Synopsis "The Little Book of Jane Austen (in English)"

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen never goes out of style. Jane Austen's much-loved novels vividly describe 19th-century society. But they are also timeless classics that continue to enjoy wild popularity 200 years after the author's death. Her delightfully quotable observations on love, men and women, society and class remain as relevant as they ever were. Packed full of intelligent insights, witty asides and wry observations, alongside fascinating facts about Austen's remarkable life, this Little Book showcases some of the best lines ever crafted in the English language. "It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do." Sense and Sensibility, 1811 "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours and laugh at them in our turn?" Pride and Prejudice, 1813 "There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart." Emma, 1815 When she wasn't writing world-class novels, Jane Austen was often brewing beer - and makes frequent reference to it in her personal letters. It was common for Regency-era families to brew beer, as untreated water was often unsafe to drink.
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).
