Synopsis "The Complete Jane Austen Collection: Volume One: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Lami (in English)"

The Complete Works of Jane Austen includes all six novels, and Austen's shorter works. Volume One includes Sense and Sensibility, Pride and prejudice, and Mansfield Park. Volume Two includes Austen's novels Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion as well as her shoter works, Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sandition, and the complete Juvenilia. Sense and Sensibility - When the Dashwood sisters move into a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, they are torn between passion and reason. Elinor approaches life in a rational manner, while Marianne is wildly romantic. The story shows how the two sisters must learn from each other as they experience love, romance, and heartbreak.Pride and Prejudice - Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. The story shows how Elizabeth deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency.Mansfield Park - Mansfield Park begins with the marriage of three sisters. The first marries a wealthy baronet, the second marries a clergyman, and the third marries a naval lieutenant. When the lieutenant is wounded in battle, his eldest daughter Fanny is sent to live with the wealthy baronet at Mansfield Park. At Mansfield Park, Fanny grows up with her four older cousins, but is treated as an unwanted relation. Only Henry, treats her with kindness and respect. When the Crawford's move to the area, a comedy of errors develops involving betrayal, adultery, social ruin, and ruined friendships. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Jane Austen

(Author)

View Author's Page

Fue una novelista británica que vivió durante la época georgiana. Nació en la rectoría de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenecía a la gentry británica (nobleza rural o burguesía agraria), contexto del que no salió y en el que sitúa todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista.

Ha sido llevada al cine en numerosas ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el clásico Más fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la época actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptación libre de Emma. Otras versiones son la de Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo, la versión más fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que presentó la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jennifer Ehle. El interés que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en día muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida también ha sido llevada al cine con la película Becoming Jane (2007).
