Pride and Prejudice: The Sisterhood
Including an introduction from writer and feminist activist Scarlett Curtis, curator of Sunday Times Bestseller Feminists Don't Wear Pink.
The only thing in the world that matters to Mrs Bennett, is marrying all five of her daughters to rich, landed gentlemen.
So when two wealthy young gentlemen move to town, she vows that at least one of her daughters will marry into their fortunes.
Jane and Elizabeth, her eldest daughters, soon discover that love is rarely straightforward and is often surprising. Because, surely that sullen, quiet, mysterious Mr Darcy can't be more than he seems . . . can he?

Büszkeség és balítélet
Jane Austen után csupán hat teljes regény maradt és néhány töredék, ám e viszonylag kis életmű páratlan és időtálló sorokkal gazdagította az irodalmat. Legismertebb és sok kritikus szerint legjelentősebb darabja a Büszkeség és balítélet című regény. Mint Austen többi művét, ezt is feszes szerkezete, klasszikus stílusa, szellemes dialógusai, pompás pszichológiája és nem utolsósorban írónőjének csillogó okossága teszik ma is élvezetes olvasmánnyá.
A regény szűk társadalmi körben mozog, de pompásan jellemzett alakok széles skáláját vonultatja fel. A jómódú Mr. Bennetnek falusi földbirtoka, buta és fecsegő felesége, valamint öt lánya van. Jane, a legidősebb szép és kedves, bele is szeret Mr. Bingley, a szomszéd birtok bérlője. De barátja, Mr. Darcy, aki gőgös, kellemetlen alak, nemcsak hogy kemény vitákba keveredik Elizabeth-tel, Jane briliáns eszű és éles nyelvű húgával, de barátját is lebeszéli a hozzá nem illő házasságról. Eliza rosszul ítéli meg Darcyt, s amikor az váratlanul megkéri a kezét, fejére olvassa gőgösségét és kikosarazza.
A regény végére mindkét főszereplő leküzdi hibáját: egyik a büszkeségét, másik az előítéleteket, s boldogan egymáséi lesznek, mire természetesen a másik pár boldogságának sincs többé akadálya.

Pride and Prejudice
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's classic novel of manners and mores in early nineteenth century England.
As the Bennets prepare their five grown daughters to enter into society, each shows personality traits that illuminate their future prospects as wives. Jane, the oldest, is the most demure and traditional, and Lydia, the youngest, the most headstrong and impulsive. Attention centres on haughty second-born Elizabeth, and her blossoming relationship with the dashing but aloof Fitzwilliam Darcy. Adversaries at first in the endless rounds of balls, parties, and social gatherings, they soon develop a grudging respect for one another that blossoms into romance when each comes to appreciate the tender feelings that course beneath the veneer of their propriety and reserve.
A mansfieldi kastély
A jó nevű, ám szegény családba született Fanny Price-t anyja a Mansfield Parkban lakó gazdag rokonaihoz küldi. A mansfieldi kastély Sir Thomas Bertram otthona, itt él feleségével és négy gyermekével. A család befogadja ugyan a lányt, de sohasem kezeli egyenrangúként.
Fanny életében mély törést jelent a szülői házból való kiszakadás, és helyzetét - különösen a kezdeti időkben - nem túlzottan könnyíti meg a két elkényeztetett Bertram lány sem. De a fiúk közül az egyikben, Edmundban hamarosan megértő társra talál, s barátságuk idővel szerelemmé érik.
Az évek során nemcsak Fanny járja ki az érzelmek iskoláját, hanem négy fiatal rokona és a sorsukban oly jelentős szerepet játszó szép Crawford testvérpár is, akik megnyerő modorukkal és külsejükkel alaposan felforgatják a család mindenapjait, és összezilálják a konzervatív értékrendet.
A művet, melynek fő- és mellékszereplői egyaránt emlékezetes, árnyaltan megrajzolt figurák, a jellegzetes austeni irónia teszi még élvezetesebb olvasmánnyá.

Love and Freindship
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
Jane Austen is remembered for her six masterpieces of the Regency era: from the heroines of Elizabeth Bennett and Emma Woodhouse, to the villains of Mrs. Norris and John Willoughby. But these characters were not born overnight. They sprung from Austen's experiences as a young girl, and many early iterations can be found in the earliest of her writing: her Juvenilia.
Austen was only a teenager when she wrote her Juvenilia. In the 'History of England', Austen champions (and laments) the great kings of England as 'a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian'; in 'Lady Susan', she writes a titular anti-heroine that schemes and cheats her way through high society; and in 'Love and Freindship', Austen paints a picture of a woman looking back on her extremely unfortunate life.
Writing on the cusp of literary greatness, Love and Freindship offers a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into a young Jane Austen.

The Complete Novels Of Jane Austen (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
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.
Persuasion
At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

Mansfield Park
Taken from the poverty of her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle's absence in Antigua, the Cra
wford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. "Mansfield Park" is considered Jane Austen's first mature work and, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social positio
n and moral integrity, one of her most profound.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobrazená obálka môže byť iba ilustračná. Obsah knihy aj

Opatství Northanger
Módní lázeňské město Bath před dvěma staletími: sem jezdili angličtí otcové léčit v horkých pramenech klouby trápené dnou a spolu s manželkami uvádět dcery do společnosti s cílem upoutat zájem žádoucích ženichů. Hrdinky příběhu, upřímná, bezelstná mladinká Catherine a její mazaná přítelkyně Isabella si toto své poslání zpestřují četbou tehdy velmi oblíbených hororových gotických románů a jejich rekvizity vidí na každém rohu. Taková situace dává Jane Austenové výbornou příležitost rozehrát svůj proslulý smysl pro humor a ironický vtip.

Rozum a cit
JANE AUSTENOVÉ (17751817) mohlo celé devatenácté století děkovat za galerii krásných moderních žen, které měly odvahu chovat se tak, jak jim velel zdravý rozum ať už to byla Elizabeth z Pýchy a předsudku, Eleonor z Rozumu a citu nebo Anna z románu
Anna Elliotová. Její první publikovaný román Rozum a cit (1811) dodnes nachází vděčné čtenáře a především čtenářky, neboť hrdinkami jsou dívky a ženy, které se musí smířit s tvrdostí života a najít rovnováhu mezi rozumem a citem. I po téměř dvou sta
letích překvapuje Austenová neobvyklou zápletkou, jemným humorem, skvělými dialogy i vřelostí citu. Mnohými čtenáři i kritiky je proto považována za největší autorku anglické prózy.
