Pride and Prejudice (Oxford World´s Classics)
'his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!' Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and menide down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If

Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense - or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you ever expect to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?

Pride and Prejudice
Many consider this rich social commentary to be Jane Austen's finest novel. It is certainly among her more famous ones. Austen sets her entertaining study of manners and misconceptions against the backdrop of a class-conscious society in 18th-century
England.
Spirited, intelligent Elizabeth Bennet is alternately enchanted and affronted by Mr. Darcy. She is quick to suspend her usual, more rational judgment when it comes to him. She also is quick to believe the worst gossip about this haughty, op
inionated man, who soon manages to alienate Elizabeth and her family. But is the condescending air that Mr. Darcy wars an indication of his real character? Or has Elizabeth's pride gotten in the way of her chance for true romance?Upozornenie: Vzhľado

Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775. She was an English novelist who wrote numerous works of romantic fiction. Ms. Austen has millions of adoring fans all around the world and she is one of the most beloved writers in all of English literature.Many people may be surprised to learn that Jane Austen only published six novels. However, these works have become the foundation for the true romantic novel ever since they found their way to the world early in the 19th century.An early version of this book was written under the title “Susan”. It was actually the first of Jane Austen's novels sold to a publisher who then advertised it as forthcoming, but never issued it. Jane Austen had the manuscript brought back more than ten years later, after several of her other novels had been published. She apparently made some revisions, but finally "put it on the shelf.” It was only after her death in 1817 that her brother Henry finally had it published (together with Persuasion). The title "Northanger Abbey" was not chosen by Jane Austen (she referred to the book in her letter as "Miss Catherine".

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage.

But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Pride and Prejudice
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited, he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Titokzatos vírus harapódzik el Angliában: a halottak életre kelnek és tisztes polgárok életét fenyegetik.
A Bennet-lányok igazi kardforgatók, mesteeri a keleti harcművészeteknek, és Mr. Darcy sem csak egy jó parti, hanem rengeteg élőhalott eltakarítása fűződik a nevéhez. A kimondhatatlanok pedig megkérdőjelezhető viselkedési kódexet követve grasszálnak az angol vidéken.
Jól nevelt és kifogástalan modorú hamvas úrinők és fess úriemberek két bál és házassági ajánlat között gyilkolják a zombikat - Jane Austen modorában.
