Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. Mansfield Park (1814) is her thirdpublished novel and easily her most controversial. Deliberately darker in tone than its predecessor, Pride and Prejudice, it is the story of Fanny Price, an impoverished but respectable girl fostered out to her wealthy relations. Fanny must endure humiliation, neglect, misunder- standing, and bad acting before she is finally able to win through to marriage with a man worthy of her. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

PRIDE AND PUNISHMENT is an erotic retelling of a Jane Austen classic. Characters that you thought you knew...well, they're ready to reveal their secret selves. Mr. Darcy is a Dominant. Miss Elizabeth Bennet is submissive. Jane Bennet might be the only "handsome" woman in Meryton, but puppy-like Charles Bingley needs a Mistress. Mr. Darcy doesn't think Jane has what it takes and separates the couple. His growing lust leads Mr. Darcy to confess his desire to dominate Miss Elizabeth - a proposition that she mistakes for a proposal. Already accused of less-than-gentlemanlike behavior, Darcy must find a way to win the submissive heart of a woman who abhors him. Described as "Pride and Prejudice meets 50 Shades of Grey," Pride and Punishment is not your mother's Austen. This is a deliciously different BDSM erotic romance written for ages 18+. The original dialogue has been kept intact when possible. Passages modified to fit this retelling are rife with subtext and laden with innuendo. The basic timeline is essentially the same as Pride and Prejudice, but the characters populating the pages now include Darcy's bisexual cousin Hugh, his dominant Aunt Catherine/Mistress Cat, his "little" cousin Anne, his submissive sister Georgiana, kinky defiler-of-virgins George Wickham, lesbian switch Caroline Bingley, and militiamen who see more action in their bunks than out. This erotic Regency romance includes MF relationships, MFM m nage sexual congress, and BDSM activities and is written for adults only.

Though not the first novel she wrote, Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly", she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister

In this historic romance, young Elizabeth Bennet strives for love, independence and honesty in the vapid high society of 19th century England.

En esta novela se re nen los tres cuadernos que Jane Austen escribi a muy temprana edad (13-14 a os), y que ella misma llam vol menes y numer colectivamente del I al III. Hay textos que no corrigi nunca, pero otros son piezas muy evolucionadas que la autora revis justo antes de la publicaci n de Juicio y sentimiento. En los textos prevalece un humor m s desatado en inventiva de lo que ser normal en la autora, pero muy parecida al resto de su obra en los aspectos ir nicos e incisivos. Jane Austen naci en 1775 en Steventon (Hampshire). En 1811 conseguir a publicar Sentido y sensibilidad, a la que pronto seguir an Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Mansfield park (1814), y Emma (1816), que obtuvieron un gran xito. Despu s de su muerte, acaecida prematuramente en 1817, aparecer a junto con la in dita La Abad a de Northanger, Persuasi n (1818). Amor y Amistad es realmente una soberbia obra burlesca. El lector debe recordar que fue escrita en el siglo XVIII y que escribir una novela de esta magnitud en esa poca, era algo m s que contar chismes agradables.

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A Lady". A work of romantic fiction, better known as a comedy of manners, Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797, and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne.

With their mother, their sister Margaret, and their stepbrother John, they make up the Dashwood family. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak.
