Jane Austen
Narodila sa 16. Decembra 1775 v Steventone, v kraji Hampshire, do rozsiahlej rodiny reverenda Georgea Austena (1731 - 1805) a jeho ženy Cassandry (rod. Leighovej) (1739 - 1827).

Pochádzala z ôsmich súrodencov, sama bola druhou najmladšou. Mala šesť bratov a staršiu sestru Cassandru Elizabeth, ktorá, ako svedčí množstvo zachovanej korešpondencie, jej bola z celej rodiny najbližšia. Bola to Cassandra, kto namaľoval jej jediný vierohodný portrét (dnes sa nachádza v Národnej portrétovej galérii v Londýne). Začiatky jej vzdelávania mal v rukách jej otec, ktorý nielen dôkladne vychovával svoje deti, ale im tiež poskytol základné vzdelanie. V roku 1783 začalo obdobie jej ďalšieho vzdelávania. Najprv krátko v Oxforde u pani Cawleyovej (sestry jedného z jej strýkov; tu ochorela Jane na týfus) a neskôr v Southhamptone. V rokoch 1785 - 1786 sa vzdelávala v dievčenskej internátnej škole v Readingu, Berkshire.

V tom čase bola uvedená do spoločnosti a začala žiť životom, ktorý bol v podstate rovnaký až do smrti. V láske nemala šťastie a rovnako ako jej staršia sestra sa nikdy nevydala.
V roku 1801 sa rodina presťahovala do Bathu (toto prostredie jej bolo inšpiráciou pre mnohé jej diela). Po smrti otca v roku 1805 Jane, Cassandra a ich matka žili s Frankom a jeho rodinou až do roku 1809, kedy sa znova presťahovali, tentoraz do Chawtonu. V tom čase už bola etablovaná ako spisovateľka, ak sa to tak dá povedať, pretože jej diela vychádzali anonymne (až po jej smrti brat Henry priznal verejne jej autorstvo). Jej zdravie bolo silne podlomené. Dnes sa uvažuje, že snáď trpela na Addisonovu chorobu alebo na tuberkulózu. Snaha vyliečiť sa ju viedla do Winchesteru, ale postup ochorenia bol taký rýchly, že zomrela do dvoch mesiacov, presne 18. júla 1817. Jej telo bolo pochované v miestnej katedrále.

Pýcha, předsudek a zombie


Adaptace klasického románu Jane Austenové s odvážnou Elizabeth, srdečnou Jane, trochu nesnesitelnou paní Bennetovou, povýšeným panem Darcym… a hordou obživlých mrtvol. Posláním paní Bennetové je provdat co nejdříve všech pět dcer, posláním pana Benneta je ochránit je před útoky krvelačných zombie, které sužují celou Anglii. Všechny dcery jsou zdatné v boji s nebezpečnými stvůrami, jejich každodenní trénink je však narušen příjezdem mladého a nezadaného pana Bingleyho a jeho přítele Darcyho. Elizabeth Bennetová ovšem neslyší svatební zvony, ale řinčení šavlí a lámání kostí. A jak by se mohla zamilovat do povýšeného a arogantního Darcyho? Bude pro Darcyho a Elizabeth těžší boj s nenasytnými zombie nebo s vlastními předsudky?

Complete Novels of Jane Austen


Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Here in one volume are her seven great novels: "Sense and Sensibility", "Pride and Prejudice", "Mansfield Park", "Emma", "Northanger Abbey", "Persuasion", and "Lady Susan". Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, Austen vividly portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriage - marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not romances; ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly evocations of the society Jane Austen observed. This beautiful volume covers the literary career of one of England's finest prose stylists of any century.

Pýcha a předsudek


Není pochyb o tom, že hrdinkou románu Pýcha a předsudek, Lízinkou, je sama Jane Austenová (1775–1817). Přestože prožila tak typicky nekonfliktní život (nikdy se neprovdala a jediné nabídnutí k sňatku prý během hodiny odmítla), neodráží se v jejím díle žádná osudová hořkost. Zdá se, že se ze své pozice dcery bez věna, a tudíž dívky bez zvláštních šancí na lepší sňatek, spíš nesmírně bavila – asi jako člověk, který v divadle sleduje zábavnou komedii. Přidáním ironického podtextu posunula románovou tvorbu ze sfér naivního realismu o několik generací dopředu. Víc než půldruhého století je doba, která dovedla pohltit stovky literárních děl, jimž se při zrodu prorokovala nesmrtelnost; a byla to díla s daleko efektnějšími a vzrušivějšími náměty než Pýcha a předsudek. Jemné kouzlo Jane Austenové má svůj stálý vděčný okruh čtenářů a každá nová generace autorčin odkaz objevuje po svém, v nových barevných odstínech a v novém lesku.

Sandition, Lady Susan, & the History of England


This rare collection is a must for all Jane-ites. It represents what Richard Church regarded as Jane Austen's literary work-basket, and contains some Austen's earliest work - her hilarious brief "History of England", illustrated by her favourite sister, which is a worthy forerunner of "1066 & All That", to the unfinished "Sanditon", the novel of her maturity on which she was working at her death aged 42. Also included are the two epistolary novels, "Lady Susan" and "Love and Friendship" (sic), "The Watsons", "Catharine", "Lesley Castle", "Evelyn", "Frederic and Elfrida", "Jack and Alice", "Edgar and Emma", "Henry and Eliza" and "The Three Sisters".
