Jane Austen

This epistolary novel, an early complete work that the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the main character

El amor y Amistad, es una historia juvenil de Jane Austen, con fecha de 1790. A partir de los once a os hasta que ella ten a dieciocho a os, Jane Austen escribi sus cuentos en tres cuadernos. Escrita en forma epistolar, al igual que su novela no publicada m s tarde, Lady Susan, Amor y Amistad se piensa que es uno de los cuentos que escribi para la diversi n de su familia; se dedic a su prima Eliza de Feuillide, "La condesa de Feuillide". Las cuotas, escritos como cartas de la hero na, Laura a Marianne, la hija de su amiga Isabel, pueden haber surgido como lecturas nocturnas del joven Jane Austen en el hogar. El amor y Amistad, es claramente una parodia de las novelas rom nticas Austen, le a de ni o. En la forma, que se asemeja a un cuento de hadas tanto como cualquier otra cosa, que ofrece coincidencias salvajes y las vueltas de la fortuna, pero Austen est decidida a satirizar las convenciones de historias rom nticas, hasta el fracaso total de desmayos rom nticas, que a su vez siempre termina mal para los personajes femeninos. 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.

Despite Lady Susan being one of her earliest works, it is perhaps Jane Austen's most ambitious book. It was probably written between 1793 and 1795 and not published until many years after Austen's death. Lady Susan is presented as a series of letters outlining the story of the widowed Lady Susan Vernon and her attempts to locate a rich husband for her daughter Frederica and an even richer one for herself. Lady Susan is a beautiful but scheming and unscrupulous woman. This book chronicles her quest, as well as her conquests, as she works her way through eighteenth-century English society. Solis Press is pleased to be able to publish this new edition, which has been typeset with a new, fresh design and includes modern English spellings, in time for the release of the film Love & Friendship.

The most famous of Jane Austen's novels, Pride and Prejudice has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, and it remains a source of fascination for modern readers; regularly ranking near the top of lists of "most loved books", no surprise for a book tackling issues from manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage. The novel centres on Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the five daughters of a landed country gentleman. Elizabeth's father, Mr. Bennet, is a bookish man and somewhat neglectful of his responsibilities. In contrast Elizabeth's mother, the empty headed Mrs. Bennet, a woman who lacks social graces, is primarily concerned with finding suitable husbands for her five daughters, who will inherit little or nothing from their father.

Systrarna Dashwood, bedragna på sitt arv av bror och svägerska, försöker navigera i kärleken under en tid då äktenskapet var en ekonomisk överenskommelse lika mycket som en känslomässig. Elinor, den ansvarsfulla storasystern, är för återhållsam och Marianne, den yngre och mer impulsiva är för lättrörd. Båda egenskaperna kan ställa till problem på den svåra vägen mot lyckan. Förnuft och känsla måste väga upp varandra för att de älskande ska kunna förenas. Nu kommer en nyöversättning av Maria Ekman av Jane Austens klassiker.

»Övertalning skär rakt in i vår instagrammande samtid.« Sveriges RadioAnne Elliot övertalades en gång att bryta sin förlovning med Frederick Wentworth, en sjökapten utan vare sig förmögenhet eller status. Nu möts de igen, åtta år senare. Jane Austens sista roman hör till de absoluta klassikerna i engelsk­språkig litteratur. Övertalning är briljant satir om fåfänga och högmod, men också en gripande berättelse om kärlek och missade möjligheter. Övertalning [Persuasion, 1818], som gavs ut postumt, räknas till Jane Austens viktigaste verk. I översättning av Jane Lundblad. JANE AUSTEN [1775-1817] var en engelsk författare, född i Steventon, Hampshire. Hennes romaner var realistiska, bitande ironiska skildringar av den engelska överklassen och inte minst kvinnans roll i den. I dag räknas hon till en av de största brittiska romanförfattarna genom tiderna. Mest berömda är kanske romanerna Förnuft & känsla [Sense & Sensibility, 1811], Stolthet & fördom [Pride & Prejudice, 1813] och den postuma Övertalning [Persuasion, 1818], men den i dag mest kritikerhyllade är Emma [1816].» Vid sidan av Jane Austen är James Joyce oskuldsfull som gräs.« W. H. Auden

»Jane Austens blick för sin egen samtids ­spelregler får oss att se våra.« ExpressenKärleken mellan Elisabeth Bennet och Fitzwilliam Darcy är en kamp. Han har sin stolthet, hon har sin krassa blick på världen. Lika tydlig som Jane Austens borgerliga roman är i skildringen av kärleksrelationer som maktmedel, lika mångbottnade och föränderliga är karaktärerna; lika levande är miljöerna och landskapet. Inte för intet är Stolthet & fördom en av historiens mest lästa och omtalade romaner. I svensk översättning av Carl Axel Ringenson, reviderad av Gösta Olzon.
