Rozum a cit
JANE AUSTENOVÉ (1775 – 1817) 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 staletích překvapuje Austenová neobvyklou zápletkou, jemným humorem, skvělými dialogy i vřelostí citu. Mnohými čtenáři i kritiky je proto považována za největší autorku anglické prózy.

OWC Selected Letters
In one of her personal letters, Jane Austen wrote "Little Matters they are to be sure, but highly important." In fact, letter-writing was something of an addiction for young women of Jane Austen's time and in her social position, and Austen's letters
have a freedom and familiarity that only intimate writing can convey. Wiser than her critics, who were disappointed that her correspondence dwelt on gossip and the minutiae of everyday living, Austen understood the importance of "Little Matters," of
the emotional and material details of individual lives shared with friends and family through the medium of the letter. Ironic, acerbic, always entertaining, Jane Austen's letters are a fascinating record not only of her own day-to-day existence, bu
t of the pleasures and frustrations experienced by women of her social class which are so central to her novels. Vivien Jones's selection includes nearly two-thirds of Austen's surviving correspondence, and her lively introduction and notes set the n
ovelist's most private writings in their wider cultural context. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commi
tment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Lady Susan
Novela v dopisech s názvem Lady Susan je jediným plně dokončeným dílem z pera Jane Austenové, které nebylo publikováno za jejího života. Podobně jako původní verze prvního publikovaného románu Rozum a cit (ještě pod názvem Elinor a Marianne) jde o relativně krátké dílo v dopisech. Jak již název napovídá, hlavní hrdinkou je sobecká vdova Lady Susan, která se snaží nalézt co nejvhodnějšího manžela nejen pro sebe, ale také pro svoji dceru (kterou ovšem nutí do sňatku s mužem, kterého nenávidí). Austenová rozpracovává charakteristiky postav prostřednictvím reakcí na dopisy, které dostávají, přičemž hlavní hybatelkou příběhu i emocí je právě Lady Susan, důmyslně měnící tón dopisů podle toho, komu jsou určeny. Hlavní hrdinka popírá klasické standardy romantických románů – hraje až neuvěřitelně aktivní roli, je krásná, inteligentní i vtipná a její nápadníci jsou mladší než je ona sama. Není také bez zajímavosti, že během námluv s případným manželem bez problémů flirtuje se ženatým mužem. A v

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
