wickedness is always wickedness, but folly is not always folly. It depends upon the character of those who handle it.

Se alle bokelskere som følger dette verketMange finner lesergleden først på ungdomsskolen, og når de skal videre til videregående skole, får jeg ikke lenger fortalt dem om alle de fine bøkene der ute som de bør prøve å få lest i årene som kommer. Få av bøkene på denne listen vil overraske, men det bør være noe for en hver her. Det er litt tilfeldig hva som er lagt inn av norske og engelske utgaver, og bøkene er så pass ulike at de slettes ikke vil passe alle. Beskrivelser vil bli lagt til etter hvert, sammen med flere bøker. Rekkefølgen er nokså tilfeldig.
